Heidi Swapp chipboard alpha, HOTP fabric sticker (Nature), Magic Mesh, Prima flowers. The second layout uses Sassafrass Lass Tickled Pink papers, Art Warehouse stickers, K & Co rub-ons, MM button & Danelle Johnson epoxy stickers.

November 1998: My mother was visiting Hong Kong. And one day we decided to take a nice long walk along the nature trails of Victoria Peak with some friends. It is well worth visiting but perhaps not with a gaggle of children! LOL!

November 1996: It was a special day at kindergarten. The children were asked to dress up for a play. Lily had to dress like a princess so we went shopping at the local Disney store. Of course we fell in love with the Cinderella dress. I added some white flowers Lily's hair and she looked every inch the princess!

And now for a lesson in Greek Mythology ;-) It is made by malgusto.com which translated loosely means - in bad taste - but I found myself laughing (I grew up with MJ, what can I say?) and amazed at how good the CGs are!

I must mention the inspiration for the little square of magic mesh with the prima flowers. I was reading the current National Geographic. The article about the Virgina Company settling in at Jamestown and all about the Powhatan Indians. Very interesting stuff, I must say. And very different from what I gleaned from the Disney movie.

And there was this photograph of a large square wooden strainer thingy ~ the one archaeologists use to strain artefacts from the soil ~ with all sorts of stuff they had found. And suddenly the idea came to me that I could recreate a similar look with magic mesh. It was the last thought before I nodded off. Reading all these informative articles always puts me to sleep :-)
