  1. I have been away on a little holiday and returned being unwell which is not much fun with the heat wave we are having.

  2. Tomorrow Ken and I will make our final payment on the Cruise we are going on in January to New Zealand. I am starting to get more excited as hopefully I will get to meet two NZ Scrap Girls - Ngaire in the South Island and Jane in the north.

  4. My uncle's funeral today and I am doing one of the bible readings which just happens to be the same scriptures - Psalm 23 as at my Dad's funeral 7 years ago. I will need some strength to do this little task.

      So sorry for your loss AM. If I may share - we just had this situation with readers at my Mom's funeral and even if you don't "make it" through the reading - it will be meaningful and comfort your family. Take care.....

  5. You may see a little more of me again now. My try at being a professional designer did not work out and I am okay about that. My life away from digi land has just got a little busier now so fitting in design work would not work well for me now.

  18. My husband and I are heading off tomorrow for a little 3 night holiday to a town west of us over the mountain range where we may experience a little bit of snow or at least heavy frosts. We are staying in an historic home so I hope to take lots of photos. I will not have internet while away.

  19. Only 16 days until I meet Ngaire and then three days after that I meet Jane. 7 more sleeps until my husband and I set sail on our cruise.

  23. Sadly my new broadband internet is not up and running yet. After a few phone calls and testings looks like there could be problems with our phone line so a technician needs to come and sort it out which will not happen until next Monday.
