Directed by: Jahnna Beecham
Felix Unger – A fussy man who knows that he is difficult to live with but cannot—or will not—make any concessions or compromises. His wife, unwilling to continue their marriage, asks him to leave the family despite his suicide threat, and he then moves in with Oscar. Made comical by his exaggerated behavior, Felix is persuaded by the end of the play to live temporarily with the Pigeon sisters, who pity him, but it is probable that they too will find him exasperating.
Gwendolyn Pigeon – Oscar and Felix's giggly upstairs neighbor, one of a pair of English sisters. She is a widow.
Cecily Pigeon – Oscar and Felix's giggly upstairs neighbor, one of a pair of English sisters. She is a divorcée.
Speed – One of Oscar and Felix's poker buddies. Gruff and sarcastic, often picking on Vinnie and Murray.
Murray – A NYPD policeman, one of Oscar and Felix's poker buddies.

So this semester proved to be extremely boring- no scrubbing hands to death to get rid of the coating of super-duper glue, no screaming at a stupid computer that keeps getting stuck in a middle of a project, and not a single drop of artsy-farsty goodness. Instead, it was just staring with complete and utter exasperation at a fan overhead as an English professor who does not speak English taught the students that using "so" before a word automatically deems it good, and listening to some ass with a patch on his shoulder toss around very sexist comments.
Yet, as they say in Arabic, "il-7aq yoqal" (the truth has to be spoken), and Military Science didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would. They had some interesting classes in "Selselet Mo7adarat il 3oloom il 3askareyeh" (the starting sentence of my morning, every single day, for the past 6 weeks), and they even got a hottie pilot who was the centerpoint of overheard conversations in the girls' part of stadium for weeks to come. Yet, notice in the picture above that the class is spent doing homework for other classes (look at the girls with the calculators), or in my case, catching up on my reading.
The real bummer of the summer and the star of the show was the "advanced" writing class, mainly spent talking about why you can never say "I were there" and how you cannot capitalize randomly. It's amusing that these students are actually specializing in English and yet they do not know the simplest rules of the English language. Admittedly, I'm the kind of student who's a pain in the ass, but this course was so stupid and so unchallenging that I decided that staring at a fan every day for an hour is more rewarding. But seriously, look at the below sentence that was marked wrong. Ok, I was wrong with the number, but I know my sentence is correct.
Needless to say, even with the excess of syntax lessons in a writing class, I still do not have the slightest idea what a future perfect continuous verb is and I still cannot differentiate between the passive and the active voice, just like I don't know the multiplication table and how I can't tell a maf3ool from a maf3ool behi.
So there we go, and with a week-and-a-bit left for the summer semester to show us its lovely backside as it walks out the door, I'm getting excited about the next year- my final year at the UofJ.
15 more credit-hours divided over two semesters, compared to the 19++ credit-hours I had to take in each term last year. Five classes ALL from our department, namely "Dance and Rhythm" (a dancing class, in JU, as a department requirement, are we awesome or what?), "Modern Art Theories", "Post Modern Art", "Islamic Aesthetics", and "Computer Design 2". One graduation project to go with exact professor I wanted for an advisor. Life should be good next year.
Man… this is proving to be a long post and I hate writing long posts cause I have a hard time reading other people's long posts. Has this been hard to read?

The Balenciaga Dress
Cristobal Balenciaga was a Spanish Basque fashion designer and founder of the Balenciaga fashion house. With a reputation for uncompromising standards, he demonstrated his exceptional artistry with his ability to design, cut and sew the models manually - one of only a handful of couturiers in fashion history with this ability. A highly inventive creator, he contributed immensely to reinterpreting the conventional female silhouette by broadening the shoulders and removing the waist and producing iconic sculptural masterworks of 1950's haute couture.
Cristobal Balenciaga, Collectionneur de Modes Exhibition
The exhibition was held in Paris in 2012 by the Museé Galleria at the Cité de la Mode et du Design and comprised more than seventy historical garments and costumes from Balenciaga's personal collection of inspirational pieces, including forty haute couture dresses and coats. It was an exploration of both his passion for historical garments as well as a reflection of his impact, notably his interpretation of traditional Spanish folklore, his use of black and somber colors, the purity of religious and ceremonial clothing and references to the grandmasters of Spanish painting.
Balenciaga's Influence
Cristobal Balenciaga is one of ERRE's key design influencers. It is his influence that inspires much of ERRE's signature structured draping. A picture of a dress from his 1964 haute couture collection in the Collectionneaur de Modes exhibition that Natasha took and that became the mainstay of a sixty-garment collection she designed while studying in Paris at the time, is affectionately known as an ERRE obsession. Each season we revisit the picture and experiment anew with some of her original ideas to create something uniquely ERRE.
Visually, the beauty and simplicity of the drape expresses an understated yet "intelligent" elegance, while technically the genius of the construction explores the new shapes and proportions that defined this golden era of couture. Its elegant simplicity deceptively hides how immensely challenging it is to construct a drape that twists around panels and the experimentation that is required to establish which panels would need to be extended to achieve this effortless fluidity.
The mystery would be solved if you could take the dress apart to see how the pattern works. However, in reassembling it, you would need an unwavering grasp of the interlocking stages of the construction process. This would require years of experience combined with a deep understanding of how individual flat shapes can be assembled to form a three-dimensional whole.
This dress epitomises the ERRE signature philosophy in many ways - a design from the 1950's where the appeal lies in the simplicity, wearability and, mostly, the elegant power it exudes.
The cut, proportions and draping of this dress has become a thread throughout our work. It can be seen directly in the draping of one of our jersey dresses as well our drape knit top, while indirectly, it reappears in combination with other couture images, African hairstyles and headdresses, as an influence in all the collection's coats.
The draping in the Balenciaga dress is deceptively simple, however with a designer's keen eye, it shows his skill for draping on a mannequin and his ability to visualise and manipulate a flat piece of fabric into a three-dimensional object that can fit the body.
The Influence of 1950's Couture on the ERRE signature
The proportions. The construction. The cut.
We passionately emulate the construction and pattern-drafting that the haute couture garments of the 1950's emphasised, in our own design process. It is in the way a pocket on a couture jacket fits when perfectly tailored in wool. Or how a collar is shaped to appear a little too big in proportion to the rest of the garment.
Design and construction features like these are absent in the world of fast fashion. But for us it is this that represents the best of what fashion design is capable of and demonstrate what can only be achieved by human skill.
We love what we do at ERRE. We love the craft behind it and creating things by hand. Design is all about the technical challenges and experimenting with techniques both new and old.
Examples of our experimentation with similar ideas are:

