Are you looking for a really fun Halloween craft? Well look no farther because we have a special treat for you with our Halloween Spider CD Scrapbook made with recycled CDs, pipe cleaners, scrapbook paper, ribbons, and our digital dye cuts from our Halloween collection.
This was so much fun and the kids enjoyed it too.
Ready to make your own?
7 CDs
Duck Tape
2 Hair Twangers or 8″ of Elastic
4 Black pipe Cleaners
Buttons (to loop elastic fasteners around and add spider spots)
Assorted Scrapbook Papers and Ribbons
Washi Tape
Hot Glue Gun
1/8″ Pop Dots or Dimensional Tape
Adhesives (Tape Runner or Glue Stick)
Halloween Mini Digital Clip Art CLICK HERE or pictures below to purchase and print immediately 🙂
STEP ONE: Place CDs 1/4″ apart and join with piece of duck tape. Flip over and place another piece of duck tape on the back. Join six CDs. You could choose more or less, just use an even number.
Fold up CDs like an accordion and make sure it opens on the left side (this is the back). Cut a four inch piece of elastic or cut a hair twanger, fold in 1/2 and then hot glue or duck tape it on right side of top CD with 1/2″ of loop sticking out beyond the CDs.
VARIATION OPTION: If you would like your CD Scrapbook to be more like a traditional book and not open like an accordion, you can place a piece of duck tape on the left side with half on the front and half on the back.
I made my CD mini album with an accordion fold so I repeated the step above on the left side.
STEP THREE: Take four black pipe cleaners and twist together in the middle. Then adhere them in the middle of the left CD.
STEP FOUR: Using hot glue, adhere a CD directly on top of pipe cleaners. Place washi tape, or you could use duck tape, around the edge of the two CDs "sandwiching" the pipe cleaners to give it a more finished look.
STEP FIVE: Now the really fun part…Jazzing up your album…
Trace a CD on decorative paper and then cut out just a little inside of your traced line. Cut 12 circles.
Add pictures, ribbons, and Halloween embellishments to create your one of a kind Spider Album!
STEP SIX : To finish it up, decorate the front of your album. Slightly bend pipe cleaners to form spider legs.
Take a small button and glue to a slightly larger button, so that the elastic closures can slip around it and stay secure when album is shut. Make two of these. and then glue to the front of your album on the right and left sides. Once glue has cooled, wrap elastic loops from back sides of album over the layered buttons to close.
Ok…now repeat steps above and make another one! This is a wonderful gift with photos or create one that the lucky recipient can add their own!
Thanks for crating with me, do come again 🙂

I really like this girl but she has had casual sex with quite a few men that I know and apparently she's terrible in bed and she can't seem to keep a man. Now I don't have casual sex, so i am not being a hypocrite but I feel bad about judging her but I just can't be with a girl like this because it worries me how I'll be seen by other people. I am concerned that I will look bad dating her.

Same goes with casual sex.10|10|0
Casual sex is disgusting
- Show AllShow Less
Her having a casual sex doesn't have to do anything with her personality. You're going over-board now with judging. It's really not cool. I mean I get that you have your own preferences and I don't judge you, just be patient and wait for the girl that's right for you, she does exist. But don't go around trash-talking someone just because they are having casual sex. It's really low. Just sayin.
I don't even speak to her, I see her looking at me and I look away. I'm not going to shame her, she's a nice woman, I wish her the best. I'm just angry that she feels like she has a shot with me.
Most Helpful Guy
Just because your buddy is telling you this stuff doesn't make it true. Maybe he liked her and she screwed him over somehow so he's saying she's a slut and sucks in bed.
You can't take gossip as gospel. If she seems like a good person and you think she is cool give it a shot, what do you have to lose. I wouldn't make my decisions about someone based off of rumors personally.00|00|0
I want to give her the benefit of a doubt but I'm not sure that I can.
Yeah its all personal preference. If I think a girl is cool and we get along I'm not going to let what she has done in her past reflect on what she does now. There's too many possibilities, you can't just think of the bad ones, she might be trying to change her ways.
I don't want to be a Guinea pig for her social experiment.

