Life imitates art and paper imitates flowers! About half of these photos are paper replicas of the real thing – the other half are genuine flower photos. Can you tell the difference? (answers at the end) Don't forget to leave us a comment and let us know how well you did!
Festoon Your Tree With Flowers This Christmas

But beautiful things can always be beautifuler – ok, that's not a real word. But this creative decorating idea is the real deal. Be the envy of all your neighbours and family this year with a fresh spruce covered in bedazzling blooms.
Summer Collection Launch 2017 | "Queenstown"
Google "wild lupins New Zealand" and you will find endless stunning images of these stunning blooms growing along Lake Tekapo, halfway between Christchurch and Queenstown.

Summer Collection Launch 2017 | "San Francisco"
In the Summer of 1969, waves of free spirited people started arriving in San Francisco. Fed up with their government, consumerist values and the Vietnam War, more than 100,000 of them moved into the neighbourhood…
November Blooms to Make You Swoon
These gorgeous varieties are all just coming into season. We particularly love striking the blue Delphinium, soft pink Dogwood and of course Peonies! Although it can be difficult to find at the market, whenever we can source Dogwood we love using it in our "London" collection to give it additional height, especially when it is delivered in a tall vase.
Meet our latest design, "Fiji"
The name of our new floral design, which we call "Fiji", was inspired those gorgeous sky blue waters and pure white sands. But that's only half the story. Two weeks ago we received an order for a bespoke arrangement featuring just-in-season Delphiniums. Alba, one of our senior designers, put together this exact arrangement which was to be delivered to the Epworth Freemasons hospital in East Melbourne. It was at the Epworth that this story really began.
Why Do Women Like Flowers?
"What's the point of paying all this money for something that's just going to die in a few days?" Don't worry, if you're someone who thinks flowers are pointless, you're not alone. The irony here is that flowers' pointlessness is one of the things that women love about them. Though the idea of love is infinite, the gesture of giving a woman flowers is ephemeral and exciting.

Coloring Books Meet Mixed Media
The new Cloth, Paper Scissor's Coloring Book, Coloring Book Sketchbook, offers more than other coloring books. Not only does it offer various mixed media art techniques, but it is a collection of sketches from many different artists, including one of my sketches of an old Italian door. In her blog post, Jeannine Stein, shows how she uses mixed media to color my sketch of the door.
It was an honor to be asked to contribute sketches for the book and an honor to have Jeannine use mine sketch as a demo!

I would also spend some time checking out the tutorials that Andrew Devis has on the CreativeCow site. There are currently, just over 40 of these AE Basics tutorials. A few of them deal with Text, and a few with stills etc. Spend some time on the site, and I am sure you will find some tutorials that will assist you.
4. Re: Making a video out of picturesMylenium May 23, 2012 7:27 AM (in response to happi_S)
AE has text layers. That aside, Camtasia records video, not screenshots. Camtasia can also store live mouse coordinates in a metadata stream and attach any kind of cursor graphic you like. Camtasia can insert text as well as "callouts". Need I go on? Point in case: You are probably looking at the wrong tool trying to do this in AE. And even when you do, explore all options before writing it off. You really need to watch those basic tutorials and adapt your thinking rather than settling on a fixed workflow.

A LANDMARK pub which has stood for more than 250 years in Swinton is set to be demolished.
The Ship Inn dates back to the 1700s but has become a target for vandals ever since Rotherham Council bought the derelict site in 2009.
Former landlord Brett Jones launched an on-line petition called 'Abolish the Demolish' in a bid to save the building from destruction.
And Swinton councillor Ken Wyatt said this week it was a "great shame" to lose such a landmark.
But Rotherham Council ruled in a report that potential renovation costs would prove "exceptionally high."
It adds: "Not only is the site exceptionally draining costs, it is a health and safety hazard.
"It is proposed that the former public house be demolished and the land cleared of rubble and restored to an appropriate standard."
It is also proposed to re-build on the site at a later date.
Mr Jones accepted that the building had become structually unsafe.
He said "I am sad to see it go because it is a landmark in Swinton, but we have had to down our guns."
Councillor Wyatt said: "It is a great shame that a use could not be found for the building.
"But it does not meet modern design criteria in many ways.
"It was assessed for listing, but didn't meet the relevant criteria.
"There has been a lot of additions to the building over the years.
"I'm sad to see it go, but I'm afraid in this current economic climate we couldn't justify keeping it.
"The costs to keep it there as it is are very high. It is a shame."
Rotherham Council hopes to begin demolition work this month.


text: A very nicely conceived title that does not entirely cohere. The authors have compiled a lot of information about hummingbirds: their biological orders, families and species; their habits and patterns; their migrations and physical characteristics. They keep at the forefront what makes these tiny, strong, territorial flyers so fascinating and why they are so astonishingly beautiful (it's not the colors in the feathers, it's the way the feathers refract light, like a prism.) Each short chapter discusses a physiological or behavioral characteristic and presents a hummingbird legend or story, woven from various versions of tales from Navajo, Aztec, Taino and other indigenous peoples of the Americas. Yorinks has created all the illustrations with fabric collage—cotton, silk, paints, glitter—from small spots to double-page spreads in which the text floats on the images. The text does not always read smoothly, there is some repetition and the rather odd inclusion of a small quilt with the actor Alan Arkin's image (he's a hummingbird fan) that adds to the hodgepodge feel. (foreword, glossary, bibliography, hummingbird sanctuaries, art notes, index) (Nonfiction. 8-12)

