Sunday Sketches and Our Beautiful World
It's been ages since I've joined in with
It was so great to get into Paige's little book now.
Maybe in under two years time, I'll have her's completed by her 21st!
The quotes I find for Paige are so different to the quotes for Hannah,
and are as individual and different as these sisters are....

Our Beautiful World........ and got a Feature over at Sketches in Thyme PL Style!
The theme this week is
HOME
I've been following the life of this leaf spider for months... and have even recorded in my Project Life album... it has been such a character...
Here 'Leafy' has worn out her leaf home to skeletal proportions to the point where she's revealed!
Hardly the place to hide herself... she needs a new home!
Whatsmore, a week later she got her new home, and a partner...and even though her
leaf is blurred in the foreground (with both spiders in it), the focussed leaf in the background is the nursery! Yes... they curl a small leaf and in goes the babies away from the parents bedroom!
Their webs are works of art! These are orb spiders.
Here's a pic of what a leaf-curling spider looks like...
Not vicious, nor poisonous to humans. Might cause some localised redness and swelling.
Anyway...
Share your 'HOME' photography stories

And I can reveal why I'm also really really busy probably for the most part of the year....
I'm choreographer for ......
It's pretty exciting... and this past week I've been on the panel for auditions
Still got a couple more days to go before decisions on call backs.
It opens mid October here in Tasmania
It's going to be a bit of a ride!

A New Fun Downton Abbey Resource......
I'm a great fan of Downton Abbey... AND in 2013 Paige and I was lucky enough to go on a 'Locations Tour' when we were in England...
You can find the post HERE
A lovely person by the name of Jo Toader emailed to let me know of a new Downton Abbey resource created:
The Ultimate Map of Downton Abbey Locations: http://www.wayfair.co.uk/aresidence/2015/12/04/downton-abbey-filming-locations/
The Ultimate Map of Downton Abbey Locations: http://www.wayfair.co.uk/aresidence/2015/12/04/downton-abbey-filming-locations/
I've added Jo's words below just in case there is anyone else who might want to share this too!
And I'll edit my old post linked above and add this in as well.
Our map marks over 71 Downton Abbey filming locations, with pictures, information about where they are, what scenes they feature in and how you can visit them. Our hope is that fans of the show from all over the world can fulfil their Downton dreams and see the locations for themselves.
I thought this might be of interest to you and your readers, especially as the show is sadly coming to an end on Australian TV screens soon. You’re welcome to include the map in a post of your own and get creative with it (or just add it to your existing article so your readers can follow in your footsteps easily); you could perhaps write about your favourite of the Downton Abbey locations or put together a list of the spots you’d like to visit next time you’re here, for example. The map is free and easy to embed directly from Google Maps with the following code, so long as you accredit it to Wayfair.co.uk:
< iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=zth2XN15qXCY.kagBA1BhhFKc" width="640" height="480">

I hope this is of interest to you and if you do feature the map be sure to let me know (or tweet @WayfairUK)—we’ll be sharing related content and would be delighted to hear from you.
This is really exciting!
Scroll down on my side bar and you'll see the interactive map there already to play with!
So clever!!!
And I'm REALLY sad Downton Abbey has come to an end.

Our beautiful World, Sketches in Thyme PL Style
The theme this week is
COLOUR
With our trip last month to the Gold Coast and to see the dolphins,
nothing was more colourful then these little cottages in the background
of the dolphin show!
It was such a delight to watch how intelligent these dolphins are!
------------------------------------------------------------
Still getting through some of my 'missing' weeks of previous PL albums..
Slowly but surely!
Hmmn, my camera is not taking clear pics.... do you think that maybe once a
memory card gets 'old' that it doesn't take good photos anymore.
I've just done a little internet search and some say yes, others say no!
Ugh, I don't know (shrug)
Again I've been scarce in blogland, doing renovations at the moment -
plumbers and electricians - moving my scrappy stuff to out of reach places while
that's going on hasn't helped. Running accounts and getting back to work
has been time consuming too. Each week I think.... maybe next week it
will be less?? Soooooo... maybe next week will be less!

PL Sketches in Thyme #114
A little bit of fun....
and
Love doing these sketch cards... it gives me a boost in getting my
PL pages completed!
Paige's yr 12 graduation - a hug for mum, and a precious father/daughter waltz
A totally wonderful night! Yes, the parents get to go to this school's ball.
Mostly though the parents mix with the other parents and the young adults dance the night away.
Lovely memories!

Our Beautiful World, PL Sketches in Thyme, Scrapki Wyzwaniowo .....
Oh boy, I feel like I've been on a bit of a blog sabbatical! Minimum posts! Its true.
We've had quite a bit on, and returning also to work this week takes quite a
bit of preparation and time....
So, back to routine!
First up...
The theme is
'UP'
This is my husband... harnessed up in the top middle of the photo, he's very sure footed
(a tree faller) so has no problems being up high! He's on what is the '3rd story' but wasn't
allowed to go up further because they closed the '4th' because of strong wind....
something he is used to! Paige did climb too (not pictured), and because of the wind
didn't feel safe getting past the '1st story'.
Share your 'UP' photography stories

#13
It's been awhile since I've joined in,
and have started my 2016 PL album...
Here's the great little sketch
And here's my card :)
------------------------------------------------------
I've started to look at how I'm going to house my Gold Coast (Queensland) holiday photos...
so I thought - yep... stick to gold!
I found this terrific Theresa Collins almost transparency album with gold stripes...
My cover page is just plain all gold... and there's a reason for that:
So when you look through the stripy cover... its not confused by a lot of patterns or colour
And that's as far as I've got LOL!
Weeeeell, its a start!
------------------------------------------
I've also created a cover page for my 2016 PL album...
with scrapki wyzwaniowo in mind....
it had to have a 'masculine' feel to it...
The photos in the LO is of a vintage book, blue hard cloth cover, with the title of
'Plays and Players'
'Theatre Essays'
has a 'gentleman's tone, maybe from an old fashioned library where once
the gentry retired with port....
There's a small train with carriages that says 'take a ride' with a 'boy-ish' play on words.
The book is my altered 2016 diary.