I'm facing a really weird struggle lately. All these wonderful things are happening to the people around me. They're getting promotions, having weddings, welcoming babies, or achieving some other milestone that interrupts their life. But… I don't know how to be happy for them.
I'm 27 now. In the past 2 years, I've gotten married, had a baby, received a huge promotion & raise, started meditating, renovated my house, paid off some debts, and hit several other small milestones. I think because I now know for myself how much those events interrupt my life, I feel like I can't properly celebrate them for anyone else. In other words, I am now too excited for them.
At work, my husband is responsible for readying junior salespeople for a role in the field. He literally measures success by the number of promotions. Yet, every time another person gets promoted, I an nearly in tears with excitement for them. I want to send them a gift basket, I say. He says no, that's overkill.
My dad recently proposed. I think about it every day. I know that he and his fiance both are still celebrating, and I asked everyone around me to help me continue celebrating their engagement for a few more weeks until they started wedding planning, and I feel guilty still today that I didn't do a better job (I sucked at 2016 though)
These are just two examples. This same struggle happens when my friend tells me she's changing her diet. Or when my brother adopts a puppy. Or basically any time I get an update from someone in my life, regardless of how close I am to them.
How should I express happiness for them?
If I make a gift, is it creepy? Or maybe they want to hear that I am almost as excited as they are? This is a sincere struggle for me! I am working through it in baby steps, and I welcome feedback. So far, I've worked out that being too excited for someone can't be a bad thing. It's like the saying "I'd rather be the one that smiled than the one who didn't smile back."
I have also committed to myself to continue working at it in order to achieve the best balance between acknowledgement and over the top. It is important to me to impart sincere excitement, and I'll figure out how to do that.
Again, though, if you know how… tell me.

Christopher Poole, the 23-year-old founder of 4Chan (where the internet begins and ends, so to speak), better known to most people as Moot, launched his new site, Canvas, today for 4,000 early users, according to TechCrunch.
So what's Canvas? Like 4chan it's a place for people to post content and start a discussion. It has distinct similarities to 4chan – although content is archived, and people create accounts. But users stay totally anonymous. Their profile page is nothing more than a gathering of the various content they've added to the site.Canvas is starting just with images. Like Dailybooth users upload a picture and a discussion starts. Dailybooth, though is mostly about people uploading pictures of themselves. Lots and lots and lots of pictures of themselves. On Canvas, there's a lot of photoshopping going on, and some of it is highly entertaining.
It doesn't seem like much, but my guess is this will be a much more attractive place for advertisers and investors than 4Chan ever will. It'll be interesting to watch how Canvas develops and what sort of community springs from its genesis.

According to the Amendments made to the Constitution of the Republic of China 中華民國憲法增修條文, the President and Vice President of ROC is to be elected directly by citizens over 20 years of age of the free area of the ROC*, and has been so since 1996, when the 9th-term President and Vice President were elected. (Prior to 1996, the President and the Vice President were elected by the National Assembly 國民大會. Read Government of Taiwan 101.)
The Presidential and Vice Presidential Election and Recall Act 總統副總統選舉罷免法 states that to be a candidate of the election, one has to have lived in the free area of the ROC for at least 6 consecutive months, has set his/her domicile 戶籍 in the ROC for not less than 15 years, is at least 40 years old, and has to be a nature ROC citizen (cannot be restored citizenship, naturalized citizenship). To apply for candidateship, one could either be recommended by a major political party 政黨推薦, or by joint signature from electors 公民連署. A major political party is one that has won at least 5% of the total effective ballots from a latest Presidential and Vice Presidential or Legislative Election. The number of signatures required for joint signature is 1.5% of the total electors in the latest Legislative Election (257,695 signatures for this election), which has to be collected in 45 days. For more information on elections in Taiwan, visit the Central Election Committee 中央選舉委員會.
*According to the Constitution, ROC's territory technically still includes areas under PRC's control and Mongolia, and only the National Assembly, which has been abolished, has to power to alter it. Relevant election laws thus state the islands of Taiwan 臺灣, the Penghu islands 澎湖, Kinmen 金門, and Matsu 馬祖 as the free area of the ROC 中華民國自由地區, and the population in which shall elect the President.
**After the streamlining of the provincial government, its administration had been headed by a 9-member council led by a chairman, all appointed by the Executive Yuan 行政院. As the provincial government possesses limit functions and power, the chairperson appointed is usually also a minister without portfolio of the Executive Yuan 行政院政務委員.
Update (12/1/2011): Three presidential election debates 總統大選辯論 will be held and broadcast live on TV in Taiwan and for the first time, online through the PTS New Network and 2012electiontw YouTube channel (debate will be in Mandarin Chinese) as part of a collaboration between 6 major Taiwanese media. All three pairs of candidates (see below) will be participating. The schedules for the debates are as follow (all times are Taiwan time UTC+8):
12/3 first debate between presidential candidates (View HERE)
12/10 debate between vice presidential candidates (View HERE)
12/17 second debate between presidential candidates (View HERE)

Title: God Save the Queen
Author: Kate Locke
Genre: Steampunk/Urban Fantasy
Series: The Immortal Empire (Book 1)
Publication Date: July 3, 2012

