Saturday

and what is everyone up to?? We are off to travel on the Talking Tram and check out the Chinese Museum here in Bendigo.

Today's quote is....

The more things change, the more they are the same. Alphonse Karr

Interesting Quote

I was neurotic for years. I was anxious and depressed and selfish. Everyone kept telling me to change. I resented them and I agreed with them, and I wanted to change, but simply couldn't, no matter how hard I tried. Then one day someone said to me, "Don't change. I love you just as you are." Those words were music to my ears: "Don't change, Don't change. Don't change . . . I love you as you are." I relaxed. I came alive. And suddenly I changed!

Anthony de Mello

Hello again...

... and here is another quote for you.

People can't live with change if there's not a changeless core inside them. The key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value. - Stephen Covey.

I hope you are all having a lovely day. Today Daniel and I took Granny to the Sacred Heart Cathedral. Even for a non-religious person like me, this amazing gothic style building was awe inspiring! It is huge and on the top of the hill in the middle of the city. Check out my blog for pictures later.

Then we went to the big shopping centre for a wander around, including a yummy citrus tart and gloria jeans coffee. I found a lovely teal coloured crocheted top on sale, so a great day out!! This is part of my change from a country bumpkin to a city slicker!! LOL

Love Kathryn

to liven up our little blog, I am going to add a quote for each day for the next week. I hope you enjoy...

There will be two today as I meant to start yesterday, but got carried away with housework and driving to Melbourne Airport to collect the Granny Bird.

Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts." Arnold Bennett

and...

Confucius said, "Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change."

Have a great day. Love Kathryn

Change

Now you didn't expect this that quick did you...To be truthful I had been planning to do this layout in my head for a few days now and coincidentally the journaling was going to be along the lines of change anyway so imagine how happy I was when I read about the theme of Kathryn's challenge. there is a tone on tone border (fiskars) on the brown cardstock that you cannot see in the top photo. Papers are cosmo cricket , stamps are Technique Tuesday and the cardstock is from (Kraft)Aussiescrapsource and the brown from Camelot, not sure of the brand though. will be stocking upon more of this colour next time I am there, it's a lovely shade.

Can't wait to see what every one else comes up with

(I'm hoping that by writing this big you will all see it and post your layouts, ha ha...)

Cheers,

Susy.

What?? Is it really October?

Yes, Kathryn and it is the 12th already which means you are 12 days behind setting the challenge for the month!

Apologies lovely ladies, please forgive me?

Ok, your mission this month should you choose to accept it is....
A one word challenge....
and the word is......




CHANGE

You need to do a layout on this word, with the journalling being an important part of it.

Change is inevitable. Change is always happening. You can do your layout on the change you can see in ...
you
your life
your child
the seasons
the economy
the world
or in your pocket!!!

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain." - Maya Angelou

Enjoy!
