Low bandwidth

ARRRGH- this is a post with no pictures today- my capping ran out and I’m running on a top up that is minimum! OY- lol

Yeah- in South Africa we have to buy *capped services* and I have 5 of those which I have run dry this month- hahahaha, and just bought a top up for the weekend to keep me *alive* so to speak as I would loose any bandwidth paid for on Monday morning- SUCKS I tell you. I wish we would get with the *times* so to speak! lol

But just wanted to wish everyone a great weekend and will see you on Monday with some AWESOME new goodies! YAY!!

Be good or at least be careful- hee hee

Humid

OY- the drizzle the last two days has been wonderful, and I have green shoots showing in the brown grass! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE-lol. But OMG, the sun has peaked out today and I can tell you it’s a sweat box! My poor soap in the bathroom even has water droplets on it and not from the tap! Everything feels damp- the tiled floors and counters etc. But I won’t complain about that as we have sooo needed the bit of relief in the garden ;-)

It didn’t rain hard at all but we had that constant fine rain which has done a good soaking- now just hoping some of my poor plants will revive and lift their drooping heads.

Phew- can you believe it’s almost the end of Feb already??- OUCH,-So just a few reminders before I forget in the next few days when life just goes crazy- hahaha.

It’s Raining

WOOHOOOOOOOOOOO! It’s raining today and more predicted for tomorrow. They’ve just closed the George Airport on the Garden Route due to the rain – so I’m hoping it keeps raining to fill up our really really Low damns, as well as turn my brown grass to green ;-)

Summer is not the same without a green lawn- it’s sooo brown and brittle from the drought outside it looks like the Transvaal does in winter- hahaha- brown and dead. We have been on strict water restrictions for a while now ( no hosepipe use or filling pools etc etc) and it would be nice to be able to stand and water the flowers and plants in the evenings again. Summer routines that really just make a summer GOOD- that and eating watermelon outside till the juice runs down your chin! BWHAHAHA- that always reminds me of summer- it comes from when I was a kid and eating big half moon wedges of it outside with Gaye and my Dad. OOOH and the smell of peaches and fresh cut lawn too- hahaha, Funny how some smells just make is summer.

Winter- well the only one I can think of this side is hot chocolate and Curry- lol. What smells do you associate with summer and winter?

OMG- my CT team have just been a ROCK while my life has gone from hectic to frantic at the moment (OY-lol) They have been *silently* producing Stunning Inspiration for us!

With deepest Thanks

AHH guys, just a huge thank you for helping me make it through my day yesterday! Being on my own was not the easiest for me when I got the news and you were here to help. THANK YOU.

Nathan came home in the afternoon and after a few shared tears, was a REAL pillar and we sat laughing through some of the story’s of Pop’s and my dad. Some emails and talking sure made it easier to ease the tight band around the chest and today I’m feeling much more myself. My Dad is still heart sore but is also feeling more at peace today.

I did what helped me yesterday- I SCRAPPED! lol, I haven’t done two pages in one day for a long time- but shut down for a while and just sat creating for the *feel of it* sure was therapy too.

I’d actually started this one in the morning just before the news came and it’s for my dear friend Shannon. He daughter Nadya has the most stunning strawberry blonde hair and a face of an angel!

I used my new kit Rustic Warmth and Jazzy’s word art *Girl Power*.

After much pushing from one of my CT members- UHUM Ruthy-lol, I decided to take up the Penscrappers Contest this month(my first EVER contest to do with scrapping). OY, I must admit after saying OK I would give it a go, and then seeing the theme I nearly backed out. But decided to make it a challenge to myself as I SO STINK at putting journaling on LO’s.

As Kristine say’s, it makes you feel sort of NEKID – lol, and I think that’s EXACTLY it! For me journaling puts a bit of me and my personal thoughts on paper that everyone can see and read- leaving me NEKID. hahahaha- BUT, I did it!

Journaling says-

Ten things I heart(love) about the *man* you have grown up to be.

* Your respect and politeness to all of your peers, no matter what their age.
* Your love for your family and home both of
which know no boundaries.
* Your willingness to help others less
fortunate than yourself.
* That you still share your life and time with me, even sometimes at your friends expense.
* The confidence you show in everything you try or attempt.
* For your humour that fills my heart and mouth with laughter.
* For being a rock when things get tough and for never complaining about it.
* The thoughtfulness you show by leaving little gifts on my desk when I least expect them.
* Your compassion that is way beyond your years.
* For always making me PROUD to say I'm your mother.

If you think it deserves YOUR VOTE- PLEASE won’t you just click on this link and hit the blue button that says VOTE ( as easy as that) or take a browse through the gallery and VOTE for the one you love.

And I have a little gifty for you today- I made the LO using Rustic Warmth for Shannon into a QP for you too.

You can grab it HERE. http://www.4shared.com/file/222507133/51555f86/kb-rusticwarmth_QP.html

Thanks again and big HUGS and LOVES
