A few layouts
a few layouts done while working at the laundry this weekend, we were reasonably quiet after a hectic two weeks & one of the ladies is on leave so for the next 2 weeks I am working. I also have 6 months of project 12 to do (yes 6 months) & I have done 2 except for the journalling so I am getting there.
I don't mind & I get to finish a lot of scrapping......lol. I actually leave all my tote etc in the cupboard & so only bring home finished layouts. I am enjoying the fact that I am now doing mostly done l/outs so I can put them in my album & actually move on.
The photos are not great, my DS dropped my camera into the sea whilst fishing & he has bought me a newer model, more features etc - well I am gratful but really loved my old camera. So have been loathe to use this one & decided to get on with it. I have got lots of work to do lol.
Well I am off to bed as it's an early start for me tomorrow.

Home from holiday
We are all home safe & sound & for me its bliss. Christmas was a hot sunny day in Mozambique with a lovely seafood lunch buffet at the local restaurant & walking on the beach & swimming in the beautiful sea.
I love my family & enjoy our time together always but it can be whew overwhelming. Our cottage in Mozambique has a wonderful view & Alan & I like to sit on the deck overlooking the sea absorbing the quiet, peaceful ocean serenity. Try that when everyone wants you to do things with them, be with them & look at things. Our quiet times were very few & far between.
I am not complaining, I love the fact that our adult children always want to include us & that our sons want their Dad to go fishing, jet skiing etc with them - its fabulous but exhausting. I love walking early every morning when its not too hot, we started off a "tribe" of 7 - yes family & friends. Then we would walk & off would go one to swim or look at the latest fishing boat or dive boat or they met up with friends - so Alan & I plod along enjoying the squeaky white sand & blue waters - cooling off every now & again. Walking back they fell into line with us again we must look like the pied piper - picking up people as we walked.
My sons girlfriend (who is an only child) finds our family overwhelming & she coped really well, but when I would go for an afternoon nap she would join me with her book & it was quiet & peaceful for a short time. Between the three ladies of our group we read about 9 books - which were passed around in turn.
We are now just catching up with all the bits & pieces that need to be done before the new year - its quite scarey for me to think we will be in 2011 so soon.
I have to admit to finding Durban incredibly hot & humid & our lawn looks like a mini jungle from all the rain we have had.
I wish everyone a fabulous 2011 and hope its a year of excitement, growth & peace.
