i'm sure everyone is aware of the recent floods that have devastated queensland...tens of thousands of homes and businesses have been affected (probably many more), lives were lost and homes were destroyed...and no-one even knows how many wild and domestic animals or livestock were lost.
it is a tradgedy. i myself have donated as much as i could afford, but i feel like i should do more. so i have put together a "marelle mega-pack" of handmade items from my "marelle" store to auction off to the highest bidder!
the "marelle mega-pack" is valued at well over $100, so i want to see a mega bidding war!! ...the winning bid will be donated 50/50 to the Premier's Flood Relief Appeal and the RSPCA flood appeal

**plus free postage of your "marelle mega-pack" !!!!**
***please note that colours on your screen may differ from actual colours of items***
here's how it works:

memories...
captured on my 'holga' camera
today i found some long lost photo negatives tucked away in an old shoebox which was stuffed full of odds 'n ends & forgotten about in the back of a cupboard!!
so after dragging them out, i scanned them in and did some (amatuer!) photo editing (they're shots i took of my old dog 'stella', i think i took these in about 2004/5 - so not that long ago really) ...because holga cameras produce lots of irregularites, i had to adjust the lightness, contrast & colour ...blah blah...i could go on, but it would probably bore you!
i just wanted to share them, so here they are!
...anyway i'm so happy that i found these negatives! ....i still really miss her! ...she was funny and smart!

smothered!
oh, it's just a little bit of dust, that's all!
yeah! only about FIVE MILLION TONNES!! haha! can you believe it???
it was truly amazing... as the dust storm rolled in yesterday, there was a really eerie orange glow & it was really windy - it was a bit unsettling i thought. this is a photo out the back of my place... i'd love to see your photos, if you were lucky enough to be smothered as well!!
