Catch Up Time

Hi all...the prodigal returns!! I bet you thought I was on the missing persons list, it's been a week and no postings. Life has kept me jumping the last 7 days with never a dull moment. So first I'll fill you in a little on my week..and then a gift!!,

The Theme Park trip on Friday went well but I am still struggling to get the photos off my old camera..it's holding on to them and won't let me download them!! I need to have an other wrestling match with it tomorrow and see if it will finally relinquish it's hold.

It was Lilly's first time at a park like this and she loved the kiddie rides..too much so...she didn't want to get off. I was of course overprotective and made a wonderful sight on the children's rides in the backseat...Lilly naturally was driving, lol. My children thought it was hilarious...an 19month old in the front and grandma in the back. I have to admit it was a tight squeeze and it raised a few eyebrows...but I did it!! Mind you I don't think I need have bothered as the little lady in question was squealing with glee. It was definitely her kind of thing.

Lilly and her parents stayed until Monday evening, so the weekend was full to overflowing with events, but it was all great fun. On Saturday we went to the street market in Lymington and browsed. There were eight of us and we kept loosing each other, but eventually we reunited in time to eat. I love markets they have such a wide variety of goodies on sale and the atmosphere is brilliant.

I told you that I was putting together some bookcases with doors...well here they are. This was taken last Thursday before the company arrived. Tuesday I finished filling them with books and they look so much better, but I thought I'd let you have a peek. I still need to get the mirrors and pictures up in the rest of the room and find the accent touches, like changing the lamp shades, cushions, new curtains...need I go on? But it gives you an idea of what I've been up to. I'll post some more photos as it progresses.

The sun shone on Sunday and the lovely Lilly threw her clothes away and so we spent the day covering her in sun cream. Good job it was water proof for every time we put it on...she headed for the paddling pool!! Typical! But we all enjoy the day and the sun was beautiful, warmth...how I love it.

However, when Tuesday dawned, it was work as usual for me, time to pay the price and catchup on the backlog. But I can honestly say it was worth it. It's taken me three days of hard slog but I'm back to the point that by the weekend ....I'll be ready for the next round of chaos!!! Lol!

Now, my gift for you. I hope there is something for everyone, designers, scrappers, Photoshop lovers, whatever ....or that's my hope. It's just some simple folded or curled papers, but they can be used in so many different ways. Each piece is quite large, that way it expands the range of things you can use them for. They're large enough to use as mats in you work, or scaled down they can be used for embellishments...your choice.

If you design there's a grayscale pack to download...if not then there is a separate pack of coloured examples to add to your pages. Or grab them both!!! I hope you have fun playing with them and adding your own personal touches to make them your own.

Well, time for me to go. Take care and have a great evening/day!!

Kessa said...

Well I must say thankyou first up June for the wonderful folded papers as I usually waffle on and forget - lol.

So pleased to hear you had a wonderful time with the family but where are the photos of you on the ride with Lilly - I hope they aren't the ones which the camera won't let go of.

I love browsing markets too - although I always end up spending more than I intended. It looks like you have been having the most beautiful summer days too. How wonderful.

Your room looks wonderful and the bookcases are fabulous - it's great to have ones with doors too.

Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Keryn

Did you know that Panama hats come from Ecuador. The center of that industry is a town called Jipi Japa (pronouced: Hippy Hoppah). I've been there and watched them making these marvelous creations.

Good morning:)
LOVE your papers and thank you so much for sharing them with me.:)
I sure hope Lilly's foot will heal quickly.You are right..it only takes a second to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.:( My Grandma spilled hot grease down her black boots when she was little and it scarred her feet terribly.:( She accidentally knocked a pan of hot grease off of the stove and when they tried to pull her socks off..the skin came too.OWWW!:(
I LOVE the layout of Lilly and the bird on her shoulder.Isn't it amazing what can be done these days?:)It's also amazing what people can think of doing.Sooo much talent!!:)
Have a wonderful day and thanks again for sharing YOUR wonderful talent with us.:)

Hugs,
Valinda

Hi, June,

These busy times are so fun - taxing, but, so very fun! It sounds like you have enjoyed yourself.

Everybody is playing 'catch-up', it seems, myself included. Folks have been getting the kids ready for school and late vacations. I was without internet for a week because of lightning frying a part of my motherboard. LOL I didn't lose anything, thank goodness.

Take care, have fun and we'll see ya when we see ya. LOL

Hugs,

Su
