About Me
New to Digital Scrapbooking, just started in 2019, want to make a record of family stories before my mother passes away. My dad died in 2016. I currently live in Canada but was born and raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Canada upon marrying my Canadian spouse. Home Country - lets see - New Zealand or Canada? Which to choose? Most of my photos will be from NZ, but any pics of my son will be from Canada. MY IP Address will say that I am in Canada which is fine. My mother and sister are still back in NZ so I will make my home country as NZ for now. For Facebook, I dont check it every day - I am not addicted to FB, and I use a different name for privacy. My image is myself as a child - aged about 2 or 3 years old

I discovered Pysanky eggs several years ago and fell in love with this art form. While I cannot paint on such a small and fragile canvas, I am happy to admire those who create such gorgeous works of art.
The word Pysanky comes from the Ukraine, but this art form is not localised just to that country. Many countries in Eastern Europe have the same tradition of painting eggs at Easter time as well. It's just that the Ukrainian word Pysanky has now come to refer to this art form, no matter where the eggs come from.

My friends invited us over to "write" Pysanky some years ago. They didn't look this intricate but it was a lot of fun!
Lovely page Robynne. I remember making these for a project in grade school. I think it was Grade 4. Our didn't turn out nearly as nice as these! LOL
aww.. very cute. I'm loving those eggs.
