Ok, I got it a little bit wrong

I got the name of the author of the Book of She a little bit wrong. Her name is Kobi Yamada. After checking Claire's blog I realised I had it totally wrong.
Anyhow now that I've cleared that up, I'm going to my scrapbook room to 'plan'. Layouts I need/want to do and in what order. ETC. ETC. ETc.

'Book of She'




I am just loving participating in the Book of She that Claire has organised on the Scraptacular website.


Anyone can join in. Each month there is a new quote which is what your page is based on. I love it.


It really makes me think about my journalling. It makes me dig a little deeper to achieve something more meaningful than 'life was OK'. It makes me confront a little more but in a creative way so that I can bring happiness to the page as well.


The quotes are great and can from the Book of She by Kyobi (can't remember her last name!), but it really is all about being a woman. And what that means to each of us is different and can be expressed in our journalling.


However, I think I need some new photos of 'me' cuz I can't keep using the same ones.


Had a busy week preparing a lot of 'stuff' for Church. I made cards to cover lots of different situations and helped make assignments for two of our members who had been in hospital. So they could get some meals when first at home. And did some shopping to buy fun stuff for a soon to be new mum, and little gifts for 'just because we care' type of thing. Nice to spend someone else's money!!


So, although I had 3 consecutive days off work. I was pretty busy.


I was pretty chuffed with the cards I made and decided to take some photos and upload them to the gallery at Scraptacular, but my camera has decided to not recognise the USB connection. Just out of the blue! So, now I have to take it back, and they have to send it away, and I might be without it for a few weeks. Darn! Or, as one of my grandsons said at age 2, "Crap Guy!"


I really need it back because on the 24th of this month it's McKenzies 2nd birthday and I can't not be taking any photos.


Had a lovely sleep in today. I woke up at 10am. Pretty neat really! I guess I 'needed' a good sleep!


I've been having a lot of fun making collages of photos on Picasa2. It's a photo editing software that you can download for free. It's run by Google. And it's great for those times when you take 189 photos of one day, and you want to scrapbook them all!!!! You can make a collage of 8 or 12 or 24 - whatever you want and then print it off. Then you get that many photos on one page!!! There are also some great colour effects options too.


If I just would get off this puter then I might have some time to scrapbook!!!!!!!


But - I've gotta finish our Family Puffing Billy Day first. It's going to end up being a whole album. If only I had discovered Picasa before getting so many photos printed.
