Catch up time!

Well I don't know how it could be possibly a month since my last post..........whizzzzzzz.....what was that ....oh another month.  They tell me only 9 weeks till the big "C".  Yikes can that possibly be true.  Anyway we are on school holidays and last week we were at the beach,  The weather was ok, Nick did swim a couple of times, in a wetsuit mind you.  The rest of us watched.  Its always so nice though to walk on the sand and to just be near the ocean.  We also went whitebaiting on the river, which was very "Huckleberry Finn" like.  We had a lovely time and this week we have just been hanging around really, restoring ready for a busy last term of school. 

Whangamata Surf

Whitebaiting on the river - very tranquil spot.

I had a really great crafting day yesterday, caught up on lots of stuff that needed to be finished, sealed and addressed envelopes with a great feeling of satisfaction (maybe its something they put in the glue).  Unfortunately the photos I took are a bit washed out as I now realise I hadn't changed the setting on the camera.  So here are just a couple.

This one is made using a stamp from the Angel Company called exotic birds and you will just have to trust me that it looked way better than this up close.  This is a bit different for me but I really enjoyed doing this more cleaner style and was pleased with the result.

These two are more my usual style and are LOTV images sent to me by a friend, again sorry a bit wishy washy but I really like the girl with the butterfly on her head, she really pops off the page in real life(so to speak).

Thanks for stopping by, have a great week.  Oh and the All Blacks are in the Rugby World Cup Final against France, playing this weekend.  "Go the AB's".
