I think the drought has broken. I went to bed last night with the sound of rain on the roof and dreamt all night of flood and ruin. I woke this morning, happy that there was no flood or ruin, and checked the Pukekohe Weather Station to find we had 2.3 inches of rain yesterday. Yes. I think we can say the drought has broken. The farmers are grinning.
So after I went to the Pukekohe weather station to check out yesterday’s data, yes I am a secret weather freak, I went to Etsy. So many people link Etsy on their blogs and talk about cool stuff and I’ve refused to really go there. I’ve never been one of the cool kids, I didn’t want to fall into the cool link-etsy-on-my-blog trend. But this morning I accidently went to Etsy. As ya do. And found this seller amusing. She makes bags and hats and other stuff out of used grocery bags. Incredibly economical and even better, incredibly eco-friendly. I love what she named her bags. The "Might as well buy one more thing bag" bag. The Big ole bag bag and ‘Feeling blue and loving it bag bag’.I nearly wanted one. Then I reminded myself. You are on Etsy. You are going to want one of everything. Put the wallet down. And I did.
Tarisota has a mother’s day competition, go to the Tarisota blog for details, but it has to be today/tomorrow because the competition closes soon. You answer 3 simple questions, and you are in the draw to win some beautiful Tarisota goodies. You also need to name who sent you to the blog so that they can also be in the draw. No need to name me, just name your bestest scrapping friend. You have to be in to win, so go here! Scrapping is so full of giveaways ain’t it? Love scrapbooking. lol.
Those of you that commented about Becky Fleck’s Sketch book – yes! I did know that Becky had done a layout about Paul & I – but NO I hadn’t remembered that this was the publication it was going in! Even more reason for me to get it. lol.
Hey – the ad guy from the last post. David downs from ‘Away Laughing" comedian in the Jon Bridges type era. DANG the relief when I was told that was HUGE! He’s also been on Shortland street.
Ok another layout that was in Memory Makers Magazine recently. "The Maiden" journaling reads:
Yea Cute.
I can still get mad at cute though.
Like every day when you come home from school and drop your jersey in the middle of the floor.
"WHAT IS THIS?" I’ll ask.
Your answer:? "Oh that’s for the maiden to pick up."
The Maiden?
At some point I was promoted from Maid to Maiden. Nice.
Oh – I was going to leave it there but I have one more thing – Leah Fung and Johanna Peterson and their video blogs. LOVE THEM. Make time to watch them if you can. Number 19 that is up there now is particularly funny, and I laughed outloud at their out-takes at the end because they remind me of myself so much. Funny girls :o)