Library History
The Clarence Library was organized in 1940 with the town council levying 1/4 mil tax in 1941. At this time the library was located in the Town Hall. In 1951 the Edna Zybell Estate made her home available to be used as a library. The home was remodeled to also include an apartment for the librarian. Another remodel took place in 1994 to improve handicapped accessibility. As needs for additional space for the collection, programs, meetings and technology grew a Library Building Committee was formed. This committee has been busy making plans and raising funds to build the first new library in Clarence. We hope this goal will be completed in 2015. The existing building will be demolished and the new, larger facility will take its place.
The library has continued to improve its collection, programs and services and is now certified by Iowa Library Services. The library offers free public computers and free WiFi to the community. In July 2007, the collection was totally automated with almost 9,000 items on record including books, audiobooks, and DVDs. In 1998 we received our first large print books. Approximately 400 individuals and families hold patron cards.
The library has continued to serve as a repository for printed historical materials. To assist with providing access to these materials, the Friends of the Zybell Library raised money to purchase a microviewer to view newspapers on film.
A focal point in the children's room is a mural painted by Jen VanOort.
Librarians who have been employed by the Library Board since it has been at its present locations include Lois Brink, Wanda MacIntosh, Eleanor Stonerook, Deb Minar, Kim Butler, Karla Tenley, Sandi Brunscheen, and currently Tami Finley. Present members of the Library Board, are Karla Tenley, Sue Elijah, Jamie Wilhau, John Dayton and Molly Hansen. Everyone is excited to be a part of the library and look forward to its continued growth.

・・・ The Rolex Milgauss has evolved over time from the original Milgauss Ref 6541 to the special Anniversary Green Crystal Reference 116400 GV. The name "Milgauss" is derived from the French mille for 1000 and gauss for the measurement. This special Rolex watch was designed to be highly resistant to magnetic fields up to 1,000 gauss. This makes the Rolex Milgauss the perfect type of watch for those working near strong magnetic fields, including engineers, scientists and doctors.

I love to lift weights to help strengthen myself, get myself physically fit, and increase my build. I workout every morning before school and do push ups every night to keep myself in shape. Lately I haven't because of a shoulder dislocation, but I will definitely get back when I'm cleared. Lifting will make me feel good about myself and feel happier. It can boost my self esteem and overall muscle, which will improve my overall feel and look of my body.VIEW MORE
Netflix is just a place where I can relax and watch tons of movies. I love to watch superhero movies and TV shows, criminal investigation shows, and comedy movies and shows. These can be The Flash, Arrow, Criminal Minds, Law and Order SVU, The Office, and more. I also love to just chill with my family and watch movies while we eat and talk about our day.VIEW MORE
I've had so many memories and experiences with fishing trips that it is almost a necessity I need in my life. My dad and I love to fish together as it gives us time to have fun, relax, spend time with each other, reconnect, or even just talk. Fishing is also fun as it is not just the memories you make with it, but the experience itself. Fishing is intense as you anxiously wait every second for that one bite to hit your line. Once it does, it's a fight and only one can win; you or the fish. It is so satisfying to pull in a fish and fishing will just make you proud and feel good about yourself.VIEW MORE
Photography is just another way that I can fully show and express the raw emotion and energy around us. The world is a beautiful and incredible place. Many don't fully see it or anything past what they want to see and that is an absolute travesty to me. I want to show the beauty of a sunrise, the power of striking waves as they crash into the shore, or even just the bond between 2 friends together. Life is a powerful experience and no one should miss the opportunity to see it. It will be my job to make sure that they can experience the awesomeness of life.VIEW MORE
I have 3 dogs and I love them all. I have a Great Dane (Hannah), Great Dane/Lab (Hercules), and an Australian Shepard (Cocoa). Hercules and Cocoa are the most active who will play, "go get the ball and hide it"; we don't play fetch. But all three will definitely love to just lay with my family in the living room and watch over us while we leave the couch for 5 minutes. Dogs can always be there for you as they are loyal, dependable, always happy to see you, and can just be a whole lot of fun. To this day, I've never had a day where my dogs disappoint in what they do and how they do it. Dogs can just make you smile and feel good about yourself.VIEW MORE
Music; whether listening or playing it, has helped me through a lot of rough times in my life. Music allows me to express my emotions and energy in a way that I can freely flow what i'm thinking into the minds of others. When I listen to music, it helps calm me down, push me through things, and it even helps me sleep. I like almost every type of music there is (except country). I listen to music when I clean, workout, do homework, and honestly any task i'm assigned.VIEW MORE
Video games are one of my favorite hobbies to do on my free-time. They help me relax, focus, and all in all are fun! I first started with a Gamecube given to me by my parents on my birthday when I was 9 years old. I played on that system all the time with my dad and we still play games together. I play with my friends from school and love every second of each games story, outline, characters, and just gameplay effects. They are fun to play, especially with friends, and I'll probably always play them!VIEW MORE
I love to build projects and create new things off the top of my head. My grandpa and I get plans and build projects together and we do so many, that we've lost track of how many we've done. Whether it's building a chair for a deck or re-roofing a house, I love working with my hands and testing my creativity.VIEW MORE
Sports have given me extreme heights in my life. I love to play almost every sport created! I have been on teams for football, basketball, baseball, tennis, and soccer. Sports let me express my competitive spirit and help me strive to be the best I can be. I love to show people what I can do, but aside from that, sports are just flat out fun!VIEW MORE
I have been playing trumpet since 4th grade, and I've loved every minute of it. I play in the Parkview Band and I'm one of the section leaders for the trumpet section. The trumpet is very difficult to play if done improperly, so I like to play it to challenge myself every day. I plan to use my musical skill level with trumpet to take me on a scholarship to college. After college I want to play as a commercial player for a side job.VIEW MORE

Pre-Service Prayer
Each week 30mins before the start of each individual service our prayer team is available to pray and agree with you in Jesus Name.
We look forward to Sunday's as the most exciting day, because this is when we get to express to our Father how much we love Him through open worship and celebration.
Because we don't believe in ever putting God in a box, no service is ever the same at TORCC NY. In fact, every time we try to put Him in our box…He smashes our box to pieces with the invasion of His person and Glory.
If your looking to meet with Jesus like never before, then we encourage you to come along to our Sunday Services and experience a power packed encounter and refreshing. We have two service times to meet the needs of our members and visitors. Each service is designed differently with a unique approach to lead you into a deeper personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Each week 30mins before the start of each individual service our prayer team is available to pray and agree with you in Jesus Name.
At each of our services we make personal ministry available after the service. Visitors, members, and guests can receive prayer, prophecy, and encouragement.
During this time members can share what God is doing in their lives and therefore stir others to faith to believe in His Goodness, Grace, and Glory!
The reach of our ministry is now growing more and more with new technology. If you are unable to attend, or if you are outside of our area, please feel free to tune into our online stream.

