Floods ...

Just thought I'd share a couple of photos I took as we headed south down the Hume Freeway on Saturday. We were just near Violet Town and I had just made a comment to my DH about not having come across any flooding as the news reoports had been telling us.

We were following a big semi-trailer so we hoped it would clear the way for us ... which it did but also splashed water onto our car if we were too close.

So, till next time ...

Reflecting

I did the layout below for Sketch Insiration's latest challenge and DH had a good laugh remembering the incident with our little dog Molly, who is no longer with us.  We also reminisced about her funny antics with different things that happened in her life.  She was such a faithful, loving little pooch who played a big part in our lives for 12 years.

It's so important to be grateful for everything that we experience because life is so full of wonder and discovery ... yes even when things aren't going as we wish.
I discovered this video on my internet travels that I'd like to share with you today.



So, until next time ...

Experimenting

I have been contemplating doing 8 x 11 layouts instead of the customary 12 x 12 and this weekend I took the plunge and got started.

With the smaller page size I decided it was best to keep the design simple, thank you to Nicole S., Fran Tynan and Leanne Stamatellos for giving me the inspiration to create simply.

I'm looking forward to continuing my relationship with this size!

So, till next time ...

Vintage Cards

I love the old vintage photos and they make such a wonderful 'embellishment'.  I have spent alot of time searching for images that I love and have been busy making some cards.  It's fun to gather all the different bits and pieces - and the paper, it's absolutely gorgeous!  I found some Grace taylor paper the other day and was amazed when i paid for it that it was only half the price I thought it was!!

Here are a some cards I have completed.

So, till next time ...

A Reminder ...

While blog surfing, I found this and thought it a good idea to post here ...

I have an automatic backup with my Apple Time Capsule.  Someone suggested that I should also have an offsite back up.  With so many precious files on my computer (including a few thousand photos) this is a major consideration for me!

So if you haven't done this for a while ...

So till next time ...
