How to Stay Young
HOW TO STAY YOUNG
You need to read this one over and over until it becomes part of who you are !
1. Try everything twice. On one woman's tombstone she said she wanted this epitaph: "Tried everything twice. Loved it both times!"
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)
3. Keep learning:Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever...Never let the brain get idle.'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.And if you have a friend who makes you laugh,spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.
6.. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. LIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever..Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it.If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips..Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county,to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

A surprise parcel
I'm a member of an ATC swap group called JAV and we mostly have swaps once a month where one of the organisers sets a theme and then you add your name to the list if you want to participate.
Lately we've had a couple of open themed Frenzy swaps where everyone makes however many cards they want to and they are put up on the blog then on a certain day you go in and email around your requests.
However this month Annette sent out an email asking us which medium we prefer to work in eg paints, stamps, mixed media, fabric, papercraft etc and said this month we would be getting a surprise. I replied saying that I worked mostly in papers, stamping, inks etc but have tried all types so I was happy to go with whatever. We all thought she would then just set the theme from the answers she received.
However in the mail this week I received a "surprise" parcel with three little packages named Jovial, Antique and Vivid in it along with a list of three members and the instruction that I was to make 3 ATC's and send them off to the people listed by the 1st September. We can add paint, inks, stamps etc as well.
Don't you love a collection of goodies?

Relay for Life
Last Saturday night Relay for Life was held here in the showgrounds starting in the late afternoon and going right through to the next morning.
At the last minute one of my friends joined a team and asked if I wanted to as well. I signed up but said I could only stay until midnight.
Relay for Life is a fundraiser for the Cancer Council and I have to say it was fantastic and very well organised. Each team is asked to raise money prior to the event and you can do things there to boost your final amount. Lots of teams were selling chocolates, raffle tickets etc and it was a real party atmosphere.
The other main part of it is that someone from your team has to be out on the walking track at all times going around and around. The Police team had far too much energy and they were running laps.
We also took part in the candle lighting ceremony which is held just on dusk and everyone get a Hope bag. It's a paper bag that you write a message on. It could be to a loved one that you've lost or is fighting a battle with cancer or just a general message for the universe. You then put some sand in the bottom of it and put a tealight candle in it which is lit and they're placed around the track.
It was fantastic to see so many people participating and getting behind the event. After all most of us have been touched by someone we know getting cancer.
Oh and yes it was freezing and they're moving it to a later month next year. See you there.

The Pyjama Foundation fundraiser
I just received this email and thought it sounded like a fantastic event to support.
This is the Wide Bay Pyjama Foundation major function for the year. Tickets to attend are on sale now $40.00 per person includes a smorgasbord lunch, fashion parade by Vovo Modelle, fashion, beauty and homewares displays, raffles and auction.
The Pyjama Foundation needs to sell 100 tickets – you are invited and please encourage friends and family to attend also. You can purchase tickets from me – Cressida on 0417761593 or by emailing me at cressida@thepyjamafoundation.com or at Nathans Boutique at 23 Targo St Bundaberg. I have also attached a poster for those who maybe able to print it and put it up in your workplace or on a noticeboard nearby in the aim to attract as many as possible.
Prizes – if anyone is able to donate a prize or knows of someone (including businesses) that I can approach for a donation for the auction please let me know ASAP.
Raffle - "Gift of Angels"
This painting ("Gift of Angels") is by local 14 year old Chern'ee Sutton and it reflects the great work The Pyjama Angels do for our young people. The raffle will be drawn at the Charity Fashion Parade. Tickets are $2.00 each or 3 for $5.00. You can purchase raffle tickets from me – Cressida on 0417761593 or by emailing me at cressida@thepyjamafoundation.com or at Nathans Boutique at 23 Targo St Bundaberg.
Gift of Angels
This painting is called “Gift of angels” and is dedicated to all the members of the “pyjama foundation”.
In my painting the hands and large balls represent the “Gift of Angels” which is given by you, the smaller orange and yellow dots represent the children you help. The gift you give does not only spread through them to others it is electrifying, passing again and again from every person it comes into contact with.
Now put on the glasses and see the elevated stance and outlook the children have on life, thanks to you.
I have just started to learn this new 3D technique from a local well known indigenous artist and elder, I hope you like my painting as this is the first 3D of many in an ever lengthening journey.
By Chern’ee Sutton

Selling Price – Donated to the Pyjama Foundation June 2011.

Saturday
Saturday was the Isis Kindy Ladies Afternoon Out fundraiser. It was held in the Cultural Centre in Childers which is right in the main street. The weather wasn't too promising with light showers all the way down there and it was a little cool plus a car accident just as you get into town which slowed the traffic down to a stop.
Charlene and I had decided to treat it as a day out and a chance to catch up as well as trying to sell some products and let people know about my website. So we had left early to have a coffee and go for a stroll but when the traffic stopped we parked as soon as we could and headed into the Drunk Bean for the best scones you've ever tasted.
At least most of my stock is in plastic containers so it didn't get wet while we were unloading it. The organizers did a fantastic job to get a range of stalls and the fashion parade was great with lots of clothes I wanted to buy. They had two entry prices and the $25 included 3 beauty treatments which was fantastic value. Lots of yummy food, tea & cofee and an open bar. I only took a few photos before the start.

9-07-11 PCYC Markets tomorrow
Just a little reminder that the PCYC markets are on tomorrow between 8am and 12pm and I know the wind was a little cold this morning but I'm in the hall so it's cosy.
If you like the look of the Wild Rose Stamps here is a card I made with Faye with Flower, they really do come up very nice.