Most days you can find Jaiden playing with this dump trucks and wearing his muck boots; which he likes to call his 'stinky boots'. He loads up sand, mulch or whatever else he can get his hands on and drives it all over and more recently into the sunflower field. The changing leaves and the sunflowers are really awesome right now. It doesn't last long, so I'm trying to soak up every little bit of fall beauty.
^^ pretty nice view from our living room window, wouldn't you say?!^^

Sox pluck Fister off waivers, sign Peralta
BOSTON -- The Red Sox added depth at two positions on Friday, acquiring right-hander Doug Fister off waivers from the Angels and signing veteran infielder Jhonny Peralta to a Minor League deal.
Fister will jump right into the rotation and start Sunday's game against the Angels.View Full Game Coverage
BOSTON -- The Red Sox added depth at two positions on Friday, acquiring right-hander Doug Fister off waivers from the Angels and signing veteran infielder Jhonny Peralta to a Minor League deal.
Fister will jump right into the rotation and start Sunday's game against the Angels.View Full Game Coverage
Peralta will report to Triple-A Pawtucket and could eventually offer some help at third base, a position the Red Sox have struggled to get production at all season.
Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski is familiar with both players, having also acquired them during his time with the Detroit Tigers.
Dombrowski had made a run at Fister earlier this season when he was a free agent, but the Angels were able to strike a deal with him first. Fister hasn't pitched in the Major Leagues yet this season, but he went 1-0 with a 4.02 ERA in three starts for Triple-A Salt Lake.
Fister will fill the fifth spot in the rotation, which has been a revolving door this season due to injuries. Fister will take the spot of Hector Velazquez, who has made two starts for Boston this season.
"One of our scouts, Eddie Bane, had seen him pitch before, recommended him, and felt he could pitch in the starting rotation at the Major League level," said Dombrowski. "We scouted by video his last outing. He became available, they decided not to add him to their Major League 25-man roster and we were in a position where we claimed him on the release waivers."
Once Eduardo Rodriguez (right knee subluxation) is ready to be activated at some point in the coming weeks, Fister could slide to the bullpen.
"A chance to add a proven Major League pitcher with a lot of experience," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "A guy that we've gotten solid reports on with his recent starts while in Salt Lake City. I think more than anything, a guy that we can add some depth in the event that something unforeseen happens again from an injury standpoint."
Pitching for the Astros in 2016, Fister made 32 starts. He went 12-13 with a 4.64 ERA and 115 strikeouts in 180 1/3 innings. Fister's best season was '14 with the Nationals, when he went 16-6 with a 2.41 ERA.
Fister, an eight-year Major League veteran, and Peralta both played on the 2013 Tigers team that lost in six games to the Red Sox in the American League Championship Series. Red Sox righty Rick Porcello was also on that team.
Peralta was designated for assignment by the Cardinals on June 9 after posting a .204/.259/.204 slash line with no homers or RBIs in 58 plate appearances.
"We thought it was a nice fit for us," said Dombrowski. "He had other opportunities to go to places, but I talked to Jhonny -- and also, we go back -- and I thought that in our situation with Jhonny, he had a real good spring. Really didn't play very much in the beginning of the year, had some injuries. We had some mixed reports on him during the season, regular season. We felt it was an opportunity to go to Triple-A, take a look at him."
Pablo Sandoval was expected to be Boston's starting third baseman this season, but he has struggled with offense, defense and health and is on the disabled list for the second time this season. Josh Rutledge and Deven Marrero have recently been sharing time at third.
Peralta is a three-time All-Star, most recently in 2015, when he had 17 homers and 71 RBIs with the Cardinals.

One of the biggest trends we saw this week was gold. Gold can be striking, dramatic, bold and elegant but anything that flattens your breasts and sends them south, east and west at the same time is not a good thing. Another thing to watch out for is straps that cut into your back. This is not about curvy versus skinny, fashion is all about great cuts that suit your body and accentuate your assets. Unfortunately for Christina this is just one of the many times she got it wrong.
Here is one way NOT to wear the trend.

Mary Kingsley
Mary Henrietta Kingsley (October 13, 1862 – June 3, 1900) was an English writer and explorer who greatly influenced European ideas about Africa and African people.
Kingsley was born in Islington. She was the daughter of George Kingsley (himself a travel writer) and Mary Bailey, and the niece of Charles Kingsley. Her father was a doctor and worked for George Herbert, 13th Earl of Pembroke. Her mother was an invalid and Mary was expected to stay at home and look after her. Mary had little formal schooling but she did have access to her father's large library and loved to hear her father's stories of foreign countries.
Her father died in February 1892. Her mother also died just five weeks later. Freed from her family responsibilities, and with an income of Ł500 a year, Mary was now able to travel. Mary decided to visit Africa to collect the material she would need to finish off a book that her father had started on the culture of the people of Africa.
Mary arrived in Luanda in Angola in August 1893. She lived with local people who taught her necessary skills for surviving in the African jungles, and often went into dangerous areas alone.
She returned to Africa in 1895 in order to study cannibal tribes. She traveled by canoe up the Ogowe River where she collected specimens of previously unknown fish. After meeting the
Kingsley wrote two books about her experiences: Travels in West Africa (1897), which was an immediate best-seller, and West African Studies (1899).
During the Second Boer War, Kingsley volunteered as a nurse. She died of typhoid at Simon's Town, where she was treating Boer prisoners. In accordance with her wishes, she was buried at sea.
Gender and race
Studying Kingsley is an interesting way to study the way women were expected to behave in Victorian era United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the British Empire. Kingsley believed that she was inherently inferior to the "superior sex", but that she was superior to native races:
"I...feel certain that a black man is no more an undeveloped white man than a woman is an undeveloped man. The difference in the comparative level of the black and the white is very much the same as between women and men among ourselves. A great woman, mentally or physically, will excel an indifferent man, but no woman has ever equalled a really great man."
Source: Dea (1992) p. 69
It is believed that Kingsley used her travel as a way to escape the confines of Victorian Britain, and to assume the status of the imperial ruler. However, through meeting African peoples, she believed it wrong to interfere with their lifestyle, and to try to 'civilise' them:
"I do not believe the African to be brutal, degraded, or cruel. I know from wide experience with him that he is often grateful and faithful... [he is] by no means the drunken idiot... [that] the Protestant missionaries are anxious... to make him out."

