Nothing major to report on this side, though I must admit I was very very good this weekend, I created a LO woohoo, I have taken any photos yet as Saturday and Sunday just seem to fly by and before I knew it I was setting my clock for work this morning. So hoping to take a few snap shots tonight so I can upload to my system, UKS and here.
Ah yes the lovely UKS..............I am utterly lost, even though I work Mon-Fri 9-5 and incidentally very busy at work, I always like the have UKS running in the background so I can pop in and see all my lovely friends on there and catch up with them, and read the posts and generally gather very informative information! It has been down since 9.30 last night for a server swap, so we all know that its serious but I miss it, my little life line, oh OK I know I have work and that is a life line, but somehow being on UKS I feel more (trying to think of the word!) I feel more not welcome but part of something, that's it UKS makes me feel part of something big, and crafting of all sorts is something big.
And I'm even more lost today as my good friend is off work today, so have not had our daily catch ups and chats today, and I think because I'm on my own in the office every Monday my day is dragging even more, I hope she is OK bless her she is going through a difficult time at the moment, so a little word to you my little buddy I'm here to listen and hopefully make you chuckle at least once during your day :-))
Still slowly reading through the book I purchased by Cathy Zielske, I can tell you now that woman is god when it comes to photography, design and scrap booking, I created my LO on the weekend with her in mind, and how she uses the pages, tip, tricks and techniques I think she is utterly amazing, and have put her second book on my birthday list!
Birthday I hear you shout, its your birthday LOL!! well it is on 1st July I will be the young and tender age of 32 (mum argued with me the other day saying I was 33!), and for this birthday I have decided to ask for money, I would normally spend it on crafting stuff, but this time I have an aim.........this little beauty
Its the new Fuji Finepix S9600 and its lush, so I have put my one item list (OK that's a fib) in front of Roger and gave that sigh and lost puppy look.Talking of photos, I think cos I'm so into photography I'm finding all sorts of amazing things to photograph, and we have a decent Fuji 5.2 compact now, but I feel I just need that stage or two up, but yesterday we picked mum up and took her to the cemetery to see dad and put our cards on his rose, and it truly was a lovely moment, the sun was shining, perfect blue skies, and we walked into the part where Dad, Nanny and Granddad's roses are and the array of colour and the smell of beautiful roses was breath taking, I was so glad that I had my camera on me and took a photo from where I was standing!
I know a cemetery is not the kind a place you should take pictures, but my reason was two-fold, firstly the beauty took my breath away, and secondly as my brother lives in Spain he has never seen dad's rose bush in bloom so I thought it would look lovely to have a photo with dads cards and in bloom and send it over to him.
The cemetery in question is the Putney Vale Cemetery, and its truly the most amazing one I have ever stepped foot in, I know they are sad places and not a place to talk about, but these things I take notice of as Dad was a grounds keeper for another cemetery and was a keen photographer, so both of these in mind I pick up the beauty in the strangest of places, this place is slap bang on the A3 and if anyone knows the A3 its a busy road, but when your in there it all pales out, you cant really hear it, its amazing.
Anyway, I have taken some lovely photos of my trip there but again did not have the time to upload, so when I get home tonight I shall upload a few of this photos into a slideshow.
I feel I have waffled on for long enough, so for now ttfn xxxxxxxx
