Hi everyone,

Some of you may not know that I am a midwifery educator and I have been writing for some time a curriculum for where I work so we can teach mid to overseas midwives so they can work in Australia and for any midwives who are no longer registered  and have to update.
Anyway, I have submitted my curriculum and now I am starting to see reality with some shopping for the mid lab.  I have attached our brand new, baby Annie, sitting in front of my window.  Annie was very grateful to escape suffocation from the plastic bag that engulfed her and looks forward to being resuscitated (hopefully successfully) for many years.
Cheers,

Joan
Last weekend my DH and I went to Grong Grong for This is Your Life for his cousin Lorraine and her husband Bruce.  Now, you may well ask, where is Grong Grong?  Well, it's on the Newell Hwy, 20K past Narrandera, NSW.
It was great to see the whole town out at the Mechanics Institute for the night out, followed by brunch on Sunday.
I will attach a photo that I took from the sports club and another that I took on the way home of a road obstacle.  When we left Grong Grong the weather was a beautiful 29 and by the time we hit Victoria it was a freezing 10-12.

Accordion flip card


This is the almost complete accordion flip card using the JOFY stamps from Paper Artsy that I made yesterday. I have fallen in love with the Mermaid paint colour! I will make a Christmas one of these on Friday for Crafters Cupboard to show at Picture to Page at Sandown Racecourse at the weekend.  I hope to be teaching this on November 30th at Berwick.
More good news today - I found my digital SLR camera hiding under the stairs.
Cheers for now,

Joan

Inaugural post!!

What do you say when you finally get around to creating a blog?  Of course, the proof will be in the pudding as I keep up with posts and photos.
I have spent this afternoon creating a little album show casing Paper Artsy products for Crafters Cupboard.  I have a love of nature - flowers in particular and this album shows the JOFY stamps off. I am now a design team member for Crafters Cupboard, which is good because I love Paper Artsy stamps and paint.

Secondly, I have been busy tidying up my craft room so I can fit everything in (including me) without tripping over and losing everything in the room.  I am about a 1/3 through the room and there is a significant mountain of craft supplies increasing for my garage sale.

I will add some photos when I have time to sort out a Samsung that wont talk to my Mac.
