Paper Adventure '08 #9 and COL

Take it or leave it......

(No seriously, take this operation or leave it.)
Advice. The "you should..."'s and the "I wish someone would have told me...."'s. We inadvertently give and receive advice all day every day. Most interactions between any two people involve some form of suggestion.
So this week, document a piece of advice.
Advice you took. Advice you did not take. Advice you should have took. Advice you gave. Advice you wish you could have gave. Think big, think little. Think wardrobe, think new career.
Please just think. And write. I recommend it.

That's Elise's Operation for this week, and it can be a pretty hard one!

But, I took it, and wrote about it, as I do on all the Operations.

It is funny actually, I just took my own experience with getting advice about one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make. A lot of my operations come down to our move to Canada, and believe it, I really needed lots of advice about that!

Then after lunch, I joined the COL (crop on line) with other members of the Dutch Freestyle group. That was fun! You had 2 choices, either do something really freestyle with a house, or lift a layout with specific colors, this time, black and white. That's really something for me, this was the layout we could lift;

This was what I started with;

And this is how it turned out;

And here's the story that goes with it! Last Saturday, Anouk, my youngest, had polished her nails black and white! In the afternoon she got a haircut and showed her nails to Amy, the hairdresser. She suggested that she'd make POLKA-DOT NAILS and.... so she did! I just had to take pictures of it, and Anouk sat patiently with her hands in front of her!

Then later that day, or Sunday, I forgot, one of the members of the Freestyle group showed the black and white lift layout!!! That was just too good to be true, I had to lift that one! So thanks Jacq, I had so much fun with it!