And so it begins. The Wall Street Journal reports today that Google is about to get a visit from the FTC, with the agency carrying civil subpoenas, reportedly indicating it's about to start a "wide-ranging" investigation into whether the search giant used its behemoth status to illegally squelch competition.
As the WSJ notes, the FTC investigation…
…will examine fundamental issues relating to Google's core search advertising business, which still accounts for the overwhelming majority of its revenues. Those will include whether Google—which accounts for around two-thirds of internet searches in the U.S. and more abroad—unfairly channels users to its own growing network of services at the expense of rivals'.
I can't say that I'm shocked about this. Still, I don't think anyone in the tech industry wants more regulation. Yet, if the FTC investigation bears fruit, then not only will Google get more rules to live by, but there will likely be a spill-over effect, too, to other players in the industry.
Oh, well. The Internet was nice – and free – while it lasted. Uncle Sam was bound to extract his pound of flesh at some point. As the "public interest" lobbyists are wont to say – "The Internet is too important for companies to control." Of course, companies like Google didn't help themselves (or us) any by funding those loud groups, as well as pushing for Internet regulations like Net Neutrality, among other pro-government takeover activities.
I guess this is just a case of the chickens coming home to roost. Query – does the coop come equipped with an ethernet or a solid Wi-Fi connection?
More to come (sadly) …
PS – Curious. At the time of this posting, I still haven't seen one press release urging the strong use of antitrust law to protect consumers from the usual, "kick-the-evil-monopolies-in-any-way possible" crowd – like Public Knowledge, Free Press, CCIA, CDT, EFF, New America Foundation, OIC, etc.
What a game this is, huh?

Johnie`s Coffee ShopArt + Culture | 11 May 2016
In Los Angeles sits a restaurant where we all already had dinner at least once. Actually, maybe this is not entirely true. But we are sure that you know Johnie`s Coffee Shop. Not because you had a memorable meal there, although there`s a slight chance you did, but because you`ve seen it before.
The restaurant opened in 1956 as Romeo`s Times Square and had served food and coffee until it closed, in 2000. Nowadays, Johnie`s Coffee Shop is a "Hollywood`s restaurant". When a film director needs a restaurant or coffee shop with that 50`s California vibe he turns to Johnie`s.
Everything inside remains unblemished even though the restaurant has closed its doors for over 15 years. The lights are on, the tables are clean, the seats are polished. There`s just no one there.

Costco and JetBlue are dumping Amex, and that might affect you — even if you've never owned their cards.
Did you ever have one of those days in high school when you sat down for lunch and none of your friends wanted to join you? You'd sit by yourself, wondering what you did — until one of your remaining friends clue you in on the nature of your recent breach of adolescent protocol.
Then, there were times when you knew exactly what you did to upset your pals.
That's probably how it feels to be an American Express executive right about now. In recent weeks, its longtime "friends" Costco and JetBlue have announced they'll no longer partner with the credit card giant.
In the case of Costco, the breakup is especially troubling for Amex, since Costco didn't just offer a co-branded Amex card, it was the exclusive credit card partner of the warehouse retail giant. Customers could only use American Express credit cards at Costco, or debit cards from Visa and MasterCard. Now it's unclear if Costco members will even be able to use their Amex at all in 2016, when this 16-year-long friendship ends.
In fact, Costco currently accounts for around 10 percent of all the American Express cards issued in the United States, and nearly 20 percent of its purchase volume.
The JetBlue breakup is less important, but no less painful. The upstart carrier decided to end its 10-year relationship and move onto Barclaycard, which is part of the MasterCard payment network.
What's going on here?
Unlike high school, this isn't personal. It's all business. American Express charges retailers a higher merchant fee than Visa, MasterCard, or Discover. So it costs them more to accept American Express than other cards — sometimes as much as a full percentage point of sales.
Furthermore, it was somewhat of a coincidence that a U.S. district court judge recently ruled against American Express. It was a case against Amex's practice of forbidding retailers from saying they'd accept other cards, too. Basically, merchants want the right to mention; "We also accept Visa and Mastercard" when their customers whip out their Amex — but Amex forbids them from doing so.
What does this mean for you?
Many people have signed up for Amex just so they can use it at Costco; so they may decide to re-evaluate their loyalty next year when that card is no longer mandatory.
Personally, I'm a big fan of American Express cards; but not because they're accepted at Costco or because they're co-branded with JetBlue. I love their cards that offer "Membership Rewards" points as well as their Starwood Preferred Guest card — which I've deemed one of the best reward cards out there. These points can be transferred to airline miles with several different carriers.
In the future, Amex may be forced to lower its merchant fees. That means the rewards they offer would also be cut back. So what's a big win for Costco customers might be a big loss for reward-card geeks like me.

A really heart touching song about the differently abled people and their thoughts: feelings. You may don't understand the meaning, but you will feel it in the heart. ( see below for the meaning ) Must Watch
Listen, lend me your ears
listen to the murmur in my heart
petals silky soft in all shades awaken in the meadows
coldness of a drizzle peeps in to my heart
fragrance emanates form the virgin blossom
weaves my breath in to a motif...
Lulling and fluttering breeze
softly whispers in to my soul
why sorrow..... only joy
And love is everything
Infinite stars dispel the gloomy darkness before new moon
Are yours and all yours world brighten with that light
Is mine and all mine
Listen, lend me your ears,
listen to the murmur in my heart.

