Summer rain

Hi there ,welcome to my room and thanks for calling in .

Over 40 degrees here again on Saturday  ..I AM SO OVER THIS HEAT!!
But then I think of blogging pals in UK or USA who are having extreme weather events of their own  and I think to myself , that I am not so bad off .
I hope that you are all coping ok ..
Just had enough craft time after the sun went down to finish a DT card for Make it Monday Linky Party # 178.

Femme Fatale

Hi just a quick post .
Welcome to my room and thanks for calling in . Still hot here and my carer role keeping me quite busy .
Doug and I could stand it no more and went out early this morning , gophered to our favourite trail .

Had some mighty windy storms here  recently so there were many trees suffering such as this one . A huge branch fallen .

And the Koala we saw seemed really lethargic .

 

I have managed a couple of cards as I was quite excited by the arrival of some new CDs from Kraftyhands .I am so far behind my DT samples that I thought I had better front up with these .

                
Femme Fatale CD Collection now available

You will find the CD here ...
OOPS sorry this is a longer post than I thought that it would be .

   Catch you again soon , cheers for now Shirley-Anne.

Leaning on a lamp post

Hello Blog pals , followers and visitors alike . Welcome to my room .

What a scorcher of a weekend ! Got no crafting done ; just too hot .
In the low 40/44  degrees Celsius and I think that's like 113 degrees  Fahrenheit .

Because  my image from this weeks sponsor came through early,  I did manage to make this card before the heat arrived .

So without any fuss Make it Monday # 177 Linky Party is open .

Using Sheriff Bobby
