Card fun...with Jane


Did you read Dick and Dora at primary school? I always remember the book being called Fun With Dick and Dora. I remember they had pets: Nip the dog and Fluff the kitten.

No, I haven't regressed to childhood, the Card Fun with Jane made me think of it. I do have a double page layout about my love of reading and the books I loved as a child. I wasn't a dolly girl, I wanted books! I loved The Famous Five and the Secret Seven, Nancy Drew, Trixie Beldon and even the Hardy Boys.

Anyway, my point, and I do have one (;-) is that today's class was fun and many thanks to Gwen, Jan, Karen and Dawn. Pat on the back to the ladies who had last minute problems and couldn't come. Rest assured girls, we ate your cake too.

The last card is one we made today and I promised to highlight on this blog how you can simply change something to make it look different.

Tomorrow is a crop with friends...oh the joys of creativity, girlfriends, laughter and cake!

Have a great weekend everyone,
Jane

Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince

Spent time with my sister Bin and Harry Potter yesterday. Yay! Finally got to see the movie. Enjoyed it very much, but it is annoying when they change films from the book.


Yes, I know they can't show EVERYTHING, but changing things is different. That's why books are better than the film usually. Bet you have a favourite book made into a movie that drives you nuts..


We saw a preview for New Moon, the next film in the Twilight series and they have definitely made some changes. Grrrr. I really enjoyed the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. her books have been in the Top 10 for over 2 years now. That must be very satisfying.


Back to Harry...people are complaining it's very dark in mood - well, hello people! If the dark lord is trying to take over the world and kills anyone in his way, there's not too much giggling in that. There are lighter moments. At least it stays true to the book in many ways.


On another note Bin reminded me that the last time we went to the movies together it was to see Mamma Mia. What a pair of slackers! Now THAT was a fun movie.
Popcorn anyone?
