ooooops - forgot to show you an image of the freebie mentioned below. It is an 8x8 inch quick page in png format. Just load a photo behind the page and you have an instant layout.

June the 30th means the end of the financial year and has been a very busy time.

I have resigned from two digi scrap stores and only sell now at The Scrapping Garden and also am on the design team at RAKS. It is easy to get carried away with the idea of selling but then I found I had no time to scrap my photos, which is why I started in the first place. Digi scrapping had become a chore so the hard decision was made to reduce my committments to one store only.

Now I have had time to design and would like to intorduce my new kit called "White Daisy". I saw these colours together and the kit just fell into place. Let me know what you think.


I have a freebie to compliment this kit. It will be available until Sunday noon, West Australian time.
Freebie No longer available
Tomorrow night is abig night for me as I become the President of our local rotary club. Looks like the next 12 months will be very busy.

Sunday night and another cold sunny day - still no rain. It is the middle of winter and I have to water the garden. seems crazy. Our minimum temperature was less than 1 degree celius last night.


thought I would show you a layout of my 16 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Agro. I have had her since she was 6 weeks old. She sleeps most of the day and when I get home from work, I worry when she doesnt come to greet me. The vet says she is heathy for a 16 year old, even though she is deaf and her arthritis in the leg she broke at 14 does bother her a bit. I hope she dies in her sleep and I dont have to take the drive to the vet as I have had to do for two other pets.

the Al[pha set and tag are from Lettering Delights - these elements are so bright and cheerful to use.
