Things to do... We will go to the Vauxhall School fair here in Devonport. Camera will come along too... as usual. The fair is on Sunday 21 May, from 10am.
And it was great, and beautiful day too, perfect for a school fair! Little kids and big kids having a wonderful time. And in the afternoon Tim Finn was performing too! Just great, as usual. And on tour soon... 'Split Enz' tour.
New artist: Eion Bryant. Eion lives on Auckland's North Shore...
Eion creates artworks of New Zealand scenes. Check it out.
The wedding... will be in September... Jody and Robin from Australia were looking for wedding cards and contacted us. We gave them another website that sold NZ flavoured cards. But alas, no contact details and/or email address there, so Jody came back to us and we offered to create a wedding card for them. Jody selected the colours and the images of the three koru she wanted on the card.
We do quite a bit of webdesign (our own site is a great example isn't it) and we sometimes receive a request for print work.

It'll be Anzac Day on Tuesday 25 April. We will go to the Devonport service.
ANZAC DAY in New Zealand is held on 25 April each year to commemorate New Zealanders killed in war and to honour returned servicemen and women.
Poppy Day is held on the Friday before Anzac Day. The proceeds from the poppies go to the Royal New Zealand Returned and Services’ Association (RSA) to support returned servicemen and women and their dependents.
The red poppy – or Flanders poppy – is an international symbol of remembrance for those killed on the battlefield.
