Pink.

"If I could be anything, I'd be a Flamingo".  I love that.  Abby was amazed at the flamingoes at her first zoo visit about this time last year, and has continued to count on them as the number one cutest animal (ok not technically..but...) in the world.  When we left the zoo that day we treated the kids to something small at the zoo shop and Abby chose a small soft toy flamingo, who was appropriately named "Pink".  "Pink" sleeps with her at night and has remained a constant companion ever since.  Alongside a small pink beanie baby pony that was sent to her from Canada, who was named ce-ce-mo-ic pony for some reason - noone knows why.

Anyway, while going through the questions for Abby's "About me" album, she told me if she could be anything, she'd be a flamingo.  I took a photo of Abby with one foot down, and one up, looking remarkably like the cutest pink flamingo there is, and I'll be scrapping that page soon for her little album.

Here are the latest pages I have done for her album, they didn't photograph well.  Again, nothing flash, no great exciting technique or anything here.  I'll put them in the sidebar gallery for closer looks.

Thanks to those allowing me to upload their pages to the 'All About Me' photo album in the left sidebar.  It's filling up fast.  Many of the pages are not in the order I'm doing them and people are putting their own spin on things - awesome!  Really!  It's the way to do things.  Go with the flow! 

I see that ScrapScene have a contest - open to all countries - on their site at the moment.  You just have to create something, layout, altered piece, anything, that uses a few of the most recent trends as pinpointed by ScrapScene lately.  The prize is massive.  Click here for details.  I love when this type of competition is open to NZ/Aussie - even Quebec!  So I hope some of us take the time to enter.  The prize is well worth it!

Anyone have a run-down on the SIA convention in Aussie this past week?  I'd love to read.  I hear it was a success and a true credit to those who orgnaised it, but I need details! lol.  Lonk me to blog posts if you have them!

Ok.  The puke (That's pook-e!) girls are cropping today, I'm home as Paul is working and the kiddos need feeding.  Despite the temptation to lock them in a room with a bag of cornflakes and case of coca-cola , a stack of DVD's and take off for the day, my common sense got the best of me.  They have the best mum.

ROFLOL. I would seriously have opted for the cornflake/coca cola plan. Then again, my kids are 16 and 12!
