Getting all high tech

I'm back from my week working on the animation in London. I made lots of miniature things out of cardboard in a big studio in Stockwell. Very fun and I can't wait to see the finished animations taking shape!

Today I have been getting all high tech. I have managed to get all my songs off my old vintage iPod Mini that I have had for years and into iTunes to add to Dave's new fancy iPod he got for Christmas. Him with his swish new toy and me finally joining the digital revolution with my new camera, we're a bit behind but we're getting there! I have been loading CD after CD into the computer too to add lots more songs. It's taken all afternoon but we have broken the 1000 mark. The iPod takes 20,000 songs so a little bit of space left!

I've been designing cards while the songs have been uploading. I have 5 card orders to do today and tomorrow which is fab! I'm really enjoying making cards to fit around people's requests for names and imagery etc. I'll get the finished cards onto here very soon.

Oh yeah I remembered to bring my camera lead back home too so I can add some festive photos..



This is the spectactular display of Christmasness awaiting our arrival at Dublin Airport!



And this is our New Years Day swim in the sea!!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2008 to everyone and I hope you all had a lovely Christmas!

I'm back at home after a hectic few weeks working in London then heading to Sussex to my family for Christmas then back up north for Christmas II with Dave's family and then to Ireland to stay with friends for New Year! A fab time was had by all and I have lots of photos which I will put up when I get my camera lead back (I left it at my parents by mistake, grrr!)

The highlights were seeing my friends and family again, eating lots of nice food, getting and giving (hopefully) lots of nice presents and swimming in the Irish sea on New Years Day! Have a look at the 'Zimmer Swimmers' link on the right for video proof!

Now I'm back to the card making and monkey stuffing. I have a steady stream of orders to keep me busy until I spend next week back in London working on the cardboard animation project again which I'm looking forward to! It's snowing today which is all very nice but I really hope it doesn't affect my trains to and from London...

Ta ra

Here's a few cards I have made recently but haven't been able to reveal in case people saw them who shouldn't!
