Did I say dustbowl?

Did I say dust bowl lol?!!!!!

This is our backyard this morning after the storm last night. The problem is that when it was dug out the bobcat man had to dig lower than the stormwater pipe so had to dig it up. Now the rain from the roof comes down the downpipe and straight on to the dirt. We told the girls we'd finally decided to put in a swimming pool but they weren't impressed. Funny that:-)

We have a collage artist in the family. Melissa disappeared into her bedroom to do a layout and finally emerged with this. I was quite impressed, I'm just not sure how to store it. Any ideas anyone?

It's so nice to have a long weekend. The girls don't have school tomorrow (curriculum day) and then of course it's Melbourne Cup public holiday so I'm not going to work until wednesday.

A friend is getting married tomorrow evening and it's within walking distance so I hope the weather holds out. Should be fun.

Have a great week!

Cybercrop

Two layouts for Bonsscraps cyber crop.

The first was based on a sketch and the second had to use certain items. I'm trying to use up my stash as I have so many supplies it's a bit ridiculous, especially flowers and ribbons.

Now saying that....

I went to Scraptacular today as I needed some more white and black bazzil (still my faves for background cardstock) and also bought a 1 and a half inch circular punch. Have been putting off buying one for about 2 years but it is the perfect size for the Alison Ellis my cuts.

Also bought a mini HS butterfly mask and some beautiful Queen & Co felt, oh and a Hambly sheet of transparencies. I guess I didn't go too mad - no pp to add to my stash.

This is what our back yard looks like

except that we now have a concrete driveway up to the garage. It's great fun living in a dust bowl. Eventually we will have a covered deck - hopefully in time for christmas!

Hope you're having fun:-)
