I seem to have a few stories to tell of late, they go with the pic's so bare with me.............I am doing a course with Nic Howard -  Dimensional Details. So my pre-class layout is finished & i wander outside to take pic's, having a bit of trouble finding the right location I suggest to Neil that i need something that I can just put my pic on and shoot..................Well bless his white cotton socks...............look what he made me, with the comment 'not many men would be doing this' maybe he is going to be Mr Inky of Oz......rotflol..........

Neil has  stored it in the kids cubby, so I can grab it whenever needed and put to whatever backdrop i like, so you will see lots more of Neil's creativity.................

Now for the layout - featuring Shani my daughter

Products used - Dusty Attic  Swirly vine , Mulberry flowers , Collections Elements Butterflies , Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist , Birds nest i used a bead cap which looks like a nest & scraps of paper rustic charm . So that was my Good Friday, how about yours?

Easter Bonnet Parade

Decorated Hat Day - Easter Bonnet Parade -  Last day Term 1

Jess told me on Monday they had to decorate a hat, nothing about Easter or anything like that just 'decorate a hat mum'. So we came up with a plan to decorate this hat he got in Bali on the elephant tour he went on. So i went out and bought all these African animals & had a bit of a plan in my head as he did in his. So Wednesday nite (nothing like leaving it till the last minute) I pull out all this stuff & call Jess for assistance. Neil  sitting there reading the  school newsletter throws in this comment  'it's an Easter bonnet you are meant to be making'..............aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh ........that's my Jess!

So off to the shop  Shani goes for some last minute supplies & here is the results of Jess's Easter bonnet & by the way he actually won..................god love him



I did ask him to smile 'don't like smiling mum' so this was shot #3 and i gave up :-)  lol





The hat came home but the eggs fell out of the nest and broke so they had to eat them.................kids you got to love them!

Memories are forever

For a very special lady  'My Auntie Pam'

She loves pink so i couldn't resist using the Basic Grey Porcelain papers, a few flowers, of course German Scrap, a touch of glimmer mist & a few other bits..................... Not the best photo's as it's night, but wanted to share, will try for better pics tomorrow & share again.. Nitey Nite & God Bless from the Top End :-)

Let me watch over you forever.................& ever.................

Forever in my heart.................

TC Paul Update

The cyclone is currently close to the coast and is expected to move inland and weaken slightly early on Tuesday. On Wednesday it is likely the cyclone will move back into Gulf of Carpentaria where it may reintensify.

DESTRUCTIVE WINDS with gusts to 140 kilometres per hour are likely on the coast near Cape Shield as the cyclone moves inland.

GALES with gusts to 110 kilometres per hour are currently being experienced between Nhulunbuy and Numbulwar, including Groote Eylandt. GALES may extend north to Elcho Island and west to Milingimbi during Tuesday if the cyclone takes a more northerly track. GALES are likely to extend south to Port McArthur or possibly west to Maningrida during Wednesday, depending on the cyclone's future movement.

A STORM TIDE is expected between CAPE SHIELD and PORT ROPER. Tides are likely to rise significantly above the normal high tide, with DAMAGING WAVES and DANGEROUS FLOODING tonight and Tuesday.

HEAVY RAIN may lead to localised flooding and significant stream rises over the eastern Top End and northern Roper-McArthur Districts tonight and Tuesday.
