Days 161 - 162, 9 - 10 June 2012: netball and Tim Holtz

Hello!

Day 161, 9 June 2012 - My View
I spent the morning at the inter-school netball carnival with my daughter. She played four games and had a wonderful time. This photo was looking back over the playing fields, towards the sun. It was funny weather, cold one second, hot the next, cloudy and sunny all at once. The sun is that bright patch in the middle of the cloud. ;-)

Day 162, 10 June 2012 - The best part of the week-end
What a great theme for today. Today was the annual Brisbane Papercrafting Expo at the Brisbane Convention Centre. And it certainly was a highlight of my week-end. I bought myself an OTT light, so I can set up  my crafty corner in the {dark} rumpus room and move off the dining room table.  I bought some new Hero Arts background stamps {yay!} and a few other little bits and pieces. The highlight, though, was to see Tim Holtz demonstrating his products. In particular, he was working with alcohol inks. He's fantastic! I learned heaps and also developed a massive desire for a full set of alcohol inks {oh dear!}. Here he is.

I like this photo for all the colour and product, but I thought it was a bit "clean" for Tim Holtz, so I edited it a little.

There we go, that's better, more grungy!

Days 159 - 160, 7 - 8 June 2012

Hello!

Day 159, 7 June 2012 - Drink
Well, I cheated a bit. On 7 June, all I drank was a morning coffee and lots of water. Not even fancy water. Just water out of a tap in a glass. So I held off until 8 June and took this photo. Friday night Gin and Tonic. Now that's more like it!

It was a good one!

Day 160, 8 June 2012 - 6 o'clock
6am I was still snoozing away, so I had to use 6pm. At 6pm, as well as drinking that delicious G&T, I was making my Friday night pizzas.

That one's mine - ham, salami, capsicum, capers, onion. Usually I have olives, but I'd run out.

These ones belong to my kids - ham, salami, pineapple, definitely no onion (or there would be a rebellion).

I love Friday night pizzas. Another food tradition in our home.

Days 156 - 158, 4 - 6 June 2012

Hello!

Day 156, 4 June 2012 - Close Up
I looked and looked and looked, but with a very busy day at work, it came down to almost the last thing I did before the end of the day - driving my daughter home from swim squad. A close up of my speedometer.

Day 157, 5 June 2012 - Sign
I like this photo a bit better. The sign at my train station. I liked the orange against the blue sky. :-)

Day 158, 6 June 2012 - Hat
I meant to take a photo of myself in a groovy beanie that my aunty made. But I went to work without it, and the only hat I had available was one of the safety hats. Tres chic!

Yes, sometimes I'm silly.

Days 153 - 155, 1 - 3 June 2012

Hello!

Day 153, 1 June 2012 - Morning
I spent the morning at my daughter's swimming lesson.

Day 154, 2 June 2012 - Empty
In the middle of writing a job application. My page was empty.

The good news is that it filled up and I submitted the application. Playing the waiting game to see if I get an interview...

And because this is a very BORING photo, here is a prettier subject - Coco, my spoodle.

Day 155, 3 June 2012 - On My Plate
On my plate was Sunday morning pancakes, our family tradition.

Yum!