SudanвҖҷs president, Omer Al-Bashir, has received a congratulatory cable from the Russian president Vladimir Butin in which the latter congratulated Al-Bashir on his victory of a new term of office in the presidential elections.
In the cable, according to Sudan News Agency (SUNA) on Friday, The Russian president expressed his congratulations and hopes of success for president al Bashir in next phase, stressing his keenness to promote the relations of friendship and cooperation between the two countries in all domains.
Al-Bashir won re-election with 94% of the vote this month, according to official results released on Monday, extending his 25-year rule despite international war crimes charges and multiple insurgencies. The oil-rich South Sudan seceded in 2011.

I stumbled upon a new (to me!) challenge that me thinks has my name ALL over it! It's called the Sparkle and Shine Challenge! Yes, really! This week, the challenge is to make tags. I don't have the sequins suggested to play along, BUT I sure do like the looks of em--so I MUST pick some up for future challenges.
I happen to be designing some tags for an upcoming class, so here is one of the sets I came up with!
|I think they definitely need some sequins! ;)
The patterned papers and stamps are from the White Pines Scrapbook Workshop on the Go.
|My personal fave of the three...

Crooked and Narrow Streets: Annie Haven Thwing's "Old Boston" Scrapbook
I recently received a scrapbook from a friend moving away from Boston who needed to weed out her hefty book collection. She texted me a series of pictures of the books she was giving away, which included a Victorian volume with one word, "Scrapbook," emblazoned in gold on the cover. The book was large (usually a deterrent for me, since I don't have much room for books in my apartment either) and I didn't entirely know what I would find inside, but of course I wanted it. I was happy to add this mysterious book to my collection and excited about flipping through its pages to find out what was tucked away between its covers.
I was similarly excited about looking through the Annie Haven Thwing Scrapbooks. It was the printed collection guide that first piqued my interest, the title list of the scrapbooks indicating volumes on 'Old Boston,' 'Portraits,' and 'Friendly letters to A.H.T.' I decided to pull the volume for 'Old Boston' and see what treasures it contained. Inside I found maps of Boston, reviews of Thwing's book The Crooked and Narrow Streets of the Town of Boston, and a number of cut-out sketches and photographs of Boston.
What I found most interesting about these images, seemingly clipped from her own book as well as other publications, was the view they provide not just of Old Boston, but of lost Boston. A compilation of images depicting areas and buildings later demolished or destroyed, as well as maps of the city's shifting boundaries satisfied some curiosities I had intended to research (What did Louisburg Square look like in the past?), some I didn't realize I had (Who owned the pasture the State House was built on?), and raised others I have yet to thoroughly investigate: What's the story behind Smokers' Circle on Boston Common? The Water Celebration of 1848? The building replaced by the Boston Public Library? Thwing devotes several scrapbook pages to buildings and locations severely impacted by the Great Fire of 1872, highlighting the extent of destruction, damage, and change that such an event can precipitate. I certainly have enjoyed looking into these topics so far and will continue to do so.

The Water Celebration of 1848 on Boston Common, commemorating the introduction of water from Lake Cochituate to Boston.
The Samuel N. Brown House on the corner of Dartmouth and Blagden Streets, where the Boston Public Library now stands.
Artist's rendering of Boston after the Great Fire of 1872.
Annie Haven Thwing's interest in Old Boston, every crooked and narrow street, is captured in her scrapbooks and writings. Other volumes in the scrapbook collection include personal correspondence, letters regarding the publication of her book, obituaries, and portraits of notable American figures, British political figures, Civil War regiments from New England, and newspaper clippings regarding the activities of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. Visit the library to view the Annie Haven Thwing Scrapbooks and other collections to see what answers you can find to the questions and curiosities her clippings inspire. For a more detailed history of Old Boston from Thwing herself, read The Crooked and Narrow Streets of the Town of Boston online via the Internet Archive.

NJ's Clean Marinas
Residents and visitors are drawn to the exceptional diversity and value of New Jersey's marine and aquatic resources, including the Atlantic coastline, Delaware River and Bay, plus the state's freshwater lakes, tidal mudflats and deep ocean waters.
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) has developed and implemented a statewide Clean Marina Program to protect these critical habitat areas that are home to a variety of species including algae, plankton, shellfish and finfish. The program encourages marina owners, yacht clubs, boatyards and boaters to adopt practices that help prevent any adverse impacts to water quality, sensitive habitats and living resources in proximity to marinas.
Swimming, boating and fishing are important uses of New Jersey's waters. Recreational boating is becoming more popular each year and the Clean Marina Program will help prevent harmful environmental practices through education and outreach to boaters and marina owners. The program provides assistance and guidance to reduce the sources and impacts of pollution.
Currently DEP has certified 46 marinas around the state under the Clean Marina Program:

To the Editor:
Concerning the cleaning of our lakes. The Dept. of Natural Resources and the Dept. of Environmental Quality, when making decisions about cleaning the lakes, take into consideration what's beneficial to the fish, wildlife, and the environment - not the aesthetics to suit.
Be patient; the rains are coming. The big snows will be back, the lakes will rise, and most everybody will be happy.
Perhaps some prayer will help.

