And the worst movie ever award goes to "Ace Ventura Junior - Pet detective". Taking a successful Jim Carrey movie - don't enjoy the man myself but he has a great following - and trying to remake the same movie without him was real ambitious. I thanked God all the way through I wasn't stuck in a cinema and I could at least, make excuses to get off the couch and relieve the awful monotony.
First day of holidays.
Tasks for the day... take all Mummy's buttons, sort and arrange into rainbow colour order.
(no you can't have the TV, playstation or computer on).
Followed by drawing pictures of lightening bolts. Why lightening bolts? We've had a few thunder-lightening type storms over the past week or so. that's an awfully colourful lightening bolt there, Abby, but my favourite part? He attempt at spelling the words. Clever chicken.
Sad days. I found out today that Cadbury changed their dairy milk recipe. I didn't actually shock horror like the last packet of freddos I had - I guess these news articles shows why.
Looks like CK has sold...
Please check out this link - the Creating Hope Blog. Lots of artists - we are hoping up to 100 artists creating to this one piece and every is able to buy raffle tickets. I don't get involved in a lot of this kind of stuff but couldn't turn this one down.
Aussie Scrap Source has some new challenges on their blog. They involve colour challenges and words - this one went up recently.
And this was my contribution. Ya know, when Pink Paislee first appeared on the scene, I wasn't sure about them. They have quickly become a favourite.
This week is a whole lotta BasicGrey creating for the CHA booth, and a whole lotta class kit packing for SENZ. And a whole lot of avoiding the TV and playstation. Good luck to me.
laters.
I knew something was up with the chocolate I ate on Saturday - it tasted wrong!! Like Cadbury chocolate you can buy in Australia or Canada. Now I know why :-(

Hey NIc, I keep noticing the beautiful script cut out titles you have and wondering if they are off a die cutting machine or if you use a font then exacto knife them out? What is it called (the font or die cut whichever it may be?)

Good luck with school holidays and no playstation! I think you should check out Stacy Julian's blog with her Bingo idea... I didn't set it up at home but followed the philosophy, which is that you need to get certain things done in the day before the fun stuff can start happening. It worked yesterday, but I'm thinking I need to formalize it with some Bingo-type checklists at my place. :P
Love your "sometimes" LO. And I can't wait to see your new BG pages! :)

I'm with you on Pink Paislee but it took me a while! LOL. Love the button idea - just might set that as a task/activity for today. Mine are listening to Harry Potter stories on CD from the library - my house has never been so quiet during holiday time. LOL

Gotta say, I love peeking in your world of winter- (its summer here) and fish and chips on newspaper! We do hot dogs and fries in mini baskets for movie night!
For movies- If you loved Eragon- try Dragonheart. Its older- about the last dragon- and Sean Connery plays the dragon- cant beat that! My son loved it!
