I just ordered another photo book the other day. Someone over at SSD had been kind enough to gift me with a coupon at shutterfly, and the deadline was Oct. 31, so of course I had to take the opportunity to use that coupon before the time was up. And now, I’m happy to share with you my memories from the summer of 2009: Click here to view this photo book larger Visit Shutterfly.com to create your own personalized photobook.
Culture week concluded today, and like every year, it happened with a grand finale. The best performances throughout the week get to participate in the show, and it’s a rainbow of different dances, songs, acts, and performances. It’s definitely a highlight each year, and probably one of the shows around here you don’t want to miss, if you can help it. I did help myself to an entertaining morning, and lots of internationality. And that’s the end of it!
I got inspired again by a traditional scrapbook page. Take a look at this layout by Wendy Sue: Isn’t it gorgeous? I loved the color scheme and all the little details she added to her page, and so, as soon as I saw it in the Two Peas gallery, I knew I had to scrap lift this one, and make a digital page out of it. So, here’s the page I created based on this LO:
I found myself at the main square again. To watch my friends play street hockey together. And trying to keep myself from being hit by any out-of-control ball that would come my way. Because remember: not everyone is as adept at playing hockey as my Canadian friends. And I assure you, not all who played today were Canadians. I survived, however, as did everyone else involved, and so I’d say that’s good news in itself. Isn’t it?
I finally did again! It’s been a long while since I last did any hybrid project, but I finally sat down to make some cards again, and here’s my first to share with you. This one is actually a very simple one. I just cut four rectangles, added an apple a bow and a sentiment, and voi la! A pretty giveaway that will make someone happy some day! Here’s a closer look at the card … Supplies used: Everyday Storytelling: Autumn by Kristin Cronin-Barrow and Jenn Barrette; ribbon; white card stock
Fright night is over, and I’m really glad we made it through a couple of days with skeletons hanging in our (new) lobby, and skulls welcoming visitors as they enter our building. Not being from a country where Halloween is a big event, I can never understand why people would want to scare each other with ghostly activities, when it’s so much better to share life and joy with one another. Anyhow, fright night is over, and Europe Day commenced today. Of course, being from Europe, every year, Europe Day upsets me, because my dear American colleagues never think of Europe as anything but ancient and medieval (a perspective, which is neither shared by the Chinese, nor can it be appreciated by a true European!). Luckily, I was so busy with other things today, that I didn’t even have the time to go and take pictures of the events in the square (must have missed that one Viking which has survived through the centuries and annually makes his appearance at Culture Week). I didn’t even get …