Experiencing a Whale Watching Tour in Sydney
One of my most memorable experiences during our travels has been whale watching. To see these enormous creatures launch majestically into the water is incredible. So when I was up to Sydney for work, I couldn't wait to catch the last of the humpback whale season with Oz Whale Watching tours.
Gathered at King St Wharf 9 at 8am, we were a group of about 20 people with cameras eager to catch a glimpse of a whale or two. Once on board we headed out through the Harbour guided by our host Biggles. Sydney of course put on perfect weather for our outing which enabled us to soak up many of her sights including Luna Park, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House.
Biggles' voice could be heard in the background as we cruised towards the heads, sharing a bit of history of Sydney and about the whales themselves.
During this time of year the humpback whales are making their way south, and sightings of mothers with their newborn calves can be had. This leg of their journey is a little slower than usual so the calf can keep up with the mother, so it does mean you can drift alongside them.
Sydney can get an impressive 20,000 humpback whales pass through each year from May to December. So the chances of have a sighting on or off boat are in your favour!
A breakfast buffet of sausages, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and the unpopular baked beans was served, along with tea, coffee and croissants. With choppy seas looming, I decided to have a small serve and forgo the massive breakfast others were tucking in.
As we made our way out through the heads, sea sickness set in for a few of my fellow whale watchers and one by one they started to make their way down to the lower levels of the boat. They may have been regretting those extra sausages and eggs they chugged down earlier! Thankfully, I had taken my trusty kwells after experiencing a little queasiness on a short ferry ride the day before.
As the lookout began for the majestic whales, Biggles encouraged passengers to be the first to spot a splash, blow of water or tail, and be rewarded with a free drink at the bar. Eyes were fixed on the expansive waters with people randomly pointing in the hope they had seen something.
Unfortunately for the thirsty ones, Biggles made the first sighting of two whales off Long Reef as he climbed up on top of the boat roof with a couple of crew. Slight advantage from their post with their binoculars and radios!
Nevertheless, a couple of whales were spotted ahead and the boat sped up to get within safe range. It was believed it was a mother and yearling, who were headed south where the mother would wean her young before it would join another group of juveniles. My fellow whale watchers launched across the other side of the boat, cameras poised ready to capture a 'Kodak moment'.
A small rise and a gentle splash of the tail and within seconds the whale had gone back under. It was under for about 8-9 minutes before rising again. It was impressive, but unfortunately for us these guys weren't too interested in showing off.
We cruised around for about an hour, trying to get on the same current as the whales for a better sighting. It was an act of remaining patient, eyes peeled for when the whales made an appearance. Then before anyone had their camera in focus, one of the whales launched into the air in a breach position. For its stunning display it was rewarded with a collective 'wow' from the passengers. Biggles unfortunately was looking the other way and missed the biggest sighting of the morning.
We drifted around for a little while longer, with a few small glimpses of the pair of whales before Biggles called it a day. While it was disappointing that we didn't get the interaction for the whale I had experienced once before, I appreciated the approach the Skipper and Biggles had taken.
While some whale watching companies choose to chase down the beautiful creatures, Oz Whale Watching are very conscious of trying to cause as little disturbance to the animals as they can. Biggles himself said they prefer to take a Green Peace approach and give the whales the respect they deserve. In fact, besides entanglement, a collision with a boat is the whale's greatest threat.
So we made our way back through the heads with Biggles giving us the guided tour while we took in the impressive scenery of Sydney. The day was truly beautiful and sitting on the deck of the boat is easily one of the best ways to see the city's beauty.
My previous experience with whale watching in Bryon Bay was very different, with plenty of whales who were clearly enjoying the attention. So whilst I was slightly disappointed these whales weren't that active, we were at the end of the season and it is just the luck of the draw. In fact, the afternoon tour had the pleasure of watching five humpback whales just off the middle of Sydney Heads near Bondi Beach. Thankfully the weather was perfect and it was a lovely way to take in the views.
Tips before you go on a whale watching tour
- Take sea sick tablets
Even if you think your stomach can handle it, take them just in case. You never know how rough it is going to be and there is nothing worse than feeling crap while trying to spot a whale.
- Apply sunscreen
It might seem obvious, but having only applied in the morning, I got a fair bit of colour after sitting up on the deck for five hours.
- Look for whales from land
Whale watching from a boat is the ultimate, but if you didn't have the best sighting it is well worth asking your guides from what cliffs you can see the whales. Chances are you will get a great view of them as they make their way on their journey.
- Put your camera down
Everyone wants to get that perfect photo, but be careful you don't spend the entire time looking through the camera lens. Enjoy the experience!
- Choose your tour wisely
It's a great gift that we are able to watch the whales, but it is so important we minimise the impact. I was pleased to hear Oz Whale Watching are committed to the conservation of the whales rather than just pleasing the tourists. After all, if the whales are discouraged from travelling into Sydney's waters, they will be out of business. Go early or in the middle of the season – as mentioned I have had some impressive sightings of whales in the past and it is suggested they are more active in the middle of the season than at the end.
Just a note: I was a lucky guest of Oz Whale Watching for this tour, however all opinions and recommendations are my own.

