TGIF.........eh....well....almost ...!

...no "school" for me tomorrow.......yeah!!!.... long weekend.......well almost, hospital appointment at 9 a.m. Been an eventful week and a busy day!

Medal ceromony at lunchtime:

Nicolas being awarded life membership of a very elite group at work!

The three members of the the elite group, proudly sporting their medals of honour!

The medal....yes ..handmade by yours truly in the wee small hours of this morning

After celebrating Nicolas' birthday in the appropriate manner, gifts, cakes and champagne, no time to rest, off to origami class with the lovely Yuko. Today we put together the 30 folded pieces we made last month! Maths can be a problem in origami and none of us felt capable of doing the 3 and 5 rule without Yuko's supervision!! The result is very intricate and beautiful, well I think so, judge for yourselves!

thanks Yuko!!

Very shortly it will be off to bed, the sandman is already calling!

Lucky streak

I won again...Yipeee. Nice prize for just being there!!! Thank you so, so much Laura and Carol & Barrie xxx. Can't wait to see it for real. What an appropriate sentiment........ AND.... not only signed by Tim Holtz himself...........but also created by, and signed by, the talented woman that "blew his mind...", "flipped his world upside down...", "never in a million years would he have thought of that.." wowowowo! She deserves the praise!

Cricut CraftRoom

Apart from the videos on Facebook & a couple of videos like this on youtube, there doesn't seem to be a lot of details about this online software. Is it really free? Can you alter the designs? Can you create your own? ....don't miss the next episode!

Mise à part quelques vidéos comme celui-ci et les vidéos sur Facebook il y a pas beaucoup d'information concernant ce logiciel en ligne. Est-ce vraiment gratuit? Est-ce qu'on peut changer les dessins? Est-ce qu'on peut créer ses propres créations? ....à suivre!

Laura's stunning projects for Tim................

WOW!! Jump over and see all the photos!!

...the result of going to fast....

Bound to happen one day I suppose but what an  idiot do I feel...........TWAT! Busy morning and was so engrossed in what I was doin when taking my midday meds that I only realised as the pill was going off the back of the tongue and down the gullet that it was the WRONG one. I won't be avalaible for much of the afternoon as the sleeping pill is now kicking in!! Sweet Dreams!

Ça devrait arriver, mais j'ai l'air con!! Très occupé ce matin et voulant retourner au travail j’ai pris mes medocs......sauf on avalant le pilule de midi je suis rendu compte que ce n’était pas le bon! JE ne sera pas disponible pour une bonne partie de l'après midi car le somnifère commence déjà  àfaire effet!

2011 off to an encouraging start

Phew, just home after a hard day's work, well 1/2 really,to find a letter from my cardiologist:
".....for the moment there appears to be no need to proceed with the implantation of an automatic defibrillator. However we need to test with a holter device"
 Translated = no device implanted but off with the chest hair once again!!! :o)
Bon j'arrive après une dur journée de travail, fin un 1/2 jornée quoi, et je trouve des bonnes nouvelles : 
" ...pour le moment il n'y a pas d'indication à la pose d'un défibrillateur automatique implantable. Cependant il convient de contrôler le holter ECG "
Traduction = Pas d'implant pour l'instant mais encore une poitrine toute dénudée!! :o)

2011

A very, very  Happy and creative 2011 to all my new found, and existing, crafting friends.
Spending the day with my family, visited scrapbook shop in Durham on Thursday .....great!!! Been to Apple Store but missed Laura's bash and Tim Holtz.
Bonne Année créative à tous mes amis, nouveau et ancien du monde créatif.

Christmas wishes........

Time is marching on, last of the shopping done, presents still to wrap and a 4 hour journey in the snow on Christmas eve so I'd like to take the time now to wish everyone a Very, Very, happy and joyous Christmas.
Le temps avance, les cadeaux sont acheté mais pas encore emballes. Je n'aurais peut être pas le temps de me connecter dans les jours qui suivent, donc je vous souhaite un très, très joyeux noël.
