This has to be one of my most favourite times of the year. Yes I love the crazy build up from now until Christmas. I love Guy Fawkes, I love the school productions and the prizegivings, and I love the Christmas parties at school and kindy – it's a magical few months.
Except this year there is something spoiling it. I'm hating the election stuff. I don't do politics too well, I was a complete over-acheiver at school yet I did nothing better than average at History in 5th form. I did 6 subjects for School Cert which goes to show you what a girlie swot I was (until I hit 16 huh Dad? hehehee) but history blew my mind. There was normally fights between political parties or religeons and I could never keep my facts straight. It's the same now. I've had enough of political talk taking up space in my already-full-of-important-stuff-like-scrapbooking-and-fudge-recipes mind, and I'm ready for it to be over. SOOO ready infact that when I drive past those little roadside signs lined up just down the road from me that I want to jump the curb in my car and knock them down. But I won't. Because it would cost me money that may be already assigned to being spent on said scrapbooking or fudge recipes. If I could remember the recipes – please let the election stuff be over soon.
The kits – most have sold, I just have a few paintables left – email me if you are interested. (Details 2 posts down).
Ok apparently I'm not done on the election thing because – talk about timing – I just answered the phone and it was a recording asking me to vote for a certain party. Seriously PEOPLE. If you ring my phone, make me get out of my chair, break my concentration, just to hear a voice recording, I will not be voting for your party. As i said. Please election stuff be over soon. My hubby thrives on this stuff – he watches the interviews on TV and he tries to explain policies to me. I nod and agree, or disagree, whichever seems appropriate at the time. Lucky he is doing the thinking for us, come election day it will be him telling me which box to tick.
Talking of my fab man, here is a layout I created for the Aussie Scrap Source blog – the assignment was 'arty' which isn't usually me, but I gave it a go. And actually it's turned out my most favourite layout in ages. My hubby's boots and hammer were sitting in the garage just like that one day and I snapped a pic – the pic summarises what he does, what he is, who he really is, so I loved it. I got all arty with the Glimmer Mist (You'll be pushed to find layouts done by me lately that doesn't use it!) and cardboard and also used Tim Holtz Grungeboard which I hadn't used for ages. I wish I was as proud of every layout!
Laters.