Oli loves hats and socks — especially handmade socks. He is very particular about the toes on socks bunching up in his shoes and hand knit socks have no seams at the toe. The few pairs I've made him are worn over and over and over. Last week, I finally made him another pair.
This morning, he was gleeful as he hopped and skipped around in new socks.
And because I had a small bit of leftover yarn, I made these:
The teeniest, tiniest pair of baby socks. Despite his best efforts they would not squeeze on Oli's feet further than his toes. They will be set aside for a baby gift. May the baby who gets them have feet as busy and happy as my little boy.

This is a place which closely connected with the events of the Second World War and with the Great Stalingrad Battle – it is the glorified Mamayev Hill with its "memorial complex "To the Heroes of the Stalingrad Battle".
Prevailing over the main part of the city, Mamayev Hill is marked on the maps as Height-102,0 and it was the main chain in the system of defense of the Stalingrad front. It also turned out to be the key position in the fight for the banks of the Volga. Fierce battles took place here during the last months of 1942. The ground of the hill was plowed up by bombs, missiles and mines. The soil got mixed together with the fragments of metal. This is the place of the numerous human losses… Right here, in the area of Mamayev Hill, on the 2nd of February of 1943 the Stalingrad Battle was finished.
The name of Mamayev Hill, according to the legend, comes from the name of a Tatar military commander Mamay.
Along the serpentine, in the ground of the hill, there was made a reburial or the remains of 34 505 soldiers - defenders of Stalingrad, and also there can be found 35 granite tombstones of the Heroes of the Soviet Union, participants of the Stalingrad Battle.
the Square of "Those who Fought to Death"
Ruined Walls
Two ruined walls frame these five-marched stairs. The authors of this project had an idea of building two huge walls forming a corner and joining in perspective – so imagined ruins of the constructions demolished under the long firing and numerous bombing, damaged by the mines and automatic shooting – these walls witnessed the vigorous battles of the winter of 1942-1943. The spirit of the Stalingrad Battle and emotional mood of its participants are expressed in the images of the ruins and sculptural compositions.
Theme of the left wall shows the oath of the Stalingrad Defenders – "Not a single step back!" and the theme of the right wall is the Stalingrad Battle itself – "Moving only forward!" Ruined walls are equipped with the sound system, which plays songs of the period of war, news from the front line and reports of the information bureau.
In front, the Square of the Heroes is framed by a huge supporting wall with a strongly carved drawings on the topic of heroic battle of soviet soldiers and celebration of the victory over the invaders.
The Statue is the centerpiece of the Mamayev Kurgan museum complex in Volgograd, built to commemorate the World War II Battle of Stalingrad, a key turning point in the War. The statue stands atop Mamal Hill, the site of the battle's most intense fighting.

Another overcast day, so photos not the greatest I'm afraid.
First off a fairly simple card that has a burst of colour and is, I'm pretty sure, the first time I have used the bird stamp from this set. I cased this one from my upline Marelle.
Materials used:
- stamps - Elements of Style, Word Play
- card - crumb cake, very vanilla, chocolate chip, wild wasabi patterned paper
- other - dimensionals, square lattice embossing folder, Big Shot
Secondly a soft, pretty card with EOS embossed in the background. Again cased (told you my mojo was absent!), this time from Tania.
Materials used:
- stamps - Elements of Style, Word Play
- card - basic grey, pool party, whisper white textured
- other - white embossing powder, heat tool, Big Shot, dimensionals
- non SU - nestabilities die, Kaiser paper rose, Floral Punch rose leaf and embossing punch, Kaiser pearls
Our third project is a lovely vintage-style card. I used the matching Beau Chateau papers for this, but of course you could stamp the image if you didn't have the papers. (Inspired by a card seen but original artist unknown.)
Materials used:
- stamps - Elements of Style,
- card - marina mist, very vanilla, early espresso
- other - decorative label punch, very vanilla seam binding, vintage brads, dimensionals
- non SU - bow tying machine
And as a special bonus this month we're also making a cute little purse with the Petite Purse die - not long now until we'll know if it's coming in our new catalogue! Fingers crossed!
Materials used:
- stamps - Elements of Style
- card - basic black, daffodil delight
- other - petite purse die, Big Shot, neutrals brads, sticky strip
Don't you just love this stamp set? I know I do.
Thanks for stopping by.