ICO: Tax ruling from Zug tax authorities obtained
Prior to an ICO of one of our clients we have obtained a leading tax ruling related to the taxation of the proceeds from the ICO. In a nutshell, the respective proceeds will not be subject to corporate income tax in Switzerland. Instead, the client will be taxed on a cost plus 5% basis in the next few years, i.e. during the development phase.
This procedure will most likely turn out to be the model taxation for most of the ICOs we will see in Switzerland in the next few months.
The VISCHER team was led by Christoph Niederer and Dr. Jana Essebier (both Partner).

OK…maybe more of an obsession not only with giving the gift, but I really enjoy making things for the little babies! Most of the time I try to go with gifts that will be something that the baby will grow into or grow with (like plush blocks, softies, etc.) This time I went with a mix of future and now. I stepped out of my comfort zone to make some things for the soon to be arrival of my friend's baby girl. (As an added bonus, I got my mom in on the crocheting side of things since I have yet to figure that one out!)
For the booties I used this pattern from The Purl Bee. It is really one of my favorite patterns to knit up. The pom-pom hat was a pattern I found on-line here. It was fairly quick to knit up and I think in the future I would use softer yarn maybe… My mom made the little cap and it was a really quick project although I am not sure if the sizing was working out quite right, but it sooo very cute in person! The pattern is found here.
To complete this little gift, I bought some white onesies and added a little cross stitch to them. It was fun to see them stitch up. The patterns are from various sets of The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery patterns. (the deer are from the Woodland Sampler, the ballet slippers from the 12 Days of Christmas, and the aloha girl from The Summer Sampler) This is the first time I used water soluble cross stitch canvas. It was an interesting experience. (*I will get up a tutorial for these later this week!)

Museums across Wales are getting ready to celebrate and promote Wales' outstanding cultural offer at the second Welsh Museums Festival from 24 October – 1 November. Over 100 events and exhibitions will be on offer for the whole family from sleepovers, talks, walks, hunts and handling sessions to archaeologist digs, re-enactments, dressing up, tea parties and Halloween themed activities.
Supporting the Festival is TV Presenter and Wildlife Expert Iolo Williams – "I am delighted to be supporting the Welsh Museums Festival. As a four-year-old child, I remember staring in awe at the skeleton of a woolly mammoth and even now, I am amazed by the wealth of items held by our museums. With almost a hundred accredited museums all over the country caring for around 5.5 million items, no matter what your interests, there are treasures waiting to be discovered by the whole family."
Come along to Big Pit and have a 'hoot' with us making crafty owls and animal species which you might find on the nearby Coity Tip, plus other autumn-themed crafts. Kathryn Jenkins, Communications Officer at Big Pit said" The Coity Tip was created during the working life of Big Pit and its predecessor the Coity Pit. Tips such as these were once a familiar site in industrial communities and altered the landscape and environment forever. When the tipping stopped, nature began to gradually reclaim the tip and surrounding area, which is now rich with plant and animal species"
The crafts workshops will be running from Monday 26 October until Friday 30 October, 12pm-4pm and cost £1 per child.
The Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism, Ken Skates, commented, "We have some fantastic museums across Wales, filled with fascinating items that help tell the story of our past. They are a valuable resource in helping us to learn about and understand important historical events in a way that books alone cannot. The Welsh Museums Festival will give visitors more opportunities to discover and be inspired by the unique collections, and I am pleased to see a range of events being held both in and around Communities First areas, ensuring there are opportunities for all to participate in a range of exciting experiences."
Rachel Silverson, President of The Federation of Museums and Art Galleries of Wales added, "We are thrilled to be involved in the Festival once again as it offers an opportunity for our members to promote their museums and to be proud of the work that they do. At a time when museums need support from their communities, we hope that more people will be amazed by all that Welsh museums have to offer. "

I have seen many fine examples of altered book sculptures. The pictures further down on this page represent my first attempt.
I made the project below to enter in a contest at Scrap Arts, my local scrapbook store. The contest terms stated we were to create a work of altered art, using Stella Ruby papers from Basic Grey.
Proect's front view
Book sculpture, spine view
One old book, fairly thick
Clay flower pot
Paper, two sheets, each different but coordinating
Golden Acrylic White Gesso
(Another brand of gesso would do just as well)
Flowers from the Dollar Store
Gold Pen or Gold Stickers for edging
Glue for adhering the pages together (I used
Aleene's Tacky Glue
Glue for attaching the decorative papers (I used
Plaid Mod Podge matte
Craft knife or box cutter
Sandpaper (optional)
Foam brush or other brush to apply the gesso
Clamp to hold the book shut during cutting (optional)
1. Draw a rectangle on the top of your book, centering it or positioning as desired.
2. Clamp your book together to hold during cutting.
3. Using the craft knife and using the drawn rectangle as a guide, cut a "hole" in the book, going through the cover and extending about half way down through the book. Remove the rectangular portions of the pages that you have cut out. This can be quite a chore.
4. Sand around the inside of the hole, aiming to create even, tidy sides and corners.
5. Using the Aleene's Tacky Glue or any economical glue, paste the pages together as much as you can. You do not need to glue every page together -- just aim at smearing the glue on many pages so you end up with several blocks of glued together pages. I suggest using an economical glue like Aleene's Tacky Glue because for this project, you do not have to worry about warped pages.
6. Allow the glue to dry. This can take a few days.
7. When dry, paint the entire book with white gesso. I suggest gesso because it provides more adhesion for the edges than you would get with white paint. After covering everything with gesso, your book will be a solid block.
8. Decorate the book sculpture using the two papers and adhering with Mod Podge or other good quality adhesive. Refer to the picture as guide, or use your own design.
8. Go around the edges of the cut rectangle and the cover edges with a gold pen or gold stickers. I used stickers.
1. Paint the flower pot with white gesso
2. Trim with punched shapes or shapes cut from the colored papers.
3. Add flowers
1. Glue the flower pot in the hole in the book
2. Add flowers
3. Glue one leaf or flower petal across the book's spine
I'm thinking you could also omit the flower pot and adhere a photograph in the book sculpture's "hole". It would be quite a nice photo frame -- and you could display the coordinating flower pot beside it if desired.
I'm not even sure that "book sculpture" is the correct term for this project. I didn't know what else to call it.

