My news - I'm off to China.

I will be leaving shortly to teach English in China. I am heading for a university in Hunan Province and I will be teaching English for university studies. I will be a Director of Studies (DOS) and there will be 2 other teachers working with me.
I was recently interviewed by The Sun-Herald for an article (p68, if you still have your copy), that appeared in last Sunday's edition. Here it is:
My scrapbooking and cardmaking supplies (well some of them) will be coming with me. There are Friday night sessions where students can come and practice their English in a social setting - I can see a lesson here!
I caught up with some friends,on Sunday, for lunch at The Waterfront Italian Restuarant. Here is a photograph I took with the Sydney Opera House in the background - last Sunday in Sydney was wet and it continues to rain. But wet or sunny the Opera House remains one of my most favourite buildings.
The next two photographs were taken from Circular Quay railway station and show the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Enjoy.

January Cyberchallenge - punched flowers.

Image
Images:(c)1990-2010 Stampin'Up(r) Artwork:Margaret L Crawford Our INKlings cyberchallenges have began for 2010. Tonight our leader, Jayne is setting the challenges. Our first challenge is to use SU punches to make a paper flower and use it on a card, scrapbook page or 3D item. I have used the round scallop punch (each flower has 3 punched scallops), cut a small way into each scallop and then pushed back to create a 3-D effect then I added a rhinestone brad to the centre of each flower. I used my markers to colour the leaves and then spritzed with water before adding to card. Challenge 1 completed.

Time stands still

Here is another layout I have created recently.  I have decided to post it for a challenge at ARTastic - I hope they allow more than one entry as I have already done one layout for their May challenge - Scrap the Girls. This photo was taken when I met up with friends that I attended TAFE with many years ago.  We completed the Advanced Needlecraft Certificate at Hornsby TAFE and became firm friends during this time.   But as life goes on we lost contact - until Facebook got us back together 20 years later!..  They caught the train up and we had lunch and much catch up at my home before a walk on the beach.   Again here is the inspiration photo at ARTastic, the criteria Girls Only. I was further inspired by a layout by Emily Pitt found on   Debbie Hodge  from 2013 that I found whilst blog surfing. Thank you Debbie I have left some thanks for you on your blog. Thank you for looking, Margaret.
