Been in the garden aaaaaalllllll day!

I kid you not! I've had breakfast out there, lunch out there and heading out there for tea! It's not often that we see so much sun in this neck of the woods!
We've been busy today sorting out for our BBQ on Saturday. We have a big garden and hubs has the run of most of it. I just do the prettifying and dead heading :D We were sat minding our own business at lunch when a dragonfly decided to take a tour! He stayed around for quite a while buzzing here and there.

Hubs has cut the grass. Isn't it amazing how different a garden can look with a grass cut?!
Here are some blooms from the garden


I finished my ATC. I'm quite pleased with it but I do think I need to be more arty with the next one. The theme is Oriental and I've used a backing paper with kimono and fans. I have no idea what the chinese peel offs mean, but I hope it's polite ;)

I'm baaaaaack!!

Hello! I don't know who reads my blog but I'm back to say hello. I know it's been too long but now the Summer holidays are here I can spend longer (well over the next couple of weeks!) adding about my life. I've been very busy over the past few weeks. School broke up on July 13th and I went away straight away with my Mum. We had a lovely few days on the South coast with blazing sunshine, only getting caught in the rain on the way back.

I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on Saturday night and I loved it! A bit slow going I thought to start off with but once it got going I couldn't put it down! Can it really be the end? Leave a message if you've read it and what you thought of it :) I'm back to 'From the corner of his eye' by Koontz. A good book that seems nothing like the blurb on the back to me LOL I'm over half way through and the main character is only 2 and a half and hasn't gone blind yet!! Weird but very good!

Got a few things to do today. Tidy my craft room to start off with and then make my first ATC (Artist Trading Card). I'm looking forward to having a go at something a bit different. The theme is Oriental for this one. Then I've got to start making the invites for my parents party. They are having a joint 65th and 70th in September. Everyone knows about it, but you have to have invites don't you?
