Happy Birthday

 Afternoon All

Woke up to thunder and lightening this morning, it progressively became worse , we had very heavy rainfall for about 30 minutes with strong winds blowing. It has been showering on and off all morning, its again become dark, Its nearly time to pick the kids up from school, so of course it will rain again.

Watching the news with so many greatly effective  with whole houses being washed away by the rain and death toll rising, I pray this is over soon.

Yesterday i started to put some of my layouts away into their receptive albums. It did clear the box I kept them in . Must learn to put them away once blogged or photograph.  I have to do our Great Granddaughters yet, so many to sort , I will do some more this afternoon. 

I have two rooms pulled apart and craft  stuff everywhere, due to having water in the rooms I will be going through it and donating what I don't need. 

This morning I decided to do something fun and messy (I do hate messy) . I decided to do Archiscraps Challenge.  The criteria was to use Scalloped Edges and Texture (Hence the messy)
