Hot Hot Hot! by Carol Clarke

We in the United Kingdom are experiencing hotter than normal temperatures this summer. Were just not used to this though and dont cope well with both the temperature and especially the humidity. Sooo with the forecast predicting a hot and sticky day we set off top Clumber Park with 3 of our grandchildren. it was hot but we did manage to survive the day .... mostly by sticking to the shaded areas though! lol These are 2 of my newest designs ... Watch out for more COMING SOON!

Computer prblems by Tina Wood

Craftsuprint are amazing. I lost all my items through a computer crash did not expect to get all of them back agaiI only happen to mention to them and hey ho Craftsuprint did just that and sent me an email to download all my previous purchases. I have just spent time downloading them al again. This day and age I think Craftsuprint should have a gold star themselves. What service. I shall recommend them to all my crafty friends and pass this word around.Craftsuprint, good service, good products and very helpful company. BRAVOThank you all the staff for being so helpful and kind. Tina Wood

Summer Garden by Judith Henry

My yard is very pretty today. The flowers are in full bloom, especially the wildflower garden. With all the rain it has been hard to keep up with weeds. I have lots of little trees growing that need to be cut out.The Hosta are blooming and attracting bumble bees and hummingbirds. The rabbit babies are hiding in the Vinca. Butterflies are landing on the Cone flowers and it is hard to keep the bird feeders filled. Enjoy the photos of what I look at each day outside my living-room windows.

My garden inspires my card designs.

ANOTHER INTERESTING GRAVEYARD SCENE by Wanda Lipski

I posted some time back porcelain flowers left as tributes on graves, but these interesting wrought iron gravestones were found in a cemetary not 10 kms from my home. Interestingly they all dated from the 1960s. There must have been a job lot purchased by the local funeral director and instead of the more traditional marble slab placed horizontally over the family vault all the deceased of the time were buried without a piece of marble in sight, and hearts in the centre of each cross. Id love to know more about them .... No, its not gruesome, just interesting. Have a good week ...

60 years young by Gaye Robinson

Just had my 60th birthday party started the evening as a 60s hippie finished it as a disco diva - candy floss wig, gold sequin dress and of course the 6 inch platform boots.. Lots of dancing to all the disco hits of my teenage years. Fits in great with my What happened in 1958 card range for different years male and female.

All Things Bright and Bee-utiful by Janice McFarlane

Isnt nature wonderful, when left to its own devices. I have a flower box outside my bungalow, with an array of various plants, one being lavender. With all of the sunshine weather we have been having, the lavender bushes have been filled with a few different varieties of bees all working together, doing what nature intended, and for different purposes and love them or hate them they are vital for our ecology. I love to watch them as they certainly are busy bees, and we also get butterflies who along with the bees are cross pollinators. As a Christian I am in awe of creation even down to the bees and butterflies. Of course bees are endangered, and in this hot dry weather get thirsty why not leave a small pot of water (a Jar lid will do) out for them, not sugar water as this is junk food to bees and can mess up the production of honey for the honey bees. Enjoy the beauty of what nature has provided.

Billys first walks! by Sue Way

At last Billy can go out! The first walk was to a little park, so he could feel the grass on his toes. He absolutely loved it & was running around with a big Golden smile. He was very bold, not at all like a timid puppy. He met a couple of young dogs and was soon running and tumbling around with them. When it was time to get back into the car he ran and hid with some football players that were sitting on a bench. Luckily they were quite happy to make a fuss of him. The next morning I took him to the beach and he really loved that, although he was wary of the sea. I think I may have a Golden retriever who doesnt like water! I went home with a very tired puppy so managed to get some jobs done in peace. Here are a couple of my latest Christmas designs. http://www.craftsuprint.com/sue-way/?r=968387

Brisbane Holiday Final by Vicki Avcin

Well the final instalment of my trip to Brisbane today. Of course spending my time with my daughter and seeing the rest of the family was top of the list and that includes seeing the furbaby grandies too. Milo is a chocolate lab and 10years old and sadly is just about blind now, Grayson, the grey cat that adopted Paul and his family and my daughters border collie Jaylee Lots of cuddles and hugs with them while I was there. My sons son, Riley took great delight showing me his excellent little boat he made from a cereal box and telling me how he made it even down to the lines drawn to look like planks. I think he did an excellent job with it. One of the must dos was go to Sushi Train. I swore (up to about 5 years ago) that Id never eat sushi….. raw fish just didnt appeal to me. But my daughter dragged me along on one of my previous visits 5 years ago to a Sushi Train and I found that it wasnt all raw fish. I now love sushi and my visits there always include lunch at a Sushi Train. All those plates in the picture arent mine! We had some favourites and a couple of others just to see what they were like. Must say I liked it all even one with a bit of wasabi on it. One of our lunches was at Café 63 and we had one of the lunchtime specials a Green & Gold Burger. All the menu items are named after worldwide icons of some sort ie famous people, landmarks, even Santas reindeer. (Green and Gold for Australia). It was huge and for the price, fantastic value. Never heard of a burger with a hash brown on it before! And the coffee was excellent. So that wraps up my recent trip to the big smoke until next year when Ill have another list of must do which will probably include most of my favourites that I did this year. PS If you missed my news last week with more of my holiday, it is on the news page on my CUP page as there was a hiccup last week.