What Story is Your House Telling?
Whether you are trying to sell your home or just looking to spruce up the exterior, there are plenty of ways to boost the appeal of your home. Below are 5 easy ways American Perma-Coat Painting can help you personalize the exterior and increase the curb appeal of your home:
1) Color and Composition.
Color can play a big role in the curb appeal of your home. You could choose calming colors such as earthy browns, taupes, or greens. You can make a big statement and go with bold blues, reds, yellows or deep grays. The color of your home should portray the story you want to tell. Important things to keep in mind when choosing your color: the style and age of your home, current landscaping, and the color of your roof. Also, check with your homes association before you make your final color selection to see if there are any restrictions in the bylaws.
2) Front Door.
Your front door is the focal point of your home. Choose a rich hue that complements the color of your home. You can even pick an unexpected color to really make a statement! No color is off limits: red, yellow, robin's egg blue, even orange or the perfect shade of eggplant. Whatever color you choose, it should be the perfect accent to the story of your home.
And don't forget the garage door. If your garage doors share a prominent place on the front of your home, consider updating the door to accentuate the style of your home. You can choose a different shade for the color, add special hardware or choose a beautiful stained wood door for a special touch.
3) Shutters.
Completely transform the look of your home by installing shudders. Shudders can either be functional or just for decorative purposes. They also give you a great opportunity to incorporate an accent color to your exterior paint scheme.
4) Update your exterior trim.
Another easy way to freshen up the exterior of your home is painting the trim. You can choose to just put a fresh coat of the current color, or you can create a whole new look by choosing a bold color. Painting the trim around the windows can add depth to your color scheme and set your home apart from the others in your neighborhood.
5) Refinish the porch floor.
Front porches can be very inviting. If your porch has had better days, breathe new life into this area by refinishing the floor and ceiling of the porch. The floor can either be painted in a beautiful accent color or the wood can be stained with a durable finish. Another unexpected touch is painting the porch ceiling! A soothing blue porch ceiling isn't just for those who live in the south anymore!
Picking the Right Interior Color
But that's not the color I picked!" This lament is voiced all too often by Topeka, KS homeowners about the paint colors which were selected from a color card chip in the paint store. After the paint dries on the wall, they are sometimes faced with disappointment.
American Perma-Coat Painting recommends a simple remedy to this common problem: switch on the lights and look at the color under the actual lighting in which it will appear.
We strongly advise checking and selecting color under the right light to avoid disappointment. If color choice is critical, color selection should be made under the actual lighting conditions of the space to be painted.
Not all artificial light is the same, and various types of lighting have differing effects on paint color. Incandescent or LED lighting, most often found in residential settings, provides a totally different lighting environment to flourenscent lighting, normally found in commercial space. Special effect lighting, such as spot or track lighting very often distorts color. Even daylight can change the paint color, depending on the time of day.
Here are some tips on selecting the right color under various lighting conditions:
White and off-whites are the safest colors to use; they distort less under various types of light. Pale shades also do not undergo much change under different types of light and tend to remain true. However, both whites and pales have a tendency to reflect other colors. For example, a customer who had her entire living room painted in Linen White, insisted the walls were blue. The blue tone, in fact, was a reflection of the robin's egg wall-to-wall carpeting throughout the room.
Color should not be checked in an empty room. Since objects absorb and reflect color in different ways, color on the walls and ceiling very often becomes subdued and undergoes change by a room's furnishings.
If you do view a just-painted empty room, try to determine exactly how much of the wall surface will be visible after furnishings are reassembled in the space.
When using dramatic, daring colors, experiment first. Paint a sheet of poster board large enough to provide a true color reading and view it on the surface, under the lighting conditions for that space.
Color behaves entirely differently on a ceiling surface than on a wall surface. In most homes, the surface is being lit from below by floor lamps. Incandescent light reflected up to a ceiling makes the color on the ceiling appear much richer since the surface is reflecting light. If no light is hitting the ceiling, The colors will appear much darker and deeper. For example, a red ceiling when lit with incandescent lighting will turn to orange.
The gray-green family of color, including taupe, khaki, putty, sage and the historical colors are chameleon-like and will dramatically change under different lighting conditions, including daylight.
The look of a room can be intentionally altered with lights. Consider using atmospheric or mood lighting. A romantic look in the bedroom or dining room can be achieved by using pink bulbs. However, special lighting is usually not welcome in the bathroom/powder room when a true light is required for make-up and shaving. Also, avoid blue and green lighting in all rooms since they distort all colors.
While gloss levels can add richness and depth to color, the lighting under which they appear must be taken into consideration. Gloss levels of paint will impact on how color appears in certain light. The higher the gloss level, the higher the light reflectance, which means -- in simple terms -- more light will bounce off a wall painted with a high gloss finish than a flat finish.
Wash lighting will accentuate certain colors, making them richer. Placing recessed lighting fixtures in positions which wash over a wall will create light and shadow which add drama and depth to the surface while a spotlight, focusing on a fixed point on the surface, will create a hot spot and distort color.
Contact American Perma-Coat for further information and assistance on selecting the right paint color under various lighting conditions!
Exterior Wood Rot - Fix it Now!
One of the most common structural problems we encounter in Topeka and Lawrence is exterior wood rot. Even for homes built with aluminum or vinyl siding, or all brick homes, there are many components of the exterior structure that are made of wood. Window and door moulding, trim work, fascia and soffit are typically made of wood.
All of these items are particularly vulnerable to weather extremes and water. When exterior wood damage is left unchecked, it can lead to higher heating and air conditioning bills, termite infestation and a decrease in home value. Also, it is a lot easier to repair some minor damage than to wait until there is a serious problem, which may require major replacement work. Let's go through some details that can help you avoid any big problems down the road.
