Reflections

It's Monday . . .

and here I am blogging again . . . I've gotta give you guys something to read or you just aint going to bother checking in :)

I managed to get out in the garden a bit on the weekend and not only got some much need mowing done but also a little pruning - it may be a little early BUT hey . . . whilst I have the time I'm (and the inclination), I'm going to tackle a little every now and then.  We've got 10 fruit trees that require their annual pruning and I must admit that it does become a daunting task if I leave them to all do at once.  Especially when there are so many other native plants in the garden that also appreciate a little tender loving care to get them looking at their best.  So - I can confidently say that I now only have 8 of those fruit trees left to prune - the pear and cherry trees are done - gee I hope we are fortunate to actually get some more fruit on these too . . . they'll be 3 years old this summer so hopefully this will be the year for them.

On the scrapping front I made some progress on a Scrappit Circle Journal for Shannon and just have to complete my sign in tag . . . after being behind with Michelle's one, I'm so glad that I will be able to say that I am actually on time this month - woo hoo :)  I loved the topic too - of course aside from my family, the one thing I can't  live without (aside from my sunglasses but that topic was already covered - LOL) was my digital camera!  I've had so much fun putting this one together and so I do hope you like it Shannon!  I've shown a pic of it in my Miscellaneous Photo Album . . . pics on my pages are compliments of www.dpreview.com (it's a bit hard to take pics of your own camera when you have to use it - LOL)

Oh and here is another page I've completed since I last blogged - another one done with the gorgeous May CLUB Scrappit products - and I couldn't resist adding some of those Fancy Pants flowers as well . . . they just complimented so perfectly!  This is my dear brother and his gorgeous daughter on the day we were all heading home from Tathra.  Love the photos Wayne!  I can already see so many of the qualities I love in Dad coming out in you!

Pelicans

I know I just did a post and this is so not like me to post on my blog again so quickly but I thought I would share a few favourite pics of Tathra that I was going through on CD a moment ag0.  Tathra has such wonderful child memories for me - it was an annual holiday spot for us.

I must enlighten you to the fact I have a thing about Pelicans . . . I just love them - not sure why?  Maybe it is there quiet and graceful nature?  Dunno . . . but I do so enjoy taking pics of them AND at Tathra one of the most perfect spots is down at the boat ramp. 

End of May?

How did that happen?  One minute May was beginning and now the end of it is just around the corner!  I guess it didn't help that we went away for a few days to Tathra on the NSW coast, I've been busy working with the May CLUB Scrappit and then I've had a bit of a bug this last week or so too.  Oh well - it can only get better I suppose.

At the beginning of the month Adam celebrated his 4th birthday and like his brother he wanted Hot Wheels cars on hit cake - my goodness that time has gone so quickly!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY my big boy!

Our trip to Tathra was most enjoyable and whilst the fishing may not have been as wonderful as it had been the same time last year, it was indeed terrific to be able to spend some relaxing time with my parents as well as my brother and his family.

On the scrapping front, May CLUB Scrappit has the gorgeous range of Urban Lily papers  in it and they were just perfect to use with so many of the photos I had taken whilst we were in Tathra - here's one of them BUT check out the others here!
