Lot's to share.
Firstly, a belated happy Mother's Day for all the mums for yesterday!! We spent a lesiurely morning at home and then spent the afternoon at mum & dads for afternoon tea with Debbie and her family. Was a nice day! And I got some lovely pressies:) All the usual little soaps and candles and lip gloss from the Mother's Day stall at school. I always love seeing what the kids choose for me!!!!
Here's Capri and Chelsea out the front of my parents house! They happily posed for like, oh, 5minutes for some photos ...
So. Other news?
Well I taught the workshop for the Italian site www.scrapbookiando.com on Saturday night.
It was a HUGE learning curve, nervewracking to start with BUT was fantastic. What a totally welcoming, warm and friendly bunch of girls! I had no reason to be nervous about the language barriers because together we worked things out! I had my little googletranslate.com site open so I could understand their questions and I taught half the steps in Italian, half in English and Lory and Simona, the site owners, were there to translate the rest!! Lots of the girls tried out their English also and it was FUN!
And I was totally fascinated by the fact I was here in Australia, sitting at my computer teaching girls on the other side of the world, whose first language isn't English and we were all understanding each other and they were scrapbooking!!!! Their finished layouts are starting to appear into the gallery and you can see them here: I am so proud of them all for embracing the class and welcoming me as well as creating such fantastic layouts!!
Grazie ancora Lory e Simona!!!
