It is hard to make a sympathy card for somebody. Choosing the right colours and words often leaves me sitting and thinking. You cannot go wrong with black, white and or red.
Here are some more photos from Jessica's 7th Birthday Party. I think Chloe had just as much fun as everybody else. She loved the food and the presents and all the activities. She is such a little character. Jessica had a ball.
Melanie went to a lot of trouble to make Jessica's Birthday afternoon tea special for her 7th birthday. These cup cakes were so yummy. The birthday cake was also. The icing was delicious. She even bought a tea set that she served orange drink in. The sugar bowl had marshmallows in it. We all had a great time especially Jessica and Chloe who likes to be in the thick of things.
I made this card for Jessica's 7th Birthday. Cuttlebugs make the greatest cards, especially if you like texture.

The only difference between this card and the previous ones is the pleated fabric on the bottom of the card. I have used tape to pleat the fabric onto the card. I also made the bow out of the same fabric. These cards are so quick and easy to do and so much fun.
I am holding a crop this weekend at Beaumont Hills. It is on Saturday all day. Cardmakers and scrapbookers welcome. If you want to know more e-mail me roseannemon@yahoo.com

With Valentine's Day looming I thought I would make a few cards to celebrate the day. Not that I will get any myself.
This was taken after a long walk. I look worn out but I wasn't. The Pacific Ocean in the background.
There was this fantastic walkway along the coast through bush land and also rocks etc. I loved the fresh air here. Getting out and walking in nature is so refreshing. 
I love lighthouses. They are all so different. This one blended in with the sky.
These photos were taken when Brian and I went for a walk along the coast one day. It was overcast and raining most days but we still managed to get out and about.
Once again I have been playing with wrapping paper and putting it through the Cuttlebug and lightly sanding it. I have inked it with Olive Versafine ink and used a Kaisercraft wooden stamp for the sentiment. I have used the small hearts embossing folder for the background on the card and the wrapping paper.
I have wanted to do this for a long time but haven't had time. There are some cool ideas for it.
I definitely would not have lasted 35 years in the teaching service if I had of followed these rules.
No fancy flush toilets for the kids back in the early days. Imagine the smell!
Check out the classroom. No computers in this room for the kids.
School's in kids. Me ringing the school bell.
I have gone back in time. Check out my new school. This is what small country schools in Australia in the 1800s and early 1900s looked it.
This is page 2 of the Pink and Black pages of the Circle Journal I am participating in.
I have just noticed the difference in the pinks. One was taken with a flash and the other without it. Amazing.
I loved this "bush cubby" at Timbertown ,Wauchope near Port Macquarie. Brian and I went there for the day and had a fantastic time looking around. Life in Australia was harsh and a hard way of life back in the 1800s. I am sure glad I wasn't around then.
