Around here ...

I can't believe that it is nearly a week since my last post ... I have had great intentions each night to sit down and blog but I have been so exhausted this past week that I have not gotten to all the things on that intention list ~ I guess because it is also just in my head and not written down.

The weekend went by in an absolute flash and so has this week ... One good thing was that I got all my 2014 photos printed so I am ready and raring to go for our scrapbook date on Saturday at Ali's house.  Tomorrow I really need to pack up my desk as we move buildings on Friday.

Some highlights this week ...

I ordered a tablecloth from my friend Pam who owns The Bead and Craft Cabin at Tulip Garden Centre in Haddon, Johannesburg and who is VERY talented.  I met Pam about 13 years ago when I joined a fabric painting class which she used to attend with her Mom Hazel ~ Hazie was a really good artist and I have a cloth which she painted for a raffle at the retirement village where she lived.  

Pam let me know that the cloth was ready so I popped past after fetching Connor from Byron's house yesterday afternoon and this is what she gave me ....  

Last night I decided that I really wanted to scrapbook a page (or at least start a page) so I got out a kit that I had bought from The Scissor Sisters and took out my 2014 Mother's Day photos and started the page and finished it up tonight ...  It is a gorgeous page ... 

My highlight today was having a cuppa Mugg & Bean coffee with my friends Eddie and Sam ~ fantastic coffee and even better company.  It was wonderful to catch up with Eddie ... now that I don't look after his area we have to make time in the diary to keep in contact and I miss our regular chats.

Well, that's it from me for tonight.  Hope you are all having a great week ... see you again soon.
