Cropathon
I have had a Cropathon!!! I cropped together with Jess on Friday night. Got home at midnight to find Ruey's email, asking me if I was interested to go to a crop on Saturday 12pm-5pm! If you knew Ruey the way I do, Ruey doesn't do impromptu crops. Not because she is a snob... (well sometimes she calls herself a paper snob but most of us are) but because she has many family commitments or errands and not enough cars to run them. This came as a big surprise to me so I had to ask her if she was serious!!! I saw her email the next morning, saying that she meant it. But the crop was 1+ hour's drive from home, and we had to take Phaedon for his haircut, and we had made plans to go look at some display homes, and then possibly go for lunch. There was just a bit too much going on for me to say yes to another crop (after last night's) and to drive over an hour to go there for a short crop.
Then she rang close to midday and made the offer more interesting - that Felicity was going to be there as well, and I can continue scrapping at her house afterwards! And she said that I have got my crop bag sitting at my entrance from last night anyway! OK... GOOD POINT!!!
By now, Peter had overheard everything I said on the phone to Ruey (I did that on purpose), and he said "You can go ...." and I did a mini "Yes!!! punch" inside me. So we ran through all our errands, had a quick Macca's lunch and headed home. I took off for my 2nd crop.
Took FOREVER to get there because of road works causing major traffic jams on a freakin' Saturday!! I got there at 2.30pm... half way through the crop. I never felt that crazy. But at the same time, I felt so good about this impromptu!!! So liberating!
Anyway, I did these layouts ....
Title: Cool Shades
Just love the little alien/monkey at the bottom right hand corner. Too cute not to have it on the same stage as my son.
Title: Time Out
Have been wanting to do this layout for a long time.
Title: Dance of Heritage
This layout took the longest. I spent almost 4 hours figuring the layout, and spent an entire day thinking of the title, then finally the journaling which I thought was the best thing on this layout.
Journaling: Lion Dance [wushi] is a form of traditional dance in Chinese culture, in which performers mimic a lion's movements in a lion costume. I was very glad that you enjoy watching Lion Dances, despite the excessively loud gongs and cymbals. In fact, you got upset when we couldn't get any closer. At the Chinese New Year festival in 2007, we bought you a mini lion dance costume. You loved playing with it. It is, after all, half your heritage.
Tomorrow, Ellen goes back to kinder for Term 2. YIPPPPPEEEEEEE!!!!!! Can you tell I'm excited? LOL...
All right... just a short entry this time. Cuppa tea waiting for me.
Later!