Queen Victoria rules with an immortal fist.
The undead matriarch of a Britain where the Aristocracy is made up of werewolves and vampires, where goblins live underground and mothers know better than to let their children out after dark. A world where being nobility means being infected with the Plague (side-effects include undeath), Hysteria is the popular affliction of the day, and leeches are considered a delicacy. And a world where technology lives side by side with magic. The year is 2012 and Pax Britannia still reigns.
Xandra Vardan is a member of the elite Royal Guard, and it is her duty to protect the Aristocracy. But when her sister goes missing, Xandra will set out on a path that undermines everything she believed in and uncover a conspiracy that threatens to topple the empire. And she is the key-the prize in a very dangerous struggle.
Quick & Dirty: Good start to a new series with superior worldbuilding and a heroine that is only worried about her own kickbuttness that she can come off foul-mouthed and brash.
Opening Sentence: I hate goblins.
Excerpt: Yes
The Review:
Alexandra Vardan is a Halvie, half vampire/half human and she has a hate for many things. She hates goblins ever since she was attacked as a child plus goblins love to eat meat (humans/halvies/vampires/werewolves). She hates Bedlam asylum because that is where her mother died when she was young and most especially she hates humans, they want nothing more than to see her kind dead. Unfortunately for her she will have to deal with at least two of those things as the book progresses. God Save the Queen opens with Xandra in the tunnels under London looking for the Goblin Prince. The goblins know everything and so she seeks their knowledge. Her sister Dede has disappeared and she needs to know what has happened to her. She finds out that her sister has been arrested and taken to Bedlam. Everything would be so much better if her family would tell her these things, then she wouldn't have had to risk her life in the goblin tunnels.
Xandra wants to get Dede out of Bedlam. She tries to come up with a plan to get her out but is then hit with shocking news: Her sister is dead. Xandra refuses to believe the news as she undertakes a personal mission to discover the truth about her sister and Bedlam. But her mission discovers more of the truth about herself and her people, Halvies, that just blows her world apart, everything that she has been taught are lies. While all of this is happening, she begins to develop a relationship with an aristocrat werewolf, Vex MacLaughlin.
God Save the Queen has a lot of worldbuilding. While fantastic and entertaining as the book goes on, it is a little overwhelming at first. The Plague has created supernaturals as a side effect. Pure supernaturals are called Aristocrats, they hold titles and power. The Queen of England, Victoria, is a vampire. Aristocrats have very low birth rates and some of them have paid courtesans into being birth mothers. Many Halvies are born this way, but Goblins are a dangerous side effect which is another complication of how the Plague has developed and passed down through the years. This paragraph cannot do justice for how complicated this Plague is, thankfully, there is a glossary at the end of the book that explains how everything works.
Xandra is a tough, foulmouthed, kick butt character. She is often impetuous and hot-headed. She is also very stubborn which puts her in the position she is in, having to decide what is true or not. As a Royal Guard she is tasked with protecting Aristocrats with her life. It is one of the things she most values in her life and she has trained hard to be as tough as she can. She was at the top of her class. She values her teacher Church (otherwise known as Churchill) and the lessons he has taught her. She also really loves her family even though they are only related by one parent's blood. God Save the Queen is told entirely from Xandra's point of view.
God Save the Queen is classified as a steampunk/urban fantasy. Since London has been ruled for so long under Queen Victoria a lot of the technology has stayed industrial. A lot of the Aristocrats still drive using horse and carriage but other technology has advanced as well. The clothing and vehicles are pretty much the only thing that really comes off as steampunk. I would have loved to see more of this technology integrated into the story, especially the dirigibles. Although, once again there is a glossary at the back of the book that defines the technology and some of the British terms.
Overall, God Save the Queen was a satisfactory read. It took me a little bit to understand the Aristocracy/Halvie/Plague as it stood in the storyline but once I did, the last half of the book rushed by. Now that the world has been established, I would like to see where the next book takes Xandra and the revelations that she has uncovered.
Notable Scene:
I met his gaze evenly. He looked genuinely concerned and I felt like a cad for lying to him. I wanted to tell him how sorry I was. "They were, thank you. Sir, I . . ." I heard something that drew my attention, smelled something that brought my fangs out fast and hard – fear.
I whirled around. The orchestra still played, the dancers continued to dance. Conversation buzzed around us, but my attention went immediately to the one thing that didn't belong.
Up on the balcony. A human with a rifle – pointed at the Queen.
"Gun!" I yelled, my voice seeming to reverberate around me. As I leapt forward, I was aware of several things at once: the music screeching to a halt, the discharge of the rifle, screams, and how sweet that human bastard smelled.
How the bloody hell could I smell him from where I was?
I moved faster than I ever had before – or at least I seemed to. One moment I was beside Church; the next I crashed to the floor, my shoulder exploding with pain as I took the Queen with me.
I sucked in air, forced myself to reach for the Bulldog hidden in my bustle. Hot blood ran down my left arm. I'd been shot. Damnation, it hurt. Felt like my shoulder was on fire. My head and stomach churned in opposite rotations.
Tetracycline. Fang me, there was tetracycline in the bullet. And the bullet was silver. It had gone straight through – luckily for me. It still hurt like hell.
"Your Majesty, are you all right?" I demanded, positioning myself so I wouldn't drip blood on her. Plague me, even my eyes burned.
"Quite," she replied, looking both shocked and relieved. "Young lady, you are most extraordinary."

