Storms,rain, ice and lots of Spirit

Holey crap! What the hell has happened to the weather?? Especially here in South Africa. The temps have dropped to below freezing in a lot of areas- getting SNOW where we shouldn’t and floods in a ton of others. Hellllo??? this is “sunny South Africa” summer or winter- lol

The last two days here have been STORMS, gale force wind- no electricity, no water and oh- internet as slow as setting cement when it is on! lol

After a nights winds and rain taken from my balcony- and this was a “construction” site-

I do NOT want to be the one cleaning THAT portable toilet- BWHAHAHAHAHA!

Yesterday we had great excitement here as “sleet” had fallen in Johannesburg and in areas around where my sisters( GS Creations) lives- Dullstroom. She said it’s tooo cold where she is and they are getting ICE but no snow yet- damn…!. LOL.  I’m waiting for the call to tell me it’s snowing as I have NEVER ever even seen it – let alone “play” in it and I’m sure Caden and I would have a blast! hahaha.

(snow in the Eastern Cape- Drakensburg area)

Poor Nathan and my Dad are being flooded out in the Eastern Cape ( PE) - and it’s STILL raining. I’m just glad both are safe and the house has no damage- phew! It’s so hard being away when disasters strike like this. But I know my boy can handle anything that the weather throws at him and he has enough phone numbers to dial in an emergency.

Stay safe and DRY my boy!

And with all this disaster going on around us here- there was some GOOD SPIRIT happening in the background- lol.

Jenni’s son Tristan is having his 21st Birthday this weekend and her daughter Cherye asked me for a “girly Indian styled” kit for all the girls photos as she could find tons of “Western cowboy” stuff but nothing to use for the girls that were all going as “Indians”.

Of COURSE I jumped at it and has a blast spending just on three weeks creating this one! AT the moment it is on my FAVOURITE kit designed list- lol

Hi Kimmie, thanks for the awesome freebie, looks like another awesome, must have kit. Guess you guys are copping the same crazy weather we are getting, winter temps are usually around 23c, but yesterday we had the coldest day in 95 years, 15c, and we are freezing, at least the sun came out today and if you got out of the wind it was bearable, we just don't have the clothes for these cold temps, I can bet the shops are doing a roaring trade, and now they are saying we are going to get rain for the next week,rain & cold, ugh. I'll get the kit and do a post for you Chickie.

Yikes on that weather! We've had a few instances of 30 degree temp differences from one day to the next (with big storms to go with, of course) in the past month or so, too. Stay safe and dry! Your new kit is really pretty--thanks for the freebie!

MoosieD said...

Thanks for the freebie addon ... this is definitely going into my wishlist for "tip day".

It has been bucketing down here in KwaZulu-Natal too, and even I (who hardly feels the cold) have been wrapped up in so many layers I feel like the Michelin Man.

I absolutely LOVE this kit! It's gorgeous. Thanks for the freebie. Really makes me wish I hadn't scrapbooked all my pictures when I lived on the Navajo Reservation.... maybe I will just have to redo some! --Jamie in Utah

Dinphy said...

Wow, what extreme weather! Fingers crossed for your father and Nathan. I don't doubt he could handle things, but you just don't want your kid in flooded areas and you're not there.

I do hope you get to see some snow, it's lots of fun, especially with kids. But do you even have clothes warm enough!?

Anyway... Your new it is A-MAZING!! LOVE the colors, and all the original elements! Oh that dream catcher, feathers, beads, leather strings... GORGEOUS!!

Thank you so much for the freebie!!

Thanks for the add on - must have this kit. Love the LOs and all things Southwest! We live in the desert and good SW kits are hard to find.
Good luck with your weather. Not sure if it's global warming or what??

Jani said...

Love the colors and textures. Thank you

Being Mrs Miles said...

oh dear...

I really did not send the snow
the ice the rain the cccccold
I would not do such a thing
though I'm sure you think me bold

Oh I have envied your pools and sun
All your photos of having fun
but I did not send the stinky wet
I thought bout it once but did not yet

O Kim o Kim little shiver gal
I wish you SUN from this Canuck gal
I wish you sun and warmth and heat
To warm your face and get you off your seat.

*snort!

Your fwend across the puddle
Mrs. Barb

Wonderful kit...thank you so much. Did I understand you have never seen or played in snow. Well in Sunny California we get it...it's awesome in its beauty...it falls silently...it's crisp and clean and fun to play in, ski on and just walk in the chill of evening and listen to it crunch under your feet. It softens the lights. For a little while the world is peaceful and quiet. I love it. I pray you get the chance to experience it.Thank you again...Cynthia Stringer
