If I can make it there I'll make it Anywhere-New York New York

Yip in a months time Coral and I will be off to New York to visit with Veronica and Janine. We're gonna take a bite of that Big Apple and spit out the rest.Whooppee!! Can't wait for this journey to begin.Lifetimes are made of memories( and photos of those memories, of course). Here's hoping for great weather and good times.Come on Summer-Come on!

Then its off to visit my favourite city-Vancouver-it's like Cape Town-only there's REALLY BIG mountains-you know what I mean.Rhones is fetching us in Seattle-heard so much about that city-can't wait to explore!

What a privilege it is to be able to do this right now.

wedded bliss

Rhones and Renee are out from Vancouver-its been wonderful having them bake out on my stoep. We managed to leave the stoep for a morning and go off to the Elephant Sanctuary near Hartebeespoort Dam. It was awesome-Rhone and Rachel were brave enough to be kissed by elephants on their cheeks!Got cute pics! We attended Alex and Mariettes wedding-what a pretty pair they made.May Love and Mercy follow them all the days of their lives.Got great pics!I have so much to scrap now-its a little overwhelming.On the first we will meet Tim Holz at another Scrapbook convention-can't wait. On the second I will fly down to Durbs for Michelles wedding-what a busy lady I am.Blessings Hails.PS: Josh got his learners and nags to drive everywhere-everyday!

Creativity

I think that when we are being creative we really are touching the heart of our Father-God. After all he is the ultimate creator and has made us in His image.We are just the some of the most privileged women alive to be able to do what we do-freely and with some measure of peace. My heart goes out to women everywhere in this world who do not have the same freedoms I do; who cannot worship as I do or have beautiful,crazy arguments with families-as I often do or who cannot just take time out as we are now and make something beautiful.Wilnas classes are just brilliant-I know how much effort it takes just to come up with an original scrapbook page- never mind a series of art works like these.To all of you reading this blog -if you don't know what I'm talking about see Wilnas link on the right hand side of this blog.

Much Love to one and all

A New Season

There is so much to look forward to this year.Little things we take for granted-time spent with our children in conversation; time spent driving them around on their crazy schedules;time spent cooking them great meals-all the things they probably will not look back and remember-but I will. There is no time like right now to enjoy right now. My family have this saying;"Who gave you tomorrow?" So today let me do things right-it may be the only opportunity I get.

This photo is right outside Rhones' house in Vancouver-pretty isn't it?
I won a prize on Wilna's blog so my heart berry happy!I love stuff!!!
