A New Invention

You remember that old ad for 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner - "Why take two bottles into the shower?" Dais has just invented her own new product, and it looks set to revolutionise the beauty industry.



My hobby is scrapbooking, and I find it really relaxing to spend an evening (and sometimes even a weekend) with my scrapping pals, licking and sticking, playing with pretty papers and creating keepsakes and memories for the kids to look back on when they have children of their own. We all have boxes of photos from our own childhood, but couldn't really tell you where we were, when it was, who was in the pictures or what we were doing there. Journalling on the layouts about the little things helps to preserve some of the "moments in time" that can easily become forgotten amidst all the noise of the early parenting years.



For this reason, I have more than my fair share of glues, inks, stamps and all manner of items that Dais can use to redocorate ordinary household items. The discipline is often referred to as "Altered Art" - turning a plain box into a keepsake, redecorating a notebook - you get the idea.



Dais has taken to this form of art with gusto and most of our house has now been "altered". Her current favourite medium are my acrylic dabbers - especially the copper one. She has nearly finished the playroom now.



Anyway, this week's new discovery is a pre-inked stamp in bright pink that can be applied directly to the lip area. The world's first truly "all day lipstick" Clever girl Dais!
