Here's my first layout using Funky Junky Old School.
Go get it HERE! :-)
Funky Junky Old School
It's out today - Funky Junky Old School. The new colab with Rachel Young Designs, PixelWorks and Kate Hadfield. I love the retro feel to this kit and just know I'm gonna use it again and again and again...
I want my trainers!
Joshua had water play yesterday so I packed up his crocs along with his swimmers, towel and sunscreen. When the time came he put his crocs on and dashed off ready to splash about leaving Miss Sharma to pop his trainers in his bag and on his peg.
Now, Carl and I try and use the correct American-English with Joshua as we don't want him to go to school confused. So it's normal in our house to say cookies, truck, trash, etc. But one word neither Carl or I can get comfortable saying is 'sneakers', so Joshua's trainers have always been just that - his trainers.
When waterplay came to an end and it was time to change back into dry clothes, Joshua asks Miss Sharma for his trainers. She replies with a blank stare. He asks a little louder but Miss Sharma still doesn't understand what he's asking for. According to Miss Dj a full on tantrunm followed, and Miss Sharma called her in for help. Thankfully Miss Dj understood Joshua's English and was able to find his 'trainers' for him and help him get them on. Poor Miss Sharma she had a crash course in English yesterday - Joshua style! And I guess Carl and I will have to add a new word to our vocabulary too and get used to using the word 'sneakers'!

Jessica Sprague and House of 3
I signed up for Jessica Sprague free Photo Editing class. It's been running all week. I've been pretty busy at home with Carl's mum and dad here so I've only been able to skim over the emails as they arrive, but I am really excited to sit down and look thro the tutorials and am collecting photos for when I can start.
Today (day 7) Jessica Sprague introduces House of 3 who have provided free brushes, etc. I don't know why I was surprised to see it's a group of three made up from Heidi Swapp, Rhonna Farrer and Janet Hopkins. You can read about them here. Thier style is very beutiful and unique. I think you may see thier influence on some of my layouts shortly.
Have a happy Sunday.

Seaside Snack
Joshua last Sunday...
Strawberries and potato chips always taste better sitting on the sand.
Thank you for looking!