Fancy names, but it's just exterior trim...
First, what exactly are the surfaces we're talking about? If you look at the exterior windows and doors on your house, they all have wood trim around them. The tricky part is that what you see is only part of the trim – the outermost layers are typically decorative mouldings. Underneath, more framing exists to hold the window or door in place. Catching a wood rot problem early often means we can fix just the outer moulding.
The fascia includes the horizontal boards that connect the bottoms of the roof rafters. The fascia provides stability to the structure and is often used to support the gutter system. The soffit is the finished layer covering the fascia. We usually consider this part of the structure the "eave" of the house.
Bugs, water and weather - watch out!
All of these areas are susceptible to water and weather damage. As exterior paint wears and weathers, small cracks may appear. Water can (and will) seep into the tiniest of these cracks. As the water sits on the wood surface it will not only saturate the wood, but can also grow mold and attract insects to the softened wood. Winter time makes the problem even worse. If water gets into small cracks in exterior wood surfaces and freezes, the expanding and contracting of freezing and thawing water can wreak havoc on the trim work. Often time, problems that are small and unnoticeable in the Fall emerge as major issues in the Spring.
Get it fixed now, before it gets bad...
In order to protect your home from wood rot and all of the associated problems, you can do a simple inspection to identify any problem areas. First, walk around your house and visually inspect all windows, doors and soffit. Keep an eye out for small insect holes, out-of-place soffit vents and cracks. If you have a two story home, you can perform this visual inspection from the ground. If you decide to use a ladder, be sure to follow all precautions associated with safe ladder use. Make a note of any areas you see that look like they may not be structurally sound. Second, you can use your fingers or a blunt object to check the density of the wood. Wood that is has water damage or wood rot will be much softer than normal. Being careful not to damage good wood, press on any suspected areas – if the area feels spongy or soft, there could be an underlying problem. Often times, we see trim work that looks okay at first glance, but will fall apart just by being touched.
American Perma-Coat Painting can handle any exterior painting. Before every job we fully inspect all of the surfaces to ensure structural integrity. If any wood needs repair or replacing, our team of skilled carpenters will handle the work before painting, and you can expect nothing but the highest quality work.
As a child, garage doors seemed almost magical. My brother and I would watch from the backseat as our parents pushed a tiny button and abracadabra! The garage door of our home would rise, signaling that we were finally home. Now that we are all grown up and homeowners ourselves, we hardly notice our garage doors and we certainly do not consider them magical. We expect them to go up, come down and keep the leaves out... and if the battery in our remote needs to be replaced? Well, we tend to get a little grouchy.
Even though they are no longer amazing, our garage doors are always working for us, and when it comes to your Topeka curb appeal, they are carrying some serious weight. When planning a cohesive look for your home's exterior paint colors, you may have stopped to wonder: What am I supposed to do with my garage door?
If you stand in need of painting tips for your garage door, then buckle up! Today we are giving a free crash course in exactly that.
Exterior Paint Basics, The 3 Components
For starters, it helps to have a basic understanding of how exterior color schemes work. There are three basic components in play: your siding, your trim and your accents, which are typically your doors and shutters. As a rule, you want to play up the positive and interesting architectural features of your home and blend in, or downplay the mundane or negative aspects such as your gutters.
White and Bright
If you are working with white trim, you cannot go wrong with a crisp white garage door. Choosing white for your garage will help it blend in with your other exterior paint colors, giving you a fool-proof curb appeal with no regrets. If you still find yourself looking for a bit of visual interest for your garage, install a hardware kit to give it that carriage door look.
Natural Wood
Is your home blessed with a real-wood garage door? If so, using a natural wood stain instead of exterior paint will skyrocket your curb appeal. Wood or even faux-wood steel garage doors are both timeless and trendy and add an air of elegance to your home's exterior.
Black and Classy
Black. It's classy for a dress and the same goes for your garage door. Using black, beige or gray can add a bit of contrast against your trim. When correctly chosen, these exterior paint colors pair well with both natural brick and vinyl siding.
Color Happy
If you feel like incorporating color, you are in good company, there is a growing trend of homeowners using paint colors such as navy, dark green or aqua on their garage doors. If feeling led in this direction, it is a good idea to go online and use a color scheme visualizer to test out your ideas before implementation.
If you are struggling with your exterior color scheme or vexed on how to use paint colors to your home's advantage, our paint color experts can help. Give us a call. Our professional painters can help with your project from color selection to power washing, leaving you with cohesive curb appeal you will look forward to coming home to.
Exterior paint that is chipping, fading, and cracking needs to be re-painted. Exposed wood and wood rot are also signs that it's time for exterior house painting. Small issues can easily become large ones if things like wood rot aren't addressed promptly.
Exterior painting can be daunting, but it needs to be done approximately every five to ten years. With the crazy Midwest weather we have here in Topeka and Lawrence, routine maintenance is also important. Here are a few questions to use as a guide for determining when an exterior house painting job is needed:
Maintain the Exterior
One of the simplest, most important ways to extend the life of your home's exterior paint is to address problems as they occur. A little scraping, caulking, or sanding and re-painting a small area may be all that's needed for annual maintenance. In the same way, addressing minor wood rot when it first starts to happen can prevent larger problems down the road.
Tips for a Long-lasting Exterior Paint Job
When getting estimates from professional painters, keep in mind that paying less is almost never a good thing. Make sure to get a detailed quote that includes proper surface preparation. A paint job that is done without keen attention to prep and other important details can look good for a few years but will ultimately cost you more in the long run. From preparing the wood to choosing the kind of paint to use, every step of the process can be what lengthens or shortens the life of your home's exterior paint job.

