National Novel Writing Month

I've been busy this month doing NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month.

The write club that I work with at school has ten girls interested in writing stories for NaNoWriMo and they have committed to writing 3,000 by the end of the month. I've been doing entries over at my teacher librarian blog.

I, however, have committed to the 50,000 (of course). Not sure if I will get there but I am going to give it a try. I have a few ideas for my story, so lets see if I can get there.

But that doesn't mean that I am not creative. I've been busy making little quote cards for the students that they can use as inspiration to keep writing and of course button badges.

Highway to the Danger Zone

I had a lot of fun coming up with things to put on these button badges for a friend's 40th. For his birthday he took a joy flight in a Strikemaster in Tasmania, so it seemed appropriate to continue the theme when we were thinking of a present.

Did you know that it is Top Gun Day on Friday May 13th. Here is the Facebook link, and the twitter link. Along the same lines as talk like a pirate day .. but cooler!

What would you have written on your Top Gun badge?

Button Goodness

I braved the Australasian Quilt Convention yesterday with Nicholas, but I haven't gotten around to writing a blog post and processing all the pictures that I have taken. I got a tooth extracted on Thursday and well, I am still very very sore :-(

Just a reminder that I have a market tomorrow. It's more of a gigantic garage sale than a makers market, but it will be a good day. Tori has been excitedly helping me make some button badges to take along, she has worked out how to use the machine herself.
