is what ivy calls 2 peas when she sees it on my computer screen :)
the midmonth garden went up this morning and it is delish! i'm also so excited about the new garden girls who have recently joined - i am no longer lone aussie!
i made this minibook card thinggy for my dad for father's day (which isn't until september in australia, so maybe there's a chance he'll get it in time?!!)...if you are interested, you can see more pics and instructions here.
ivy had her last day of school today! i can't believe how fast the year went by, and how much she grew in that year thanks to a most wonderful teacher and rhythms. i wish i had gone to a school like this!
she came home with an amazing book of paintings she had done throughout the year, they are truly the most beautiful things i have ever seen and i will share them in a post of their own once i take some photos!
Love your fd album! You do some great projects and thanks for sharing all the instructions!

Two Peas in My Pocket is sooo much cuter!
Does she go to a Montessori School? I homeschool and I just got a book On Montessori to incorporate it more into our curriculum. Letting children develop naturally is much better I wish all schools did this.

Love the FD gift.

Hi Emily:
Absolutely loved your Father's Day album. I truly love the altered look. It's like your travel journal with the index cards, really loved that also. Am waiting for your write up about, "Today's Mama," scrapbooking on the road. I know that you are unbelievablely busy this last while, WOW, and very low on energy and still your the energizer bunny.
Congradulations to both you and Mick and his new job and the move. By now you should be moved in and waiting. How exciting that will be for the three of you - a new little gift for your family. When you get energy back and have a routine again, you'll have to let us all know about your new home. Was looking back on your site and saw your 1995 Cool Pink Studio. If you have one in your new home would love to see it. I'm truly computer illiterate but am going to have a friend help me one day to send you pics. of mine. All three of my children are getting married this year - WHOA - talk about fun and excitement. One is a destination and am going to do a index album of everyday there and will have my girlfriend help me send pics. of that to you also. You don't have to respond back Emily as I know your life is crazy also right now. Just wanted to let you know how much I love your FD album and to wish you all the best. Your site is in my favorites and check it everyday. My girlfriend Lynn is the one who told me about your site and the 52 card challenge which were doing. You'd love her and her site, so if you have a moment (I don't know when) you should visit her. www.memoriesbylynn.com - I think you'll love her site.
Take care Emily.

emily - that album is FANTASTIC! so many gorgeous details - i just love it!

Oh, the playing-corner in Ivys school looks so beautyful. Strange, it allmost looks the same as in Sol and Eiruns (my two daughters) school (we call it kindergarden).
The beauty of a Steinerschool must be universal... I think everybody has to fall in love with colors and materials like this. :-)
Your fathers-day album is so lovely. I really LOVE the free and funky way you make your minialbums.
Loads of love to you.