The Internet … way forward?
A big question … however … we may need to ask ourselves … what is the future of The Internet?
While physical meetings/group discussions such as this are important and would probably continue to be important, the Internet is making people located in long distances apart to hold meetings/discussions. It's just amazing.
The last fifty (50) years ever since the Internet accidently became a reality have seen huge technological miracles come true. The knowledge is simply overwhelming. And when you think of mobility of information … you just wonder which way our world is heading to. While 'the digital divide' seemed to leave behind certain groups of people under the sun, particularly in Africa, technological innovations are steadly finding affordable solutions to bridging the gap – through cheap mobile phones that can also be charged by solar energy. So, what is waiting to happen is simply the physical transformation of 'human beings' into digital waves such that upon pressing a certain button one is already in a distant location. This sounds like impossible … I'm sure some hidden laws of physics are just there to be discovered and make this matter come true. And … that time isn't too far away!

Hi Angela,
I had the most amazing and inspiring time with you, I can't believe I was so nervous and you just relaxed me instantly. Your intuition and understanding of my situation was just spot on and I must admit I had a bit of a cry when I got back in the car – it was a positive one!
I would love to be able to help you in anyway with you being an Ambassador for Depression so please let me know if I can ever help. Thanks Jo, Christchurch

"Thank you Angela for being our guest speaker at Merivale Mall's iconic Spring Fashion Show 2016. Your support and sparkle made the evening a huge success."
Mia Brown, Account Director – Hound & Steed Creative Agency, Christchurch.
21 May 2016
Hi Angela,
I just wanted to say a big thank you for the stylists course and introducing me to some great people.
I have felt so enthused about my future.
I have been to see Leigh and now have veneers on my front teeth, what a difference, and so many positive comments.
I am under nova nutrition care and am slowly changing to healthy eating.
Yesterday I went to see Melissa at You Travel, she was great and is doing up a few suggested travel routes for me and is happy to share my Vietnam Trip info on their website.
I have got my business cards printed and my website up and running
I am now going to promote the styling and see where that leads. Have been buying up fashion magazines and learning all I can.
Once again THANK YOU, life is looking pretty good again and so much is happening.
Looking forward to watching you on Housewives of Auckland.
Cheers Katharine
Angela and her team of stylists did a fantastic job at The Plaza's 4 day event; The most Fashionable Weekend Out. Their professionalism and personable manner helped to make the event a sell out success.
Jessica Till – Marketing Manager of The Plaza, Palmerston North
Dear Angela
I really want to thank you so so much for your part in the evening.
You are such a professional and an inspiration to women – the girls were in awe of you and you made some fabulous comments to them about being role models not only netballers. And the great thing is we all had so much fun.
Best Wishes

