Once again the weather is doing its best to confuse us, rain and it's a little cooler at times, though my husband is in the South Island, and he says it is freezing (well for a North Island boy) and he has a beanie on under his hardhat, so I guess some of us cannot complain.
What an awesome week, you know those days where creativity just comes in and wham, the idea is there, it works, everything you need is at hand, and you just go to it! No, me neither! No that's not true, I have had some amazing days where everything went well, and then my order arrived from overseas, and seems like I did't't concentrate to much when I put the order through. Firstly, who knew that ranger did tags that were 30cm long, not me, but it turns out that is what size 12 is. Also Adirondack do an ink pad that is half an a4 page, no didn't' know that either, next time I will order in the morning when my brain may have been hooked up properly, after the coffee has run a course through my veins. Never mind, there is nothing like a learning experience to make the day interesting.
So hopefully you have noticed the new Logo at the top of the page, I love it. My daughter works for Tainui Press in Matamata and she designed it for me. A new logo for a new business for us, still more about that coming soon.
I hope you have joined us on face book, 1st prize has been given away, and I will be offering another prize up soon, so if you haven't joined yet, please do so.

This is a fun book. Would make a great gift for Christmas to your daughter, or a grandchild, or someone special even your mum.

You could making fun of the lessons learned in life from your mother, (tongue in cheek), a small photo album, a recipe book, a positive affirmations book, a wedding gift, a baby book for a new mum, so I am giving you the option to make the book, and then just add your own touch to the book.

Right finally am I feeling brave? What did you do last week that scared you? anything? Did you try something you have always been worried about trying?
So here is my efforts
This is my first attempt at painting, and I am pretty happy. No I didn't draw the face, I started with a black and whitebase image, I painted the nose in though she didn't have one, and all the other features are all mine. it looks really good in real life, the camera has flattened it a bit. So I got brave what about you?
So email me or phone me on 07 8873901 if you have any questions, or you want to book a spot. Leave me a message on the phone if I am out and about or working upstairs.
If you email me and I do not get back to you within 24 hours I have not got the email, I have different virus checkers and every now and again I am not getting an email. I do not ignore emails, I respond as soon as I can.
Catch you in class.
all the best Jo
