Scrapbook Sally



Here are the elements of a scrapbook page which I intend to create and send to my friend Sally. (Her photo is on the right hand side). I have always loved paper craft and have enjoyed calligraphy, pergamano, folk art, marbling, card making, stamping, decoupage, stencilling over the years. Scrapbooking has so much potential to incorporate all these crafts. I'll post this to my blog when I have sent her the page!

Merriwa NSW


I just love the trip to Merriwa which is approx 60km from Scone. Along the way the countryside is ever changing and according to season, brings surprises and delights every time.

This rock formation is grand and moody, adapting to the weather and season and reminds me of rock formations in Northern Territory and Western Australia. It particularly reminds me of the Bungle Bungles in WA. Oh to revisit with a digital camera!

Scone late autumn




Today I set up my display of yarns etc for 'Festival of the Fleeces' at the Visitors Welcoming Centre, Merriwa. On my journey to Merriwa I found some deciduous trees still displaying autumnal beauty, just outside of Scone. This area with its distinct four seasons is at its best in Autumn in my humble opinion. This is an example of nature's colour palette.I am loving my new camera, a Canon S5 SI, altho' fixed range focus, the quality is very good at 8 megapixels.