Real Reviews from Satisfied Customers
Add your review and valued feedback (your contact email and phone number will not be displayed)
Submit your review
Called Heatpac after seeing the ad in the paper regarding free boiler, within 3 weeks of the call and 2 visits including an Epc (free) I had a brand new A rated boiler and it didn't cost me a penny. As brilliant as they were with my cavity wall insulation. Brilliant job.
Free cavity wall and loft insulation what more can I say, I work 42 hours a week and I'm entitled to someone free, unbelievable. Brilliant service.
Would like to take the time to thank Heatpac for there efforts to help a personal nightmare of mine, cavity wall insulation removal. It had been insulated wrongly in the 90's but the company who did it had gone under. Heatpac called out and removed this old brown insulation and refilled with new white insulation. House immediately feels warmer. I did a lot of research and put faith in Heatpac. It paid off!
Called a local company up for a quote for cavity wall insulation, they called out within the same week and informed me I was elibable to receive free cavity wall insulation and free loft insulation saving me a small fortune and making my house toasty. Thanks again Mike and Ashley and Heatpac
Would just like to say how good the service of Heatpac was, my boiler broke down over the weekend, made an enquiry on the Saturday and I had all my documents to hand upon survey, within 3 days I had brand new boiler. Amazing turn around.. I think it was due to my child as to how quick the turnaround was but none the less smashing.
Thanks for your professionalism dealing with my current situation, made me feel at ease and knowing it's a family's run business made me so happy and put a lot of confidence. Also really chuffed to find that you also have an mot garage at your warehouse that's been trading for so long, I'll be taking my car here from now on also.
Highly recommend, boiler for only £100 contribution. £100 for a new BOILER!!! Unbelievable. British Gas can whistle for there quoted £3200 for the same job. Brilliant company, open 40 years and even better still a local family run company, love the idea of supporting and using local. I'll be telling everyone.
So glad I researched a little and read some reviews.. Can't speak highly enough of the Heatpac team... So lovely, nice staff and the company is family owned which is rare in today's world. If like me your researching I can't recommend this company enough. They even cleaned the garden and my coffee cups lol. Thanks again
Arrived on time started immediately although the installer was on his own at first he had completed the back and washed down.
Then after a cup of brew he started on the front again on his own.
what gave me confidence was the fact that this company was founded in 1976 and the installer had 30 years experience.
An excellent job done and I would recommend this local company anytime.
Alan Warden.
Surprised to read that we were entitled to free cavity wall and loft insulation through a grant as we both work. Heatpac called out promptly and identified the works required.within two weeks we had our home ready for the winter also a new up to date energy performance certificate completely free. Thanks again to the installers and Heatpac in general.

Botanical silhouettes
Art direction and design for a story on botanical silhouettes for the March 2011 issue. Beautiful projects created by crafts editors Silke Stoddard and Athena Preston, styling by Tanya Graff, and photography by Roland Bello, who was so wonderful to work with. I really wanted to incorporate the headline into one of the projects, so I cut out the letters of the word "nature," Silke made multiple sunprints of the flowers and the type, and we shot the fabric being rinsed in water. Here is a behind-the-scenes video of our photo shoot (video by Philip Leaman) that was created for our ipad issue, which can be purchased here.

In a world in which the balance of power in the marketplace has shifted from seller to the customer, it is becoming increasingly more difficult for church leadership to move a Customer-centric culture at home into a more Mission-centric culture in the church. This contemporary shift in the marketplace is making the role of governing leadership in the church all the more critical.
In many churches, especially those with elder oversite, the only explicit feedback mechanisms alluded to in their constitutions are vertical. There are no explicit feedback mechanisms from the member/attendee, i.e. the people for whom the work is being done. This is not to say that members are formally excluded from sensing a "Tension" from failure to meet member needs of which they happen to become aware and then take action to resolve that "Tension". But, it is also true that the explicit focus of many church constitutions is entirely internal to the leadership team. The 'non-leadership team' member or attendee is simply not in the picture.
When so much time and effort of the leadership team is spent on the micro-details of the internal decision-making mechanisms of a church and little discernible attention given to any external feedback mechanisms, one could easily get the idea that the internal mechanisms are supremely important while the member is irrelevant. Unless and until this "gap" is rectified, leadership in the local church risks being a distraction from the central organizational challenge of our times, namely, how to help the church to be more able to add value to its members.
In this highly customer-centric culture 'transformational innovation' becomes the current big challenge for church leadership.
Transformational innovation is difficult because it continually changes the way we live and 'do' church. Most churches are loath to pursue ideas that will make them change. Unfortunately, this is one of the reasons that they die. The computer and entertainment electronics industries have been prime examples of this. How many of us have audio 8-track machines, cassette players, videotape cameras, recorders and players, bag phones, clunker desktop computers, etc. sitting in our basements?
I am not writing about church growth. This article is about church health and the ability of the local church to effectively equip and add value to its members so that they will accomplish the mission of the church now and in the future. Church leaders today, more than ever, must realize the need to innovate in order to to maintain and accelerate their missional efforts. They cannot rely solely on past momentum to achieve their ambitions.
Soliciting innovative ideas from various sources is a must. Discovering the best of these ideas is critical. Here are four good practices for improving idea quality for transformational innovation:
Define the problem before brainstorming solutions – Guide leaders to collectively agree on the problem first, in order to generate the most effective solutions.
Enable members to self-assess ideas to improve idea quality – Teach members to self-assess the quality of their own ideas by using simple yet objective criteria to improve the quality of the idea pool, while freeing up leadership time for prioritization decisions.
Actively manage social media to refine ideas – Use social-media platforms to allow members, attendees and other interested parties to virtually share, assess, and refine ideas.
Motivate well-connected network partners to provide their ideas for your church – ask closely partnered neighborhood churches, fellow denominational churches, partnered social-concern agencies who share vested interests, etc. to bring high-quality ideas.
These practices identify and find solutions; and, they provide a clearly defined mechanism for member involvement through a targeted inquiry system that identifies the problem and ensures participant feedback.
Leaders who are thinking innovation will provide an ongoing, time-saving feedback mechanism that allows for rapid and interim changes to ideas based on valued perspectives from members, attendees and partners. Obviously, there will be idea prioritization filters that combine internal feedback with strategic considerations such as mission statement, alignment to strategy, etc.; but, by tapping the collective wisdom of church members, attendees and partners, churches can source better ideas for transformational innovation.
Once Implemented, these innovative ideas can result in member appreciation; greater member equipment and involvement; and, raving excitement that spills out into the neighborhood in the form of contagious missional living and conversion growth.
Wouldn't it great to see the day when all churches realize they can have a successfully missional church where their members love coming to church, are happy and engaged, who are growing in their faith, are active in their outreach and whose neighbors and communities are thankful they are there!

