4 Cats and an awful lot of mess

It's Spring here in Mauritius, the cherry blossom is stunning, it's windy (the south coast especially so) and it seems to rain overnight. The temperature is supposed to be in the low 20's but during the day once the wind drops, the skies turn bright blue and it's been hitting 26. For me that's a bit hot for doing too...

When MP's Dad died he requested that his ashes be scattered at his favourite place in his birthplace Mauritius so he left some money for the 3 boys to travel to Mauritius to do this. MPs youngest brother took out the ashes earlier in the year (another free trip) and plans made for us all to fly to Mauritius in September...

Not been on to update blog for a while, reason being ......... took a bit of a tumble, broke my scaphoid and consequently am sporting a dashing blue splint. Normal service hopes to resume shortly...

Maria Ontiveras over at Gallo Organico is running her summer photography scavenger hunt again this year. It's great fun for photographers and not and adds fun to days out. Here is the list of things to photograph this summer: 1. A sign welcoming people to your home town (or a nearby town)2. A garden gnome3. Birds on a...

I know it's been a while but I am busy doing university stuff at the moment so not been doing any scrapping or pretty much anything really. I am enjoying the reading but not doing well on the essay writing front. I gave a draft of the first half of my essay to a colleague to critique and it didn't fair well. As a consequence...

Still loving my Scraptastic kit and so desperately want to kill it before the next one arrives. The April kits were gorgeous and it was difficult to chose one but I did and this is the one I went for after much deliberation - the worth wondering kit and just had to have the matching stamp set So before I get...

I am loving my first Scraptasic kit. I am not a quick scrapper so I have only managed one layout so far This is Sam at the hydrotherapy having a little rest in between swi...

Yesterday was an odd day, we had all 4 seasons in one day including heavy snow at one point so a perfect day for staying in with a roaring fire lit, catching up on some tv recorded through the week and doing some scrapping. I have finished my February project life (will post pics later) and now I can do some layouts....

Over on the Sodalicious website they have some gorgeous new papers and a great giveaway ........ Why not pop over and have a look&nbs...

I said I would post up, so here are some of the layouts I have done since Christmas, far more fun than studying. Maggie Holmes papers Cream Paint October Afternoon Sprinklers Kit from Studio Calico Dear Lizzy Papers Gesso sprayed background Crate Papers Freckled Fawn wood veneers A close...

Wonderful news ....... my car is finally back from the repairers following it's accident in the middle of December. I wasn't that keen on it at first but having driven 5 other cars in the last 10 weeks it has made me realise what a great car it is. So welcome back baby, i'm surprised to say, I have missed you. Next...

Well that's 2013 behind us. It's been a good year in some ways and a bad one in others. On a positive note we had a lovely summer, I am really enjoying my job, I've managed to complete my first year of project life (only 1 month behind) and I got accepted to start a Masters degree in 2014. The downside has been that Sam...