"I wanted to have a revamp of myself as I felt I was going a little stale with how I looked and what I was wearing. After reading Angela's website, I contacted her to arrange a wardrobe styling session. Angela went right through my wardrobe and as it turned out, I didn't need any additional clothes, I had it all there. I simply needed new ideas on how to put different combinations together. Angela was quickly in tune with what my 'style' is and the new combinations reflect this.
What I liked most about Angela was her honesty. She was frank and open that I should revamp my hairstyle and make-up to keep in tune with my style. She assessed my body shape, confirming what I knew already, that I could do with some work in certain areas! Surprisingly, I am now drinking green tea and being better with what I eat.
I am looking forward to having Angela assist me with my next shopping trip. The cost of using a consultant can be a little daunting, but I've weighed this up against purchasing a couple of 'wrong' outfits versus coming home with a fabulous wardrobe that makes you feel great."
Thank you Angela Stone for my fabulous styling session on Wednesday. I learnt so much about my body shape, colours, accessories, hair etc. Your knowledge and energy levels are amazing. I feel on top of the world thanks to you!
Hi Angela,
Just thought I'd drop you a note to thank you for the amazing course over the last few days. As I'm sure you are aware you really have made an impact on my life already and I hope to start my stylist career very soon and use the knowledge you have taught me.
I look forward to staying in touch and hope to get together again when your in Auckland.
Kind Regards,
"Clothes fill closets in my home but I was often missing that 'piece' that would pull it all together. My husband gifted me the perfect solution-a few hours with Angela. I have always loved fashion, but I have wanted lately to clarify my style, polish my look, and focus my wardrobe, taking it to the next level. Angela was exactly what I needed! She showed me the colours I should be gravitating toward, identified gaps in my wardrobe, helped me cull unnecessary items, and choose some key and versatile new pieces with such decisiveness, grace and flare. She shared her knowledge of current fashion and the key local retailers to check out. It was such a fun and productive day with this vivacious and perceptive woman and my expectations were far exceeded. I am so looking forward to my follow up consultation!"
"I have a lot of clothes, love shopping and buying them but somehow I'd lost my way in terms of what to choose, what suited me and how to dress for my age. Since the earthquakes, I think the dress code in the workplace in Christchurch has lapsed and I for one had certainly got lazy. I contacted Angela and, from the moment I opened the door, I knew she was exactly what I was looking for. Angela offered me practical and sensible advice about the gaps in my wardrobe and where to shop in Christchurch to find those items – I didn't need to spend a small fortune to get the bits I needed. I had a couple of 'wow' moments when she showed me how to wear some of the clothes I have and I now have the confidence to wear them in a way that suits me. The best part was showing my husband the 'new me : new hair do, new style, a bit of make-up and oozing confidence'. Angela was the inspiration I needed and I can't thank her enough.
Dear Angela,
I just wanted to take the time to thank you for your wonderful Corporate Imaging presentation last week. Speaking on behalf of myself and the staff, I can say that we all learnt so much and everyone had a lot of fun- whether they were modeling or watching from the audience. One week on and the results are visibly noticeable- gone are the pony tails and tiger stripes – The ladies all have their hair impeccably groomed from front Office right through to Housekeeping, the males are looking very smart and it is obvious that everyone is taking great pride in personal presentation. The day after your workshop we had a 'Trial Run' where we invited people to come and stay and try out facilities prior to officially opening. Many of the comments I received and over heard from these guests were that the staff looked impeccably groomed and looked as though they were wearing their uniforms with pride which I think is thanks to you! So once again thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge with us, I would most definitely recommend you to anyone!
Kind regards,
I have known Angela Stone for many years, since she first began modeling and followed her career as a Stylist and Show Coordinator. Angela has a lovely warm personality, and always relates well to others she works with. She is extremely well organised with the ability to pull events together, taking responsibility for all aspects to make it as seamless as possible for her clients. I have found her totally reliable, dedicated to whatever task and extremely professional in her approach. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any coordinating position for which she may apply.
Angela is a woman with a clear purpose in mind. She possesses a vast practical knowledge of styling and personal branding that even the simplest of us can apply with little effort and cost. Her passion to help people become far more confident in who they are is very genuine and a rare trait. Angela has a unique knack of helping people venture out from their normal styling comfort zones which she does with much empathy and enthusiasm. Her creativity and ability to give you styling ideas is both simple and powerful all at the time. You are guaranteed to love what she does.
Good morning Angela,
Thank you for your email and I loved your presentation (we all did) – it generated good conversation that night at dinner. And Trish that you accessorised with the belt and jewellery (we all loved the teal flower), came down the next morning with neat black trousers (straight leg), a lovely tailored light grey jacket with black top underneath, longer style necklace and her earrings were the 'pop' of colour. As usual, time was too short and we could have sat there all night listening to you but all good things must come to an end and I hope that you had a good flight back to Chch that evening. Thank you SO much again for making the effort to be with us.
Hi Angela,
Thanks so much for your valuable time and effort to make our Westpac Women in Business event such a huge success last night. Your professionalism and organisation skills was evident with the smooth way in which the evening unfolded. Let me know when you're free and we'll catch up for a coffee before Xmas.
Thanks again.
Hi AngelaCongrats on the fantastic events you organised for this year's Cup Week! It was just wonderful to see so many entrants and of such a high standard! I spent quite some time watching the Fashion in the Field and thought it ran very smoothly and held the crowds attention really well!Once again – well done! And thanks for your help! Kind regards, Angela Bennett
Dear Angela, thank you for presenting to our young netballers. You were inspirational, dynamic and full of "attitude" Kind regards Marg Foster.
Hi Angela,Thank you so much for your inspiring talk to our support group.As soon as I got home and showed my new top to my son (12) he said I looked very lean.The next day I wore it and defined my eyebrows as you suggested and he commented I looked too glamourous to be his mum.Lynne is going to arrange a party soon which I am really looking forward to. I have been stuck in a rut for years and getting cancer made it worse but now I feel inspired. Thanks, Jane
Hi Angela
We all enjoyed the meeting you and thank you for coming and sharing your knowledge and aspects of your life – I know the last year has been life changing for me and although it is a bit "cliched" life is so much richer now and living in the present means so much more (not always easy!). Connecting to others in the New Beginnings group and ladies I have met who have been through or are currently going through this diagnosis creates a kind of connection as we know the reality of how it feels. All the best – hope we meet up again. Kind regards, Julie
Dear Ms. Stone, Thank you so much for providing such a fantastic day yesterday doing work experience with you. Both as a person and a business woman you have truly inspired me. You were extremely kind and offered me terrific career advice which I took to heart and appreciate. Yesterday has definitely increased my interest and drive in pursuing a career in fashion.I hope to keep in contact with you and look forward to seeing you again in the future. Regards, Bridie

