First post of 2011!

Welcome to 2011, hope your year will be a fantastic one!

We have just returned from a month long vacation at our holiday house in Somerset West, near Cape Town. We have not been for 2 years, and were shocked at the state of our garden and pool!

So we spent a lot of time doing some landscaping, the boys had quite a tan after it all!The result!And a clean pool!

We took hundreds of photos, will show you some over the next few days, toooo many for just one post!

We spent some time with Mark's brother and family
Wine Tasting and a picnic!An evening out at a seafood restaurantOf course I saw my sister, Bonnie and her family and my DadAnd an old friend
My sister Bonnie of Bonnie van Esch Designs has a brand new website and store, be sure to pop in and see her gorgeous stuff!

That's all for today. Please pop in tomorrow for my first freebie of the year and lots of new goodies!

Last post of the year!

Can you believe it's December already, how this year has flown? It certainly hasn't been the best year in my life, but really I don't have too much to complain about. We leave for our vacation probably on 7th or 8th, a long 19 hour drive to Somerset West where we have out holiday house, Mark and I, 3 of our kids and 3 of their friends/girlfriends (out oldest Wesley has already taken his leave this year and is staying here to keep an eye on the house and animals), and our 3 dogs are going with us.Our friends Riana and Wessel will join us on the 16th for 3 weeks .

So this is my last blog post until January!
