Exciting news coming soon - 3 September 2014

Learning to ice skate

This weekend gone was a very busy one.  Besides the Spring Walk and The Adventure Day at the boys' schools, Ethan was invited to Edge's 9th birthday party at the Galleria Ice Rink

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!

Besides standing like pencils and falling like dominoes, the boys did well as first timers and glided on the edge of the rink.

Here are some pics of the day....

That is all for now

HOW TO PLAY PHOTO A DAY

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

Have a look at Chantelle's blog to see how this idea was born and while you at it, subscribe to her monthly newsletter...so here it is Fat Mum Slim


HOW TO PLAY PHOTO A DAY

♥ Look at the monthly list to find the prompt for the day. {The number corresponds to the date of the month}.
♥ 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.
♥ 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.

Summer of 2012.....

I have finished a single page during the heavy rains we have had.  

I used a sketch from Let's Scrap.  This sketch was added by Debbie de Wilde on May 16, 2011.

I have been battling to get back into scrapping since my move 2 years ago from Cape Town and decided to print all the sketches I like from the Let's Scrap website. 

Thanks for looking and go and join the Let's Scrap.

December 2011

Gosh it has really been almost a year since I last posted and now don't go falling off your chair!

2011 has been a year of losing friends and a dear nephew. Connor fought for 7 years against the mitrochrondrial disease and earned his wings on September, 16.  Connor, I miss you terribly and know that you are dancing high up in the clouds.

Today I did some scrapping and made 2 things.

Firstly I made a Christmas Shadow box decoration using the papers from the Le Shabby Cafe's December kit - Joys of Christmas.  This is proudly hanging on my Christmas tree!



Secondly, I did my first sketch challenge with Let's Scrap and used the papers from the Le Shabby Cafe's December kit - Joys of Christmas.

That is all for now and will post some pictures on what show we went to see on the weekend.

New Year New Design

Hello there

I got a notice that http://shabbyblogs.com/ 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?

So here it is, my new look called "Sophie" which I got for free!!!

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!

Life lessons

While most of us had the almost "normal" week, but somewhere else, we have friends who have lost someone dear.

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.

 

There is no right or wrong way to grieve — but there are healthy ways to cope with the pain. You can get through it!

Grief that is expressed and experienced has a potential for healing that eventually can strengthen and enrich life.

I saw this quote :

 

"no one can go back in time to change the past,

but anyone can start a new today and have a new ending"

Anonoymous

 

Just to let you know that I am thinking you today and will leave you with this:

 

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain...Rev 21:4

 

Love
