<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello all</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has been a REALLY long time since I last posted but life has been very busy but here I am.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have recently decided to scrap a page even if it takes me a week to do and was inspired by Tracy Gardiner (just google her, she is EVERYWHERE) and her work is stunning.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">South Africa has a local magazine called <a href="http://scrapaffairs.co.za/" target="_blank">Scrap affairs</a> with loads in scrapping articles and inside the middle, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Celebr8-157393010969691/" target="_blank">Celebr8</a> had some freebie papers. Tracy had a design using this free paper and it simply match my photos of my son Tyler eating the pineapple in Mozambique. It was the most tasteless pineapple and it felt as if you were eating water but Tyler love it so much!!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was able to tweak it and combine this layout with a challenge at <a href="http://thestudiochallenges.blogspot.co.za/2018/05/20th-may-tic-tac-toe.html" target="_blank">The Studio Challenge</a>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This
is the first time I have taken part in a Tic Tac Toe challenge and really enjoyed it. I must say that I started off with one row and ended up with another row and finally settling on the line on top "Paint, Green and Circle"</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Besides trying to flick green paint on my paper, I ended up having more on me and it took a few tries to get it right. I am not a big fan of circles so I hid some of the circle.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks for looking.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For some reason I have no idea how I could have missed this blog......</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is called A little Scrapbooking and is run by Lisa Moorefield. It is such a cute little site and I simply fell in love with it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I saw this little comic called "A field Guide to Scrapbookers and thought I share it with you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXKqxU4a10JkrSF6Ipt0Gtdgca50kzKgGie8gRM2BPEepvXKQ3noQesVYv5CG8NM2-tooR3oBeMX8WBv5yuVHt8x7AWO8PRxLQ6u4KtAJB_YOMkob74kZ3E-9Z-IroHH27ZyJJTOBj4bA/s1600/10411002_10153441069814947_4214172229940403716_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXKqxU4a10JkrSF6Ipt0Gtdgca50kzKgGie8gRM2BPEepvXKQ3noQesVYv5CG8NM2-tooR3oBeMX8WBv5yuVHt8x7AWO8PRxLQ6u4KtAJB_YOMkob74kZ3E-9Z-IroHH27ZyJJTOBj4bA/s1600/10411002_10153441069814947_4214172229940403716_n.jpg" height="640" width="452" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So which one are you? For me I am a dreamer and a hoarder. My sister on the other hand thinks that the FANATIC should suit me better as I LOVE cats and rename the title to CATNATIC!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So go on, get your cup of tea/coffee and go and browse </span><a href="http://lisamoorefield.com/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">here</a><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Till then have a good mid-week.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I did this card on Corel Draw purely because I am going to print plenty of copies and stick them to cardstock. Maybe I am just lazy but I have had families/friends moaning "why did he/she get that card and I got this one" and from 2014, everyone is getting the same card. It also make it easier to send this via email to those who live overseas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also remember that there is a challenge coming up this week on the Lets Scrap Bog this Friday, 19th September but dont worry, I will send you a post!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also do visit the blog as often as you can as the members post almost daily their takes on the sketches/challenges.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That's all for now.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Our lives are so busy and sometimes we live so far from our families. We miss the relationships with our families and often we do not even share important life events with them. We live in a time where there are so MANY ways to communicate. Endless communication possibilities. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">No one will ever love us unconditionally like our family can. We'd be fools not to take advantage of this opportunity. Life is all about throwing curve balls and its where one needs their families to help each other to accept, move on and cherish the memories of those who left us.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Connor, we all knew that your day would come sooner than most young kids but were we really prepared for that day? </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 22px;">I know I wasn't but deep down I knew that you, Connor, are in a so much better and pain free place.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;">Everywhere I look are the m</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;">emories of you,</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I see you in my children and always speak about you to your cousins, Ethan and Tyler.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 22px;">It's only been three years, but it st</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 22px;">ill feels like yesterday</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;">But I learned t</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;">hat God needed you more than w</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;">e did, but why then?</span></div>

Besides the Spring Walk and The Adventure Day at the boys' schools, Ethan was invited to Edge's 9th birthday party at the <a href="http://www.skategalleria.co.za/" target="_blank">Galleria Ice Rink</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now this was the boys first time on the ice rink. Poor Tyler thought there was water underneath and said that he wasn't going to go on as the ice might crack and he would fall into the icy water below! Me think he has been watching too many cartoons!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 21.993999481201172px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Besides standing like pencils and falling like dominoes, the boys did well as first timers and glided on the edge of the rink.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 21.993999481201172px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

Whether you are a pro or not, its nice to get cute prompts for each day and you can have fun while at it.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #f076ad;">HOW TO PLAY PHOTO A DAY</span><br />
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #f076ad;"><br /></span>
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #f076ad;">♥</span> Look at the monthly list to find the prompt for the day. {The number corresponds to the date of the month}.<br />
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #f076ad;">♥</span> Take a photo using the prompt as inspiration. So for September the prompt for day 1 is ‘in my cup’. So take a photo of what is in your cup.<br />
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #f076ad;">♥</span> Now you’ve taken a picture, it’s time to share it. This is the fun part. You can share to whichever social media platform you like, for me I like Facebook but you can post wherever you post to.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I did some scrapping and made 2 things.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Firstly I made a Christmas Shadow box decoration using the papers from the </span><a href="http://leshabbycafe.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Le Shabby Cafe</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">'s December kit - Joys of Christmas.