Dear Ange,
As you know the Emergency Care Foundation recently held their latest fund raising initiative in the stables at Addington Raceway. The evening was a huge success and the Foundation wanted to express their thanks once again to you for providing an Ultimate Style Makeover. Information about the prices was sent to over 200 people that attended the event. It was greatly appreciated and very popular.
Without the support of local businesses the Foundation would be unable to continue to improve emergency care through education, innovation and research.
Kind regards,
Angela Collins
Dear Angela,

Many thanks for a wonderful night last night. Our members are so thrilled with your presentation, we really must organise a night for the new year. I will also look at having a staff night to take advantage of your personal advice for each of us.
We will promote your business in the club, I feel that our members would love to be involved in your future promotions.
Kindest regards
Anna L. King
Dear Angela
Although I have spoken to you personally and congratulated yourself and team on a great night last night, I did want to formalize my thanks to you in an email.
This was my first time participating in such a prestigious event. Potentially daunting, as I felt I was the "middle person between the designer, the compare (yourself) the models(actually artists) and the audience.
I received such great help from the models who were amazing, wanting to make sure they honored each designer by wearing the clothes the "right way." Under such pressurized and confined conditions, they achieved an awesome result.
Thank you again, and I include Kate in this, for having the confidence in me to play , albeit a small part in the scheme of things. That I have kept with me the nice afterglow of an assignment well done, speaks volumes for how I was supported..
Kind regards
Sandra d Moore
Hi Angela,
Just wanted to say well done on a great show last thursday at the Cathedral.
I really enjoyed doing the show, thanks again.
I was wondering when or if it will be televised on CTV. Would love to see it.
Kind Regards,
Morning Ange,
It was our pleasure we all had fun on the day, the show looked great you must of been really pleased with the result.
speak soon
Dear Angela
We would like to thank you so much for helping to make our 4th Christchurch Supper Club 2009 such a fabulous event last week.
We are delighted to announce that over $42,000 was raised for the House!! – this is an incredible amount, and we could not have achieved this without the support of the community. Please be reminded that 100% of these funds come directly to operating the House.
Your generous donation of time for the beauty package sold for $1,000 – fantastic!! This equates to over approximately 7 nights of accommodation for a family staying in our House.
Warm regards
Sharon and the fundraising team
Hi Angela
Sorry for the delay in replying things have been a little hectic. My wardrobe is going well I've had some very positive comments so thats been nice. I have given my old clothes away so I am feeling really good about the whole experience.
Thank you for the time you spent with me I learned so much that I will never forget.
Dear Angela
It is difficult to escape a connection with cancer. Almost all of us have known a friend, family member, or co-worker whose life has been affected by it. It steals our youngest and brightest, our fittest and our elderly, and it makes no allowance for wealth, status or fame.
Your sontinued support of the Cancer Society's Emerald Dream Ball means the Cancer Society is able to continue to deliver our programmes and services in the community. Those programmes are provided free to those people living with cancer and from them and their families I say thank you.
I am sure that you will agree that the 20th anniversary of the Cancer Society Ball was celebrated in style, and we have received some wonderful feedback from guests who attended. The auction was also a highlight for us raising a significant amount on the evening. Please also pass on our grateful thanks to Mods Hair Salon and Nicola Quinn Beauty. The lucky bidder for your wonderful item was Justine Lill and I am sure she will be in touch with you soon to organise her special day.
Once again thank you for your continued support and commitment for our work.
With your help there is hope.
Kind regards,
Jane Sheriff
To Anyone Wanting Style Help.
I thought I was pretty clued up on what looked right on me and what colours to wear. But after years of trying different things and going through personal growth it is immensely hard to separate yourself from yourself so to speak. I really needed that. I had a huge wardrobe of interesting things but would always declare with despair that I had nothing to wear. After a huge cull out and only a hand full of basic purchases, that is now no longer the case.
Angela Stone was fun and diplomatic to work with. She efficiently went through my entire wardrobe. It was liberating to have her throw my things to the bin with conviction but at the same time relish in the good things she found there. The money I have invested in having Angela over is well worth it in the savings I will make in the future through buying the right things and avoiding the things I used to throw money away on. Since my wardrobe 'Make-over' I have had many compliments from both my husband and my friends on my outfits. I have rediscovered elements of myself in the garments I had relegated to the back and I feel so much better for it. The colour consultation was great too, so quick and obvious. I don't know why had let trends drag me into some of the colours I had in my wardrobe.
I have recouped some of my investment in the session already by selling some of my things on Trade Me and swapping some more for (of all things) a Skill Saw and a bottle of wine!!
I am an average woman, wife and mother and feel that this kind of is often seen as a rich person's privilege. However, it is not! I have used my new knowledge at the second hand store down the road with great results. I will keep a mental tally of what I save and put it towards a couple of the basic items Angela sells.
Being conscious of my pennies, I worried that my session would not provide me with value for money. But let me tell you; Angela works fast and has an air of absolute confidence and enthusiasm for what she is doing which made my time with her both incredibly productive and an absolute pleasure. I totally recommend her services to anyone.
You will love the session and you will use her advice for life.
Yours sincerely
Dale Hartley-Brown

