Brag Books

May 22, 2008 by Ruth  

So I am sure you have been wondering where I have been. I have been around, stamping too, however I have had a few technical difficulties recently. My husband disconnected the cradle that connects to my computer to download my photos. As a result I haven’t been able to download my latest creation.

The photo today is of a photo album I have made. My mum had a small photo album with the title ‘Brag Book’ on the front of it that she was given when my neice was born. So I thought I would make one for her Mothers Day Present. However I didn’t take a photo of it. Infact I have made Three of these books in the last week and the photo you can see if the third one!!! Everytime I thought of my blog I had already given the ‘Brag’ book away as a gift and not taken a photo. So I had to make a third one to show you all!!! so that is the other reason why I have been quiet over the last 2 weeks.

This Album has been made with the ‘Wild About You’ stamp set, ‘Fall Flowers’ Designer Series Paper, HodgePodge Hardware and Twill Tape.
I am planning to hold a class in June in you are interested in coming to learn how to make one. Please email me your contact details. The dates for classes in June and July will be confirmed next week. I hope you can come.

Well, now to the thinking part………..7 random and weird facts…..
1. I grew up in the country on a farm near Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia

2. I am the oldest of 3 girls, in fact the majority of my extended family (cousins etc) are girls!!! and my sister and I have had a girl each as well, so my dad is praying for a miracle in the years to come if we have more children!!! or when my little sister has her first!

3. Whilst at School I had computer classes that I was hopless with to the point where I think the teacher dreaded having the weekly class with me in it!!! When I left school I did a Secretarial course and some how ended up in the IT industry, I am sure if my teacher found me he would be amazed!!! and maybe slightly glad that something he taught helped me path the way to a career!!!

4. March 25 this year my husband and I were blessed with a beautiful baby girl called Annabelle!
5. A holiday desitnation I would love to go to one day is Antarctica.
