I just received my cuttlebug embossing folder from Scrapboutique. This store is so quick and efficient. You don't have to wait ages and ages to receive your items. All items are very reasonably priced.  Love it. My new stamp is from Stampitcrazy another super shop, very quick to post out your items. I found this stamp through a beautiful blog by Blackdragon. The art on this site is just gorgeous.

Second last week of term...Yay!!!

Ten things about me-you might already know...

1. I moved from the city 2 and a half years ago. I was living in a remote community for the last two years (population 804). I am now living is a country town, (population 4000-5000).

2. I absolutely love my job as a teacher because I love teaching, but also because I can spend time with my family at school!!!!

3. Despite living in one of the most beautiful country towns ever, I am not a camper. I really appreciate the beautiful landscapes that surround me, but I am at a point in my life where I need creature comforts. 

4. I love reading. My most favourite authors are Stephen King, Juliet Marillier, Phillip Pullman, J.K. Rowling and Robin Hobb. I love books that take me on a surreal adventure. I need to read every single day and when I finish my book, I'm always a little sad...

5. I am so glad I started blogging. I'm extremely shy and blogging has been such a nice way to make friends. I am so thankful to every single person who has stopped by and left a comment. It's so nice to have that connection when you've moved far away from  family, etc. 

6. I find co-incidence, psychic moments and unexplainable events fascinating. I love hearing about true, weird events. If you have any, please share them with me!!

7.  I love music!! I have a wide range of songs I like to listen to from the 70s to now, some classical, some independent, but I am not an opera fan. Most of all I love listening to my girls playing their clarinets, keyboard and violin. I myself, play nothing.

8. I love watching movies.My favourites are The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Big Fish and anything directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

9. I love cooking!!! I love learning new recipes and trying new food, too. 

10. This year my husband and I will have been married for 17 years and together for 23-more than half our lives together. I think that's cool!!

Phew!!!

Shrine Pendant

I just love these alterable shrine pendants from Jen Crossley's shop, A Mark In Time. 
I filled the bottle is filled with watch parts. Just click for a closer look.

ATC and Bling

This ATC was made with Bombshell's new range of stamps- I adore these stamps!!!! I used shrink plastic for the words and watercolour pencils to colour the image.

 

The pendant was made with using items from Jen Crossley's shop, A Mark in Time. I used white and patina rub n buff to rub over the edges to pick up the joins and age the watch dials. Alright, off to school to finish writing those dastardly reports...
