South Africa, Ballerinas and lost teeth.

I've been blog surfing this morning.  Among other things.  I came across this blog on my travels.  Mel from Kaisercraft recently attended the South African event that I was originally meant to travel to.  Her write-up of the trip is amazing and makes me wish even more that I had been able to attend the event.  My favourite part of Mel's blog though?  This quote.

When I stand before God at the end of my LIFE, i would hope that i would not have a single bit of talent left, and can say " I USED EVERYTHING you gave me"

Oh so true and something to think about.

Tracie Hudson also attended the same event.  Her write-up is lovely also.  It makes me look forward to next year even more, when I'm due to hop on the big plane and head over to South Africa to teach.  Bring it on.

Congrats to Trina and Heidi for their winning pages on the Prima blog today!  Go kiwi!

A short post from me today. Abby told me when I asked her to get into her pajamas the other day that "Ballerinas don't wear pajamas".  Silly me, what was I thinking?  It's something I need to get on a layout before I forget. 

Here's a layout from the latest Tarisota kit.  These pics taken at the start of 2008 when Brady lost both his two front teeth.  The lovelyLG edited the pics and I've been scrapping them over and over since.  I promise I'll move on soon. 
I'm so enjoying getting the story back into my pages.  I'd slipped for a while and scrapbooking started to lose it's gloss.  A friend encouraged me to start telling more stories like I used to.  I've started doing so and all of a sudden scrapbooking is so much more important again.

Now to find those ballerina in pajama embellishments. ;o)
