My Favourite Tree

This would have to be my favourite tree in our garden, (the photo doesn't really do it justice) most of the year you don't even notice it but come Spring time WOW you can see these trees when you turn into our street they are just stunning. At the moment we have about 6 of these trees (if someone knows what they are called please tell me, we call them yellow trumpet trees, my Dad brought the seeds down from north Queensland.) they propagate really easily and I just keep putting more through the gardens.





I have been working on the "M" of my home but it is taking longer then expected here is a sneak peak.




My youngest son is 9 and just completed his first swapbot swap "kids ATC's" I let him loose in my craft room and this is what he came up with. I was so proud I think that he did a wonderful job and he did it all by himself.





Hope that you all have a great week and those of you that have the children home for the school holidays aren't going to crazy.





Cheers,

Yeah It's Finally Spring

If you have been reading my blog for a little while you might of noticed by now that I'm not to fond of Winter, in fact I hate the cold. It wouldn't be so bad if it was cold enough that we got snow here then it would be worth it, but I'm afraid that would never happen here, and yes compaired to the extreme cold that some of you girls put up with I know that I'm just a sook.



It is now finally starting to warm up here, last night at touch football I only had one jumper on, and my nose wasn't cold. Now if only we could get some rain to green up the grass I would be a very happy girl. So enough about the weather, I have been busy with a few more swaps here are some of the things that I have been making.

Black and White ATC's

Zoo Animals ATC's

and some more inchies
Now on a sader note a couple of weeks ago we lost two members of our budgie family, Snowy and Sunny were a lovely couple, and I have know idea what happened Sunny was fine one minute then just died, Snowy went the next day, I'm only new to budgie keeping and I have know idea what happened the others all seem to be fine, the boys were a pretty upset and we have left their cage empty still. At least now they are still together in Budgie Heaven.

Beautiful Snowy
Handsome Sunny

Now I know that it has been a while since I last did any of the ABC of my home, but at the moment I am stuck on M which is my youngest sons bedroom and it is not yet ready to be photographed as soon as it is I will continue on with the rest of the alphabet.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful week and I hope to pop in to you all soon.

Cheers,

I have to confess

I have become addicted, to swapbot. I first heard about swapbot on Suze's blog, and decided to check it out since I had so much fun with the parasols and paper swap. I have now discovered a world of ATC's, whimsy jars and inchies and my sons postcard, stamp and coin collections are growing very quickly. I have meet and swapped parcels with some lovely ladies all over the world. So again I apologise if I haven't caught up with you all much lately, but since I have now finished all the business paperwork (yeah) I can put more time into blogging and swapping.

Here's a couple of the ATC's that I have made ( sorry some of the photos are a bit blurry, my camera is acting up a bit lately) -

and my first inchies -