Dear Angela,
My name is Diane, and I was at the Celebration Centre yesterday, with my sister, Melanie, who very kindly invited me along to come and see you, and am I so glad she did. I thought you were absolutely wonderful. I admired your ability to tell us the most appropriate way of dressing for our body type, without hurting our feelings. And you were kind and non judgmental which I, as a sensitive being, as many of us are, really appreciated. When you were speaking to us you said something about needing others to help with consulting. I would like to know what I need to do to become a consultant. I seem to be good at knowing what suits other people, but I need to be trained to do this. If you could let me know, that would be great.
I look forward to hearing from you soon and thank you.
With kind regards,
Thanks for giving me so much of your time yesterday. It was, as always, great working with you. I love the fact that you know body shape and modeling so well and feel we are very lucky to have your expertise in Christchurch.

Angela Stone was contracted by Millennium Hotel Christchurch to carry out a Grooming Workshop for all our front line staff earlier in the year.
The objective was to educate and inspire the team to a '5 Star' standard, so very important in our business, with the content covering various aspects of their appearance, such as how to wear their uniform, hair and beauty, decorum and demeanour.
Angela is not only extremely knowledgeable in this field, she is able to communicate the message effectively and with confidence, inspiring the team to excellence. We considered the workshop a success and have every intention of repeating this training regularly.
If you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

It has taken me a few days to get online but I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed last Friday. It was just fantastic and has given me so many new and exciting ideas!
I am so pleased that my hubby phoned you and as you know I was completely blown away with the gift. To have my colours done was awesome – didn't know I could include them in my wardrobe.
You do a wonderful job Angela and I wish you all the best.
Many Thanks for your encouragement too.

Hi Angela
Just wanted to thank you again for last Wednesday. Even though I was WAY out of my comfort zone I had a great time. Andrew loved all the clothes and even told me to go and buy the expensive boots! I had my black dress on yesterday and loved it. I have been out shopping since and felt much more confident – I have now got the bug! My friends and family have all admired my new clothes, which feels great – my sister-in-law is especially inspired – you may even get a call from her.
Take care and thanks again

Hi Angela
Just a quick email to thank you very much for the shopping experience this morning. I came home and looked at my purchases and have been playing dress ups ever since. I am thrilled to say that with the 2 pairs of jeans and the 3 singlets most of the items in my wardrobe will now be able to be worn. I think after I find some shoes and a necklace to match my gorgeous new dress I will be pretty much maxed out for a while but will look forward to having a try on in Ballantynes with you in a few months – I really appreciate your offer of adding a few extra minutes next time.
Trust you had an enjoyable day shopping with your other clients amongst the craziness!
Esther Pearce
To the STUNNING and LOVELY Angela
Just an email to thank you for contributing to a huge success on Saturday, it was wonderful to have you there. A highlight for me was your presentation!
Hope to catch up with you somtime in the future.
Kind regards
Hi Angela,
Thanks so much for your time. I had an absolute blast and learnt so
much from you in such a short space of time. It is definitely money well spent
and while many people would probably say they would never do it, they don't
know what they are missing. The feelings of knowing you look good and can
put an outfit together and have it work from head to toe is amazing.
I will definitely be doing this again come summer but probably to a lesser extent
due to having pieces that will transition the seasons.
I worked it all out and the money side of it probably is equal to the amount
I would have spent over six months on wasted outfits and things that end up being thrown out because they don't look right.
I have sent your payment through tonight and look forward to enjoying my
look and catching up later in the year to attack summer!!!!
Hi Angela
Many thanks for your presentation last night, it was well received by everyone that attended and was the hop topic of conversation when everyone arrived at work this morning. We have already 10 of us that are booking into "FACE" for some makeup advice and others other shopping for singlet tops etc.
I was going to collate a list of e-mail addresses for you, but thought the easiest way would be for you to send the e-mail to me and I can just forward on. I know there are a lot of keen people.
Once again, many thanks and no doubt we will be in contact
Kind regards
We train young adults in the area of customer services and a part of this training involves personal presentation.

