Fairie Dust January & February Page

Hi Lovelies,

I'm back again to show you INSIDE the Fairie Dust Year of Photos Album!

For this series of classes, ladies create a new page in the album each month and this

year we are using a single stunning range.

Things are always busy at the start of the year, so to catch up, both the Album and the January page

were made on the one day!

Helen is a master at layering techniques and attendees are sure to pick these up in classes throughout the year. Her albums are always stunning which can be attributed to layering the right patterned and solid papers and complimenting them with gorgeous embellishments.

This vibrant green tassel accompanied by a delicate bow at the top of the page is only a portion of the luxurious embellishments to come in this Album.

February's page features three lovely cut outs with a glitter mat, which have been foam mounted onto the page. A very simple method which creates a beautiful impact!

I hope you're loving this year's series of Year of Photos!

Stay tuned for more wonderful pages as the year progresses.

A magical day at Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers

Today was our planned helicopter ride to see the glacier and have a snow landing. We were a tad worried as the weather report the night before was not all that encouraging. We had a bit of a slow start and checked in at the flight desk at 10am as requested. The advice was, the flight would go ahead - however with the changing weather conditions the snow landing would be determined on a minute by minute basis. If the landing was scrapped we would have additional flight time added to keep our trip to the same length. Honestly we were just happy to be able to take off. Safety briefing done, the loading crew led us to the helipads. They were pretty cool. Looked a little like landing pads for space craft. The pads are made from the rocks that make up a large part of the landscape of the area. We were given our assigned seats and Thomas (our pilot) got us sorted and...

Final wrap up of our NZ visit

We have had an amazing time visiting the South Island, and also a few days in the North at Wellington to mainly visit the WETA workshop. On Saturday the 29th Nov we flew up to Wellington for a few days to have a look about and visit the WETA workshop. Wellington did live up to its reputation of being windy. Its a nice city built around a harbor. Most things are easy walking distance from the city centre. We took a few walks along the harbor. Elizabeth wanted to try what they call white bait. It looks like worms with eyes. It was cooked with egg. Neither of us were a great fan of this. We took the cable car up the mountain to see the sights and buy more souvenirs :). Our main objective was to visit the WETA workshop who have lots of special effects and prosthetics used in films such as LOTR. The shop was amazing with lots of expensive models but also prints and other items at reasonable rates. We had orders from family for few things and we also purchased a couple...
