Its so lovely and quite today. I think everyone is driving around . I have been to see my spine specialistwho wants to run some  more tests before we work on next steps.

Summer Love

Afternoon all,

I have sat an completed another layout with some very old holidaysnaps from the early 80s . We had been home for Christmas to see the parents and in-laws from N.S.W and on our way back to Western Australia,  we were towing a trailer packed filled with lots of shopping and our camping equipment.  We where going to spend the night just out of Mildura,  but instead didn't quite make it, the trailer snapped an axle. We had the trailer towed to somewhere that could fix it , but the part was not available so,we need to fine a home base for our unexpected stay. The Murray River caravan Park became our home base for 10days

Set up camp beside the river,  so peaceful in the evenings,  back then their was plenty of wild life.

We watched the River Streamer backwards and forwards on the river. And did a lot of sightseeing through the area. Interacted with the fruit pickers and the locals, it was a lovely place to be stranded. The kids loved it. They swam in the river,  we did lots of walksin the area.

The layout is for Mystical Scrapbooks. This month its all about Sketches,  plus and add extra. With this sketch it was to add chipboard and colour, paint or other form of medium to colour it

I have used inks plus Dimensional Magic on my two pieces

Morning 

Blue skies this morning, it's going to be a lovely fine day , tops of 32 degree's a bit warm.

This morning I thought I would take down some china bits and pieces and give them a bath and clean the shelf. Finished two shelves so a start ( standing like that gives me pins and needles. So lit bits at a time have 7 shelves I want to do.

Today's layout is Challenge No: 2 for Mystical Scrapbooking . This month they have 2 Sketches and a cyber crop on the 15th.

 Morning all

The sun is streaming through the window   it was quite mild yesterday mid 20s with low humidity,  but today is expected to hit 32 degrees and high humidity.  I suppose it is Summer here in Australia.

I am sharing the second layout for Mystical Scrapbooks monthly challenge which I did yesterday.

https://mysticalscrapbooks.blogspot.com

This month's second challenge was to use Splatters. I usually muck them up and the layout looks terrible, so decided to mark out where I want my photo and mats, then I splatter before I  put anything down it work well enough that I am pleased with the end result, but had to change it up a bit as I wanted  to use a landscape  photo. But could not find it so turned it around and added a portrait photo

I hope you like what I have  done.