Peak painting season for all professional painters is March through October. A common mistake many people make when deciding to paint their home and hire a professional painter, is to provide an adequate time frame for the paint job from start to finish.
Much like any other form of remodeling, when you hire a professional painter you need to allow adequate time for the painter to come to your home an do an estimate, before any painting work begins and then for the painter to put you on the painting schedule.
Most reputable painters are usually booked up during this time of year. So a good rule of thumb is 6 to 8 weeks in advance during the peak painting seasons of March through October. As a reminder don't expect to call a reputable house painter on Monday and expect to have your paint job finished on Friday!
If you are planning an exterior or interior painting project, call American Perma-Coat Painting now to schedule a time for our skilled estimators to meet with you at your home to give you a free estimate.

Repairing Water-Damaged Drywall
Nothing causes homeowner anxiety quite as much as water damage. Whether it is a large, unexpected flood or a slow leak over time, water issues can wreak havoc on the walls of your Topeka or Lawrence home.
American Perma-Coat Painting is here for you in your water damage distress. Our professional painters are expertly trained not only for a quality paint job but for drywall repair as well. We can come in, give you an estimate and have your walls back to normal in no time. Underneath a fresh coat of wall paint, the damage will be expertly repaired and quickly become a distant memory.
Below are answers to a few basic questions we receive when it comes to repairing water-damaged drywall.
What Do I Do First?
First, you get in touch with a professional. Repairing water damage is not something you want to attempt on your own. When you call American Perma-Coat, one of our professional estimators will come to your home for an estimate and discuss your needs as well as the project's timeline. They will make sure the leak has stopped and call in a plumber if necessary so that your new drywall will not see further damage. Next, they will check with you about your vision for the damaged room; will you want to match your existing paint colors or change wall paint completely? Whatever your needs, they will work around your schedule so that you experience minimal interruption to your daily routine.
How Long Will This Take?
The scale of the project will vary greatly depending on how much damage your drywall has sustained. Minor damage will be scraped away and filled with joint compound whereas major damage will need to be cut out and patched with new drywall, drywall tape and joint compound. The less damage to your walls, the less time the repairs will take.
Will I Be Able To Tell?
No. We use only the best tools and techniques and will patch and sand until the seams or damage blends completely in with rest of the drywall. Once the damage is repaired, it will be time to select new paint colors or match the existing paint job. If your home has damaged trim, our professional painters can replace that as well, ensuring that the walls of your home look even better than they did before.
What About the Mess?
Our team cleans up after themselves on a regular basis as well as a final deep clean of the workspace before completing the job.
We sincerely hope you never need us to come over and repair water damaged walls, but know that if the need arises, we are trained and ready to make your home right again. If you are having trouble with water damage or are simply looking for a fresh coat of paint, schedule an estimate with our American Perma-Coat team today. We are trained and ready to repair and refresh your home inside and out and look forward to hearing from you.
There are a lot of reasons for painting your home, and one of them includes putting the house on the resale market. If you want to make sure your house sells quickly, taking the time to "stage" it by painting it may help tremendously.
Painting is one of the cost-effective ways to enhance the look and feel of your home as well as improve its curb appeal. Apart from beautifying your home, painting will also help increase your home's resale value. Renovating your home for resale purposes doesn't have to involve modifying its structure like adding space to your kitchen.
Here are some of the ways to increase the resale value of your home:
1. Repair and re-paint your home's external surface
The potential buyer won't bother to check the interior of your home if they don't find its outside appearance appealing. The interior may look beautiful, but they won't take the time to see it. Properties that are old, dilapidated or unsightly will surely turn off any potential buyer. A fresh coat of paint can make your home look fresh again. If you wish to paint with different colors, you may choose hues that can harmonize with the neighborhood. Or you may want to choose a bold accent color to set your home apart from the others.
Check the exterior surfaces to see if they have suffered any damage such as peeling or flaking paint, mold, cracks, holes, rusting from the fixtures, or impact from fallen limbs from trees. Remember that good cleaning and prepping on the surface is the key to a good paint job.
2. Painting and remodeling your kitchen
One of the reasons why certain houses sell so quickly is that their kitchens have been remodeled and updated with a coat of paint.
The kitchen is possibly the most popular communal room for renovations. Not only it is place where food is prepared, the kitchen also makes the perfect bonding place for friends and families. As said before, painting is the most cost-effective way of enhancing the look and feel of your home. Painting the kitchen, if done properly, will give back more for your expenses and labor. The walls and cabinets are the most popular areas in the kitchen for painting. When painting the kitchen make sure that you use paints with sheen -- they are resistant to dirt, oil and grime, making them easier to clean.
Popular colors in the kitchen are neutral (white, beige, gray, some shades of brown), but red, yellow and green are also popular. You may also mix and match any of these colors but be careful with the color choice for your kitchen or the colors may turn off potential buyers.
3. Painting interior walls
Since homeowners have little idea about the potential buyers' preference, many of them think that it is best to paint the interior walls with the safest colors -- neutral colors like white or beige. Some homeowners, on the other hand, think that white is plain, boring and cold, and so they insist on bringing more exciting colors to the surface.
However, it is important to be careful with the choice of colors for your interior walls. Colors that are plain give potential buyers an opportunity to liven up the space by adding their own furniture, fixtures, paint colors of their own choice, etc. Loud or bold colors can hinder potential customers from buying the house. So if you're using color, make sure that all the colors blend well together and are able to match the other design elements of your home. Adding visual interest such as accent walls and some art can be also be a good idea. if you're unsure, contact a painting professional or your real estate agent.
4. Sprucing up the bathroom
Potential buyers want homes that are clean and well-kept, most especially the bathroom. Refurbishing the bathroom doesn't have to be that expensive. Painting the walls, repairing the toilet and/or adding newer fixtures such as faucets and shower heads will make your bathroom more appealing to the buyers.
Staging your home for the resale market doesn't have to be that expensive -- just a fresh coat of paint could do the trick! For best results, consult with American Perma-Coat Painting in Topeka to get your home ready to put on the market.

The Annual Haddenham Winterfest was held with its usual mix of good food, lovely beers and excellent entertainment.
Once again the weather was extremely kind and on what turned out to be a dry, warm and not too windy day, the Haddenham Lodge of Freemasons donned their aprons to serve up barbecue food.
With more than 1,100 people in attendance during the afternoon on Saturday, December 12. There was no shortage of customers and the team had sold its full complement of 350 sausages and burgers before it got dark.
The meat, supplied by Wrens of Thame, was up to its usual high standard and quite a few people were noted to have come back for seconds.
The Master of Haddenham Lodge, Richard Forrest, said: "Once again the event has been an outstanding success and we must congratulate the Beerfest committee on their superb organisation and give our thanks for inviting us to participate once more.
"We raised £700 on the day which will all be donated to local charities and good causes by Haddenham Lodge and the Beerfest Trust. It is also one of the many and varied ways that Bucks Freemasons core values of friendship, integrity and charity are promoted as part of our commitment to assisting every part of our community."

