Greetings to All Our Little Verge Elves!

Greetings to all our little Verge Elves and welcome to our Festive December Issue!

We thought we would delight you all with a merry little poem to sum up the year...

___


Tis the week after Christmas, and the Verge Girls remember,
The laughter & moments they’ve shared since last December .
These past twelve months have flown by so fast,
But the Girls know for sure they’ve had such a blast!
In January, the wedding season was in full swing,
And In February, we were still seeing more Bridal Bling.
In March we began working with several magazines,
Through April and May, we gave our website a polished sheen!
The tornado in June almost flew us to Oz,
But Oh, what a mess the Blockbuster was...
After 5 years of waiting, Kate got her wish – Hoorays!
Took her family to Bali for some warm sunrays.
The new financial year began in July,
and August welcomed our expo: “Women, the Other Half of The Sky”.
Then the Verge Girls attended Light the Night,
To support those in need, despite the cold bite!
When September arrived, we displayed our wares, proud
At the eBridal expo, we stood out from the crowd!
We were covered in paint for most of October,
As we re-vamped and moved our Studio over
(to the beautiful and serene Swan Valley – That’s Ace!
The fresh air & vineyards surround our new place)
A fantastic time was had in November,
At Caversham House - A photo shoot to remember!
With other suppliers to help, we convened brides & grooms,
and cars, dresses, jewellery and a bouquet of blooms!
Now, we’re deep in December, and out of nowhere – PHWOAR!!
The Festive Season has crept up on us once more.
So, delightful decorations are hurriedly hung,
And off-key songs are loudly sung.
 
We want to pass on our appreciation, sincere
For all your support throughout this past year.
We’ve met some incredible, hilarious, inspirational folk,
And have laughed so hard that we’ve almost choked.
 
So thank you, thank you, and thank you again,
For your dedication and kindness that never appears to wane.
With every day that passes, let’s Live Life free, fun & bold
We wonder with excitement, what 2013 will hold!
 
 
Remember these words from the little pink Verge Fairy:
In our world, there’s no such thing as “Ordinary”

Raising I.T. Experts

In Focus

'Raising IT Experts'


What happened to backyard frolicking, the BMX bandit, the friendly neighborhood street cricket game and screaming like an old fish wife out the door - “time for dinner!”?  It seems raising little people has somehow surpassed our primal natures and harshly subjected us to the need for an IT Degree to communicate with them.

When your child informs you the need for an Ipad, Ipod, Iphone and everything else that starts with “I”, has become like air,  it’s time to review the costs!  A must have to survive in the world of social pressures and certainly in keeping your child from ticking off the Anti Social Nerd box, your only response may be - “there’s no “I” in team, you can share mine!”

We'll miss the days of our kids screaming out in the night that they are sick, expect a text from here on in.  Our school newsletters are now fraught with ‘please ask your child to keep their phones turned off during school hours’.   They’re facebooking, twittering and blogging their way to world domination.  We don’t get marketing surveys spamming our inbox anymore (ok that’s good), but a little disturbing that global marketing companies now care what a 12 year old thinks!

Glass half full, there are some really cool advantages.  Parking in the shopping centre has now become less of a navigational nightmare.  Yes those Alzheimer moments are a thing of the past as your little genius simply unleashes an ‘App’  they have downloaded on your phone, ‘Find My Car’ and  pinpoints your vehicle on level 3, Green Isle, Bay 37.  Wow, technological breadcrumbs!

If you’ve ever wanted to spell the word ‘HEPATICO­CHOLANGIO­CHOLECYST­ENTERO­STOMIES’ (meaning - a surgical creation of a connection between the gall bladder and a hepatic duct and between the intestine and the gall bladder), oh come on, you might - have no fear, your IT prodigy will have soon Googled it and whipped it down in front of you before you can explain what it means.  If you’ve ever had the armpit sweating experience of assisting a child with Grade 6 homework, you will soon come to realise that Google is your friend too.

So parents, while the phrases ‘get a job’ and ‘drive yourself’ or even ‘make your own dinner’ guarantees you a solid rabbit in the headlight stare from your little IT experts, we still know more than them, for now.