"Good morning Angela
I wanted to extend my sincerest gratitude for last night. I know Tia, Andrea and myself have received so much information and help from you that it is going to have a very positive and life changing effect on all of us.
I have come in to work today, as suggested by you, with some high pointy black shoes, my black and white skirt, tailored black jacket (without the kitten pulls (shame on me – I'm so embarrassed about that) ), and my hair pulled round in a side ponytail – I feel FABULOUS!!
Thank you for your suggestions, honesty, and constructive criticism and tips to make me feel taller and slimmer. I have struggled for the past couple of years with weight gain after a huge personal loss and want to get back to feeling confident and "alive". This I am sure will start to change now that I have had some positive guidance from yourself.
I do hope that we will meet again and perhaps even go shopping!
You are a true inspiration."
With kind regards
"Angela Stone recently ran a 'Dress to Impress' session for students at Lincoln University to assist them in their transition to the workforce.
She delivered an inspiring and informative session packed with practical tips for students heading to interviews and embarking on their careers.
Thanks Angela! We look forward to having you back on campus again next year."
Michelle Ash
"Hi Angela
A huge thankyou for your work last night in speaking at our 'Dress to Impress' Function for the Canterbury Westland Branch of the New Zealand Institute of Legal Executives.
Using Jacqui as a model was fantastic and the difference in the 'before' photos and what she looked like after having her makeup and hair done and the clothes you selected for her to wear was just 'Sensational'.
The people who attended the evening were extremely impressed and everyone made a point of saying how much they enjoyed the evening and were so pleased they had come.
We are sure Judy, the lucky winner of the 'free one hour consultation with you' will enjoy her prize immensely.
Once again, we cannot say a big enough thankyou for such a great evening.
We will have no hesitation in suggesting to friends and work colleagues that they contact you for a consultation or to arrange an evening similar."
Kindest Regards
Jill O'Neill/Kate Doolan
"Angela Stone put together a great range of clothes from Ballantynes for the 2005 Ballantynes Canterbury Flames netball team to parade at this year's Launch of the National Bank Cup Campaign at Christchurch Casino.

"Thank you so much for that enlightening hour you spent with us this morning. I'm sure you may hear from some of our people in the near future. Your presentation was excellent. Best wishes for the future."

"I want to give thanks to you and your advice, expertise and vision. After one morning spent with you, my self-esteem and personality have blossomed. I can feel it in the way people treat me and also how I treat myself. I wanted to express this to you, as I would be willing to emphasise my satisfaction to others. I am a very satisfied and happy customer, who is looking forward to seeing you very soon!"
Satisfied customer – (Requested that her details are not published)
With very many thank yous for a wonderful evening.
The feedback was so positive.
Your vitality, energy, enthusiasm/passion for style was an inspiration.
Warmest regards for a wonderful future.
To whom it may concern
I employed Angela Stone recently to give advice to my staff on grooming and presentation tips.
She told each of them in turn how important their appearance was in retail sales and how they could improve themselves. She did this skillfully without causing offence and in an encouraging way. The staff started off shy and reticent but quickly asked Angela questions about certain aspects of their appearance that concerned them. I commend Angela on her direct but delicate approach and true professionalism.
Angela worked to the brief I gave her, within a sensible budget and was flexible with her approach to the presentation. Her words of wisdom showed what an expert she is in dress standards and wardrobing and she certainly has lifted the standard of dress for my staff and given them plenty to think about before they leave home for work every day. She has an eye for detail which obviously draws from her wide experience in the modeling field and is accurate with the areas they work to improve on.
I couldn't recommend her highly enough for anyone who employs front line people and whose image is an important part of their life, business or both."
Yours sincerely,
Carolyn Oakley-Brown

I wanted to get back to you to mention I think it only makes sense that Tony & Guy would want you! You know about fashion and style for supporting an image that matches how people feel about themselves and how they want to feel out in the world. That means your job is ultimately about people being deeply happy. How amazing!
I'm lucky to have met you.
See you sometime soon,

SHAFAQNA – Imam Sadeq (AS) was asked: Is the liar the one who lies about a thing? Imam (AS) replied: No, the liar is the one who is addicted to lying [1]. In another narration, Imam Baqer (AS) narrated from his father Imam Sajjad (AS) who used to tell his children: Avoid any small or big lies, jokingly and seriously because if a human being tells a small lie, will be encouraged to tell big lies, and then will lie continuously until God registers his/her name as the liar [2]. It is also narrated from Imam Ali (AS) who said: No servant of God will taste belief until he/she abandons lies, jokingly and seriously [3].
