Pakenham Picture to Page - why you should spend Sunday here

I just helped at Picture to Page yesterday, and we're on again today.

Here's why you should be popping down to the Cardinia Cultural Centre today:

There's make and takes - with a view! Our gorgeous room overlooks the lake.

There's fancy papercraft stuff you might not have seen before...

There's elephants (this was the Kasazz make and take from yesterday)...

There's paint and Gelli Plates (I'll be likely to be demonstrating these today)...

There's more pretty stuff you might need...

Mixed Media Art have those stamps you need (even the bird ones)...

Kids area (hey, how did they get the cool view!)...

And whenever the boss is looking the other way, I get to use the goodies on our stand, and make another tag. When asked nicely, I DO give them away.

Roadside toy alert

I've been on a mission in recent months to spot and photograph toys on the roadside. Time to collate them here.

We started with this doll strung up in a tree by the Eastern Freeway, near Hoddle street.

That was quickly followed by the perplexing sheep's horn...

Closer to home I found Little Barbie resting after a night out...

And just this week we added Prudence the Pig, seen inbound on the Eastern Freeway, just after the Doncaster Road exit.

You see, children, there's magical things out there to look at, if you just keep your eyes open.
