I made this for the current scramble! It's my first ever St Patty's Day card! I thought that the flower from Watercolor petals sorta looked like a 4 leaf clover! It has 4 petals!!! I went for CAS which I so enjoy making! I realized as I made this that I have 8 colors of green ink! I do not have that many of blue, pink or any other color but that many of green. I must love green! LOL I popped up the middle panel, and used Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint ink. And had to add some twine as I love it so!
I had to add how long it took me to make it as Virginia did! Half an hour and I couldn't find the nestie, took a bit finally did! And my son asked for juice (told him no gave him water, he cried!) , yogurt, show while I made it!
INFO TO BE ADDED SHORTLY:
HISTORY (VICTORIA STATION):
Sheffield Victoria was a five-platform station opened in 1851 to serve trains on the MSLR (Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway) replacing the original Sheffield terminal at Bridgehouses, slightly over half a mile further west. The station was built on the end of a long viaduct spanning the north end of the city centre and crossing the River Don and the Wicker. IT was formed of two island platforms (2-3 and 4-5) plus a short platform (1) on the city side which were accessed by a subway beyond the booking office.
Victoria station was accessible at the top of a quarter-mile long drive that also served the city's popular Royal Victoria Hotel which stood immediately adjacent, and still sees great business today. An additional entrance existed on the Wicker, which included steps and a lift , the latter coming with a 1penny charge. A rebuild in the early 20th century included a new more modern frontage and improved car park and taxi rank facilities at the front.
Despite only two thirds the size of it's rival city stop Sheffield Midland, Victoria enjoyed a hugely hectic scene, with services to/from Manchester, Lincoln, Chesterfield, Nottingham and London passing this way as well as the much revered Master Cutler and Pullman trains. Services to Barnsley used the original Blackburn Valley route via Ecclesfield, Chapeltown, Dovecliffe, Birdwell and Stairfoot, which required turning east through Woodburn junction Tinsley and Meadowhall (now part of the Supertram route) to reach.
The station would later become part of the legendary GCR Woodhead route, connecting Sheffield and Manchester via the pennines. Steam was replaced by electrification in 1954, by which time the other services were starting to become moved to operate from Midland and other lines.
Services across the Woodhead corridor proved hugely popular, with a journey time of just over 55 minutes, until the Beeching cuts brutally ended the dream only sixteen years later on.
The station closed to passengers on January 5th 1970 although a few years later was reopened temporarily to cover for its larger rival Midland. Trains still passed through the closed station for over a decade, with the electrification remaining for the goods trains from.Tinsley to Deepcar and Manchester, while the Sheffield to Huddersfield stopping service passed through on its merry way until being rerouted via Barnsley in 1983. After this, the Woodhead line was lifted and Victoria was stripped down to a shell leaving empty platforms , and a single line to steelworks plants at Stocksbridge. The station was demolished in 1989, and a Holiday Inn extension built across the site of the platforms seriously damaging the likelihood of the station ever being reopened.
The surviving platform 5, which the single Stocksbridge line runs by remained accessible for many years longer along with adjacent wasteland to the east but this has since been taken over by an upper tier car park and the platform now fenced off. The ramp to platform 1 still remains amazingly good health with the original white/green tiling and most of the platform's rear wall is intact although the area is now home to the higher tier car park. Wasteland occupying the eastern end of the station is now owned by Network Rail and was also the set for a film called 'The Navigators', made in 2002.
The station has since become earmarked for future reuse as the Sheffield stop for the forthcoming HS2 line.
Ive added a colourscheme editor function to the Flickr Shades Greasemonkey script, that lets you edit the colour scheme on the flickr website, including changing the text colour, background colour and link colours. You can access the new colour scheme editor function via the Firefox Tools Menu, then select Greasemonkey, then Select "UserScript Commands" then select "Flickr Shades Colour Scheme Editor" Reinstall the script to get the new function.
*Update 24-Sep-2009* Tweaked various things (fixed for galleries + new flickr logo) Also added an onscreen link to open the colour scheme editor. Clicking the "?" link next to the "Flickr Tools" link in the top nav menu will now also open the colour scheme editor.
Update 9-Dec-2009 Fixed hidden photo button bar, fixed hidden photos in photostream view

Add a touch of subtle elegance to any room with the rich blend of sultry scents produced by the Stonehenge™ Travel Diffuser from the Archipelago® Excursion Series.
The set comes complete with everything you need including:
•A frosted glass vessel (1.6 oz) filled with Stonehenge™, a blend of Essential Oils and the Natural Fragrances of Smoked Cedarwood, Bergamot and Amber
•five (5) sets of disposable natural reeds
•a reusable sealing cap
When you arrive at your destination simply unscrew the reusable cap and carefully insert the wooden reeds into the opening. The natural reeds will absorb the fragrance oil and deliver long-lasting fragrance to any room. At the end of your stay, simply discard the used reeds, reseal the bottle tightly with the reusable cap, and pack it away for the next stop on your itinerary.
Warnings: Flammable: keep away from heat sources such as open flame, stove, or hot date. Do not allow oil to come in contact with furniture, luggage, clothes, or other personal items; oils may cause serious damage. Avoid contact with skin. Rinse thoroughly with soapy water if contact occurs. Do not ingest or use for cooking. Keep away from children and pets.

Well... After a thinking it over a little, I decided to go ahead and add two additional features to the unit. I have now added an Intervalometer and a Lightning Detector to it's capabilities! :-)
The Intervalometer is a bit more capable than the standard ones out there and certainly the one I have built into my camera. It has the ability to set intervals down to the milliseconds! The ones have used in the past only allowed me to set intervals in seconds and not fractions of a second. I am sure there are other uses for it but I know for sure it would have been handy in doing some time lapses while doing higher speeds in a vehicle. The Lightning detection circuit is about as simple as it can get and will work with any camera having a shutter lag of less than 90 milliseconds (just to be on the safe side).
I also spent a lot of time re-writing the code for the update routines to make it easier to navigate through the system parameters, make changes to them, and then added the ability to save them to non-volatile memory so that the saved parameters will be reloaded on power up of the system. All in all, I think this unit will work very nicely in what I want it to do! :-)
All of this has taken up pretty much every moment of the last two days, but most of that time was spent fighting a bug that I ran across in the Arduino compiler in dealing with complex OR comparisons. That was bit frustrating to figure out, but I finally worked my way around it. :-)
So... now I can get back to work on finishing the tutorial and getting the wiring diagram drawn up!
These storage spaces on each side of the saloon will hold plenty stuff, they have been insulated and lined.
Added: Way Big (several of the recent Ultimate Alien figures not pictured) Still need to get Manny & Helen from the UK.