Etiquette and Decoupage

That frame is so cute and I like the name Graceful Gifts too...it's very sweet.
As far as etiquette goes...I am a total etiquette person. But that being said, I realize that not everyone is, so I try to be gracious and meet people on their level. For example, I know that some friends really value receiving a thank you card. I always make a point to send them one. For others who don't care one way or the other I'm not as concerned about it. It's kind of the love language idea. Does that make sense?

So funny you wrote a/b this b/c I just told someone the other day that "Angie Luce always sends thank you notes..."!!! You do.
Etiquette is important to me, tho I miss the boat a ton I'm sure. I've come to the conclusion that I need to be concerned more with being considerate than I do with being a etiquette-ly proper, if that makes sense.
OH MY! Such cute frames! Love them!

Regarding T-Y notes. We have moved 9 times in 8 years due to work requirements. In this last move I found a stack of pretty envelopes...hmmm...all addressed...hmmm... when I looked closer? OMG!!! 22 TY cards from our wedding in July of 2000. NEVER SENT. Still had $.32 stams on them.
It never concerns me when I don't recieve TY cards either - most of the time I feel bad that the person felt an obligation to take the time to do it...

The word canteen (store in a military camp) comes from the French cantine from the Italian cantina (wine cellar, vault) from the Latin canto (corner), which derives from the Greek word canthos (canthus, corner of the eye; Gr: κανθός).
In modern Greek (Romeika, Rumca):
a) canthos: Gcanthus [Gr: κανθός]
b) cantina: canteen [Gr: καντίνα; loanword ]

So we stayed in our PJ's and watched pbs kids. And then Abigail wouldn't take her morning nap. And then she was really cranky. So then I gave her my phone to play with because that never ceases to bring silence. But then I couldn't find my phone. Then I found my phone.
Wedged in the depths of the recliner. And when I say wedged, I mean WEDGED. Like it would NOT budge. I was pretty ready to accept the fact that my phone was entombed in the recliner and that's where it would rest. But after about 15 minutes of different angles of pushing and pulling and wiggling, I got my phone out.
Only to see the touch screen has a huge chunk taken out. This phone relies heavily on the touchscreen and pretty much doesn't work at all without it. So I have no phone.
Oh and while I was moving the chair around to get to my phone I found a squished BLACKBERRY. Not like the phone, but the real fruit, that stains incredibly bad, blackberry. Smushed into the carpet. I have no idea how long it's been there. I'm pretty sure any attempt at removing the stain is going to be futile. But I'll try.
And it's still snowing. A lot. So that means no mom/nanny-funness happening this weekend.
So let's recap - sick me, sick Olivia, broken phone, lots of snow, ruined carpet, and no mommy. :(
(Sorry mom, not trying to guilt trip you - it's bad out there, it's good you're not coming.)

At the first meeting of the Tontitown City Council this month, the City Attorney was directed to prepare an ordinance on nonfeasance, a step that eventually could lead to removal from office of Mayor Joe Edgmon or any other local official not doing their jobs. Alderman Scott McNair brought up the ordinance after an argument between Edgmon and Building Official Shane Harrison. Apparently Mayor Edgmon wanted to terminate Harrison, who said, "I just want to come do my job to the best of my ability and not have to worry about the knives being thrown at my back."
Last Friday, Mayor Edgmon fired Code Enforcement Officer Harrison because he said it had become difficult for the two men to continue working together. "It got to the point where we were at an impasse," Edgmon said. "It's too difficult for us to work together on things. He feels like he's being harassed and just his overall demeanor with my office... I felt like it was time." The Mayor's action came as quite a surprise to everyone, including City Attorney Mark Dossett who said the mayor could under
It wasn't really a legal issue, it was a political one, and The Decider met the Over Riders. The City Council voted unanimously to reverse the firing and rehire
The smart money is not betting on Mayor Edgmon. He seems to think he can run the city unilaterally without the trust, confidence, support, and cooperation of the City Council. Whether he is lacking in management skills or political sense, the result will always be the same if the Council is committed to fulfilling its role and doing its job.