Galaxy magazine August 1953
Pretty nice issue with mostly good stories.
Mind Alone • novella by J. T. McIntosh
A young woman has been brainwashed to lose all her memories and she has been altered surgically to be completely unrecognizable, and them dumped to Venus. She is placed to an mental institute, and after she slowly regains some basic memories the intelligence officers start to investigate her. Has she been modified by rebellious colony world, Murrane, for some strange reason? Pretty good story, interesting. The ending doesn't really work, however. The "end reveal" is illogical and not really interesting. ***½
We're Civilized! • shortstory by Mark Clifton and Alex Apostolides
The first human spaceship lands on Mars, and declares all Mars belonging for humankind. Even when there are intelligent Martians present. When there is the official reception for the heroes of Martian expedition, an alien space ship lands on Earth, and seems to annex the earth. Nice one. ***½
Diplomatic Immunity • novelette by Robert Sheckley
A classic story. The apparently unkillable ambassador of apparently hostile alien race is calling the colonizing team. How to get rid of him? Nice, not best of Sheckley, but good anyway. ***½
The Trap • shortstory by Betsy Curtis
A very old woman gets visited by a very persistent salesman, who has some very amazing beauty products. She is not at all interested, even though the products seem to make wonders. And the salesman seems to be strangely persistent... Not very surprising or logical premise, and the ending really sucks. (The old woman has invented with another scientist the secret of preventing aging – and they have a contract that when they die, the invention reverts to public domain, and the company wants them to live forever. After she has been renewed against her will she is perfectly happy with invasion of her privacy) **
Minimum Sentence • shortstory by Theodore R. Cogswell
Two criminals escape jail term by hijacking an alien space drive. They plan to escape by the faster than light ship, but everything doesn't go as planned. (The engine is just a time machine which can move back in time, so that long lived aliens get home in time. The actual travel takes decades) ***
Stamped Caution • novelette by Raymond Z. Gallun
A Martian spaceship crashes. An egg is salvaged from the wreck, and a Martian grows out of it. A few years later humans start an expedition to Mars, and they take to martian with them. Slowly the prejudices between two races are conquered. Pretty good story which preaches for tolerance. Pretty different in style than the stories which were common in Astoundings from the same time period, where the normal way was just to blow up everything alien. ****-

Tart red cherry notes beckon on the nsoe and lead to a light, slender, translucent body of unpretentious fruit and freshness. This is the sort of easy-drinking, dry wines you absolutely must have in your picnic basket: uncomplicated fruit, freshness and joy.

So as most people currently residing in the United States of America know, today marked the start (or is it end?) of daylight savings. Unfortunately my sense of time is rather messed up right now due to my work shifts starting at 6am and my recent night-outs ending at 3am. So it's currently almost 11am, and if I didn't read the time on the clock, I would have no sense of it whatsoever.
Anyways, my point in bringing up daylight savings is that I'm trying to rationalize the massive amounts of procrastination that I have undergone for the past hour and half. I'm telling myself that starting this blog counts as something productive. Oh, and I just navigated a separate tag on my browser to finally conduct an exit interview for one of my student loans.
On a side note, I think it's sort of funny how it's always been this expected/accepted thing that I'm going to go to college for four years and come out with lots of debt. This plan seems rather illogical at times like these, when I can only think of a few friends who ended up landing full time jobs. But I guess I ended up being one of the lucky ones. It only took me four months to find a job.
Alright, I admit it, I had no real goal or purpose in writing this blog post except to just get my first entry out there. In the near future I hope to be posting recipes, workouts, health news, and the like.
And thus ends my first official entry of my new (refurbished) blog.

I turned in my term paper today. I think Lucy's smile was the only happy face in the class, but I felt relieved to be done. Lucy had assigned us all code numbers to use on our papers instead of names to protect the innocent. As soon as the works were all collected, Lucy handed out directions on reading and reviewing the papers of others in the class. The instructions were straight forward and included how many points to assign each section. This was really going to happen. Lucy gave each of us another person's paper. As I read the words of another classmate, I tried my best to be objective and fair but it is always easy to point out the negative. On top of that, I wanted to believe that my work was better. As this horrible bias dawned on me, I slowly realized that we could all be graded for the good work we had crafted. I loved that thought and decided to look for the good. After reading further, I got into the theme and enjoyed the writer's choices in language and content. I might even learn a few tricks if I really pay attention.
In the comments section of the review page, I lavished praise on the high points and used some questions to address possible options for areas of challenge. I was certainly no expert but I had my thoughts. Overall, the paper was a success and met the theme offered. Lucy wanted each of us to make remarks on three papers. As we completed our remarks, we left the papers on the desk at the front of the class and chose another one. The second one I read was different from the first and enjoyable in its own way. I read and even read a couple of passages twice to really understand the writer's perspective. It looked like everyone in class was making little notes on the pages they were reading. By the end of class, everyone had finished reading three papers and there were stacks of words on the desk.
I wished I could have taken a picture of the papers in case I couldn't remember it in my own memory. I finished my first class and and felt a smile cross my face. Lucy must have noticed and started to walk along with me in the hallway. She asked me about what my plans were for next semester. I stopped walking. I had no idea. I really had not thought ahead. To successfully complete one class was one thing; to take another was a whole other conversation with myself.

I have been seeking out natural replacements free of cancer causing parabens for my personal care products. Well I am so happy with this amazing bar soap, I had to tell all. Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps are truly magic. The smell is like aroma therapy, the feel is clean to the touch and it does not even burn the eyes if you happen to get a bit in there. The Dr only uses organic oils and ingredients that are fair trade. The only downside to this soap is the price tag which ranges from a sale price of $2.99 to $5.49 per bar. It can be obtained for less, but how much less?
Check if your local Bed Bath & Beyond carries The Dr. If so, buy at least $15 worth of soap and then use your $5 off $15. Example, at $3.19/bar x 5 bars = $15.95 – $5 coupon = $10.95/5 bars = $2.19/bar pre-tax, a 32% discount.
Look for the soap on sale at your local store or purchase from a store that has a discount day. My favorite store, the Co-Opportunity, has 10% off day once a month for members.
Online should be the cheapest price but I have yet to find a source that beats the $2.19/bar price even taking into account free shipping and a tax-free transaction. What is the best price you have found for this soap and where? Please share your super-secret deals with me.
BONUS! Vote with your wallet, Dr Bronner's is a major proponent of the GMO labeling movement. – GreenUp! Guy

Reaching into my convention bag & pulling out some of my favourite swaps I received from Aussie demos, it sure brings back some good memories.
From Jayne Mercer - simple elegance with one of my favourite stamp set's at the moment Bird on a Branch
From Sonia Garbutt in Queensland - just love this baby card using Fox and Friends - such a versatile set.
From Pam Jorgensen - a really cute baby card using the scallop circle Bigz die - how clever is this.
From Kerry O'Hanlon - now I don't like dogs or punch art in real life but do love this - isn't he cute.
Thank you all they're fabulous - I wonder what I'll pull out next time - I do know there's some more goodies in that bag!
