  • Ken Harris Art Workshop

    Last weekend I went to an art workshop held by Ken harris. ken has a show on briz 31 (local channel) he does great landscapes and he's a lovely old fella! I learnt heaps - techniques, styles, using different tools.. and my confidence has grown in leaps and bounds!

    Painting 1 (Ken Harris workshop April 08) This is the first picture we did.

    I really enjoyed the weekend. They had really cheap frames there so we could frame our artwork, and I'm so glad I did! This workshop has really rejuvenated my love for painting.

    We did five paintings over the two days and I am proudest of my last piece. I am now on the lookout for a new scene to paint :)

  • my 26th year

    The Christmas break seems so long ago now! It was great to have a few weeks off :) even better to be able to read novels, not think about work and genuinely relax!

    I had a fabulous birthday :)  I got a thermos, a frangipani tree (plumeria rubra), some Terry Pratchett books, some craft cardboard, tickets to Dreamworld (woohoo! I can't wait!) and some more red kitchen accessories (oh, plus the summerfieldayze ticket from my dad).

    My boss bought me some chocolates and we had a lovely morning tea! I don't feel any different being 26 but I am conscious of the fact that Jon turns 30 in April (and I keep reminding him too!)

    im feeling winky

    Overall I couldn't have asked for a better start to the year!

    This is the year that we plan on painting and raising our house. We will have to move out for a month or so while they raise the place, but Lex and I will shift back in with mum, and Jon is gonna borrow a friends caravan to live in the backyard!

    Oh, i nearly forgot.. here's a picture of us going to last years Awards night - me in blue, lex in blue/pink and Jon looking smashing in his suit! (Notice our new paved area & shade sail in the back yard - pretty cool huh?!)

  •  taken from 12/8/06     love coffee

    My aim for the weekend was to complete an essay.. with much hard work and coffee I got it done! Woohoo! Three more essays to go and 6 weeks to do them! I got myself into a real pickle with these subjects this semsester.. Next time, I'll check the assessment to make sure this overload doesnt happen!

    I no longer have xanga premium which means I can only have 10 people on my protected list.. The choice I have to make here is (a) limit my current subs into an elite 10 (bloody hard to do).. or (b) use public posts.

    I don't post all that often anymore and I feel less paranoid about who reads my site (I'm sure there are still ferals flaoting around, but we need to move on right?!) so perhaps i am ready for some public posts..

  • Time is precious

    I am stuck at work tonight while a colleague of mine presents a course on "Time Management"

    set yourself goals
    prioritise and establish order
    identify time wasters and anything that stops you achieveing your goal
    Work towards your goal
    ignore time wasters
    Achieve your goals and move on to the next one!

    So what am I doing while this course is being presented? I am procrastinating.. I am giving in to time wasters and distractions and not doing my essay. I promised myself I would not leave assignments to the last minute this year, and so far I ahve done very well. I am on track with everything except this one essay - mainly because the essay question is uninviting and a real "head-scratcher" that I can't get my teeth into!

    Anyway, it has been a lot longer than I ever thought it would be. I never thought I could be away from Xanga for longer than a few days. Time is precious, home renovations and assignments seem to take priority lately.. I hope all my friends here on Xanga are happy and healthy.. I think of you often and fondly :)

  • she's not the type of girl to wait by the phone
    she wont cry cause she knows it wont get her anywhere.
    she'll laugh a lot & often.
    she'll live her own life.
    she'd like you to be apart of it,
    but she'll do just fine without you

  • Game II: State of Origin 2006

    This is the picture of Danny Buderis, NSW Captain, holding the 2005 shield!

    Tonight is a must win game for the Maroons to save the series and I'm sure the Queenslander's know what is at stake if they lose.

    New South Wales has won 3 series' in a row.. could 2006 be their 4th?

    This time last year I was with Stu.. ! How time flies!
    It has also been a year since Rick's grandfather died. I hope the hurt and sadness you were feeling over his loss has faded somewhat Rick!

    GO THE BLUES! 

    Of course, I forget that the Yanks play a totally differnet type of football.. State of Origin is Rugby League, it a series of representative games where the best players are chosen to play and represent their States!  .. for more info see nrl.com.au or my prev post some weeks ago