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I got a notice that <a href="http://shabbyblogs.com/">http://shabbyblogs.com/</a> is moving to a new server and we had to update our codes (Like I know how to do this???) so I decided to get a whole look. Let me know what you think?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So here it is, my new look called "Sophie" which I got for free!!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">While I was busy updating, I realised that my last post was November 2010 and that means I need to get off my butt and get you all updated. I promise to do this by the end of the week and in the meantime, you all must have a fabulous week!</div><br />
Love<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Losing someone or something you love is very painful. After a significant loss, you may experience all kinds of difficult and surprising emotions, such as shock, anger, and guilt. Sometimes it may feel like the sadness will never let up. While these feelings can be frightening and overwhelming, they are normal reactions to loss. Accepting them as part of the grieving process and allowing yourself to feel what you feel is necessary for healing. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">There is no right or wrong way to grieve — but there are healthy ways to cope with the pain. You can get through it! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Grief that is expressed and experienced has a potential for healing that eventually can strengthen and enrich life.</span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A delightful venue with a wide selection of animals, big and small. Owner managed by a couple, who clearly love animals. The tea garden offers light lunches, breakfast, cakes and beverages in a lovely setting overlooking the farms on the opposite side of the valley. You can feed and pet the animals, milk a cow, ride a pony and even go on a tractor ride.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ethan and Tyler soon overcame their fear of feeding.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">January is coming to an end and we are now getting closer to 2010 Soccer World Cup!!! For those who live near the stadiums, have you been to one in your area and have you taken photos and have you managed to scrap a page or two to remind our future generations on this big event that will be part of our history?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We are still having problems with Telkom (who hasn't), however, we would like to send you this message from Scrap Affairs magazine:</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span style="color: black; font-size: x-small;"></span></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It has been one busy time since our arrival in Durban. It is so good to be back and to be amongst families and friends. We now have a hectic social life and are enjoy every bit.</span><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span style="color: black; font-size: x-small;"></span></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">On the shop's side, we are still waiting for the installation of the Telkom lines and so far Telkom is looking for a cable to connect me to the exchange. I am giving them an extra week and then I am calling Neotel. Is there a chance that some of yous have looked into this competitor and have joined them? Please tell me more.</span><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span style="color: black; font-size: x-small;"></span></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It looks like we have left the raining season in the Western Cape (rain in winter) for the raining season in kwaZulu Natal (rain in summer) and that means we have rain for a WHOLE year!! Recently we have had loads of rain and on Wednesday this week we had our mini tornadoes. I really don't think Durbanites have experienced the Cape Doctor cos mini tornadoes are definitely in the Western Cape at this time of the year!!!</span><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span style="color: black; font-size: x-small;"></span></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The boys have settled in their new creche and it is a lot smaller than their previous creche. They are only there till 2.30 and then they drive mommy cra{z}y!</span><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span style="color: black; font-size: x-small;"></span></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">While I am dormant with my shop, I was offered a mornings only admin/book-keeping job for a business called Herbs by Rosemary. For the Durbanites, you may have seen these fresh herbs at our local Spars, Pick 'n Pay, Checkers etc. The girl that did the admin work had her second heart transplant operation in 8.5 years and has been having kidneys problems. So this is just temporary arrangement to help our family friend during her recovery period.</span><br />

So watch this space for some ideas.</span><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span style="color: black; font-size: x-small;"></span></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">What is coming soon.......{very soon} .....is the new addition to the Cuttlebug family and it is a {s}he and is in {p}ink and is adorable. We are hoping that this lovely little lady will make an appearance for Christmas and what is also so cool is that you will get a {FREE} alphabet !!! That is right, spend R1000 and you will get a set on alphas worth R1050. If you are interested, please email me on scrapping@bscrapbooks.co.za So remember all things are pink....</span><br />

No seriously, they are both very good boys and they do have their moments like any other children.<br /><br />We are busy packing up our home in Cape Town and we are moving back to our home town which is in </span><a href="http://www.durban.gov.za/"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Durban</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">, </span><a href="http://www.zulu.org.za/"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">KwaZulu-Natal</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">, </span><a href="http://www.southafrica.co.za/"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">South Africa</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">. We will miss the gigantic <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.tablemountain.net">Table Mountain </a>and the long summers but nothing compares to having your family and your friends near by. Being alone in Cape Town with Tammy as my only sister living in Cape Town, you do tend to take for granted your family and friends. As soon as we are back and settled in, we are going to be more involved and introduce our boys to their endless number of cousins and of course to be spoilt by both grannies and grandpas!<br /><br />Karl was given the opportunity to start up a branch in Durban and I have converted my retail shop "</span><a href="http://www.bscrapbooks.co.za/"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">B's Scrapbooks</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">" to an on-line shop.

We were very lucky to find a 3 beds home with a double garage that half has been converted to an office and a huge spare room which will be the home of B’s Scrapbooks.<br /><br />A quick update on B’s {as I am commonly known by}………<br /><br />In March 2009, we started our own product range called {B’s Scrapbooks Designs}.<br /><br />That’s right!!!<br /><br />We have started our own, unique & versatile white chipboard range.<br /><br />Easy to paint, chalk, distress, cover & add dimension.<br />We can’t tell you how excited we are & know that you will be too!!<br />Coming soon will be a PERSONALISED SERVICE where YOU can order your own unique scrapbook titles ready-made & cut out..<br /><br />So start jotting down those titles & watch this space for more details.
