Last week


I made some more castile soap - with lemon grass essential oil this time.  It's now drying - the worst part is waiting for it to be ready to use.  Have loved using the last batch with a slight lavender smell or rather a nana smell according to Kim!

The girls used some of their pocket money to purchase some littlest pet shop blythe doll sets and set to creating some bunk beds and furniture for them.  We found a suitable house at the Salvation Army store in Saturday morning.

And then there's Henry.  Jase has never wanted another cat, till he met Henry that is.  He suggested it.  Henry is as busy as Mr 7 is.  A water pistol is in order to keep Henry off the curtain rails.

This week...loving Hip, Hip, Hooray on Melissa and Tamar's blogs.  Want to get some clothes of the kids fixed and continue cleaning down our PC, backing up photos etc from the last couple of years and get on with some photo projects as snapfish has summer sale on.

yay for soap making! I love castile soap too and lemongrass would have to be one of my favourite scents!

Many Blessings,

thunderpants inspired

Here it is Karen - inspired by thunderpants! Had fun doodling. Love that I found that quote - fits the pic very aptly! Got my hands on clean & simple the sequel by Cathy Z today - such a good read so far!!! Also got a letter from Pride Publishing - they want one of my A-Z Lo's for publication in issue 44 - so exciting (just wish I live with a bunch of scrappers who understand what this means to me - but then I 'd have to share my stash!). Donna also got a letter - congrats Donna! (her links down to the lower right of my blog) To all those scrap camping - this weekend - hope it's a good one at whichever camp you are at. I'm looking forward to mine next weekend!

blenheim

We are currently in Blenheim. Have been doing some of the wineries - a work trip for Jase - we just get to go along! I'v been playing with some of the phaunt actions by Kylie Banks- my faves are phaunt magic instant & then beastly colour. Got the links from an online class at Scrapbook Outlet with Mandi Haynes. above: Katya on a walk in Waikari with Jases parents. Below - Harold the older giraffe at Orana Park, just before I met Vicki & checked out the stamping up catalogue. Jase & I joined a winery tour today - was a great way to meet some different people & to see & learn a little bit about some of the local wineries. Feel quite isolated without my home internet connection though!