The Modern American Family: The "New" Normal That Really Isn't…
I came across an article today that I just couldn't quite let go of:
Unfortunately, this is all-too-familiar news to an incredibly rapidly growing number of Americans… of every race, gender, nationality, and age group. Speaking for myself, I can tell you that I am 5 years in to my own membership of that 80% club, and – given those numbers – any further lamentations on the issue(s) of what it's like, or how it feels, or just what changes and adjustments and adaptations one has had to make in their lives, would be little more than preaching to the choir.
But I would be remiss if I didn't talk a bit about the effect these troubled times is having on us, or the sacrifices we have had to make, or the lessons we have had (or should have been made by now) to learn, in the wake of what I believe is the "Great American Decline".
Note that I didn't say "Depression".
Where, back then, there was a prevailing sense of 'all hope being lost', I still believe that, so far at least, the bulk of us continue clutching on to our 'hope' for a brighter future… if not for us then, at least for our children and grandchildren.
Mistakenly (near as I can tell) attributed to Thoreau or Emerson (among others), this quote from stockbroker Henry S. Haskins is as good a place to start as any:
"What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
And I think it's what lies within us that is the real story in America today, despite the news inside the AP article which focuses so much on identifying and classifying victims while assessing all the ways in which things can be given to them, by the Government, once the Government has finished taking them from others who they determine can afford to have them taken away.
Now, this is not the place to digress on matters of policy and populism; mine is the goal of bringing to light all that we are accomplishing despite the odds against us.
When I was growing up, it was still normal for older adult children from my Mother's generation (born in or around the Depression) to be living with their Parents or even their Grandparents. Whatever the reason, from the need to live at home to provide elder care, to not having sufficient financial resources of their own, to the matter of needing to pool resources just to survive, it just seemed "normal" for multi-generational families to live together. Further, as a pre-teen, I just assumed that's what people did… I never stopped to ponder the deeper issues of how closely the Depression drew its survivors together, or what they knew – first hand – about poverty and how hard life could get. It just was.
But something happened through the 70's and 80's and 90's and 00's; things changed. For a host of reasons the economy grew, millionaire became a household word, and – everywhere you turned – there was a new success story about somebody or other making something or other and getting rich… almost overnight.
And the kids grew up, and moved far away, and made lots of money… and families diversified and dispersed in as many different directions as there were roads and highways and helicopters and private jets to carry them.
It's important to remember, though, that for all we've come to know – deep down inside – about the folly of glorifying someone who is really no better than the rest of us (once the bright lights are dimmed, and they – like us – hug their Mom, or kiss their spouse, or read a bedtime story to their child), we are to blame for getting drawn in and sucked down… we are the ones that lost our connections to our roots.
The good news, if there is any in the current climate, is that we never stopped clutching… to our hopes and our dreams, and to the family and friends and loved ones that have always been a part of what made us who we are; Americans, rich and poor, are who we were before the decline began, and who we remain to this very day. Our foibles and our drawbacks and our weaknesses and our strengths are little-changed. There's hope in that.
And so, after a couple generations of boom followed by the bust we're in now, many of us are back home (or have moved the old folks in with us), rekindling the family fires, reacquainting with the traditions we let get away from us for a spell, and are being reminded again of where we came from, who we are, and how we'll muddle through until things turn around.
As Marcus Aurelius once said:
Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.
And where's the bad, I ask you, in getting all the kooky Aunts and Uncles and Grandmas and Grandpas all back together again under one roof? What could possibly be more fun than a never-ending family reunion where you can check out, but you can never leave?

I mean, her brother is really cool (we hang out a lot). He calls me "Oi". I call him "Punk." Basically, we do everything together.
His sister is a little hard to get to know. She hasn't spoken to me yet, but that's okay. I understand shy. And she's gorgeous. The kind of girl you stop and stare at.
Her name is Eva.
This is my niece.
A birthday for her brother on Tuesday, and, come Thursday, another birthday!
Her brother (the afore mentioned lad) wasn't a hundred percent sure of this bundle of softness. He said, "Soft and wet." And refused to touch her. That's okay, because his aunties were quite happy holding. her When they could beg turns off grandma, grandpa, and the proud parents.
Let's just say, we were a room full of giddy relatives, grinning like cheshire cats.
Except for my nephew. He sort of smiled, and grimaced, and played trains. And ate. He offered the baby a sandwich.
She said no thanks.
"So the real question is, cait, when do I get to hold her?"
"Ah. Never? Mine."
I'm a pluralized aunt!! (These are my only two niece/nephewlings.) So I can still say I have a favourite nephew. And now, a favourite niece.
She is super cute and, see, I told you I had a hunch. I've found a new friend.

Doggone it! The Georgetown Maine annual auction at the Five Islands Station is on July 11 this year...and of course that's when I'm due to fly home from almost 3 weeks at our great waterfront cottage just a few minutes down North End Road. This auction was my first experience with a live auction and I look forward to it every year. Mainers have lots of interesting stuff in their barns and it ends up at this auction... My list of buys include:
-a gas grill with a rodent nest that ended up at the transfer station
- a rabbit hutch we drove home 3000 miles - our bunny loved it but we looked like the Beverly Hillbillies for sure
- a collection of Harry Potter books on tape that have given my daughter hours of enjoyment
- some antique linens that probably saw many ladies play bridge, and now grace my bunco tables
- a wicker settee that looked cute but flaked paint and lasted a few seasons
- a custom name paint job for our boat that my husband never had done (I wonder if it expires?)
- a Hopper print that graces our cottage wall whose frame is worth more than I paid, but is matted in a slightly odd way
- a limited edition lighthouse serving tray from Georgetown Pottery
I'm small time at this auction...I'll never forget the year that the Moorings B&B was furnishing their place - they spent thousands...or all of the original artwork...and the dinghies, canoes, and even a sailboat now and then.
All proceeds benefit the Geoergetown Maine VOLUNTEER fire department who have saved many at Reid State Park. You can always count on some great live lobster packages, or just visit one of our in the rough lobster joints after the auction. Maine governors and officials have been known to auctioneer as well!
Where: Just left off 127 on Five Islands Road.
When: July 11 9 am.
Get there early to preview the merchandise or get the best of the White Elephant and bake sale. Buy a few chances for the Georgetown Working League's one of a kind quilt. To donate items (not stoves, fridges, washers, a/c, used mattresses) call David Knauber at 207-371-2020. Deadline is just a few days before the auction - so clean out the barn now!
