A sad goodbye

As most of you probably know DSO is closing its doors at the end of August . I can hardly believe it as I have been hanging around there for a couple of years, loved the challenges and posted every LO there. I have got to know Bunny over the years too. When I was a new designer ,wet behind the ears she gave me a lot of advice and even fought a battle or two for me. We will definitively miss DSO!

Bunny is holding a huge SALE and BUY MY STORE promotion.

All the very best with your future endeavors Bunny!! Mwah!

Manic Monday!

Where does time fly to? Only 10 days until we are officially have spring here in South Africa. It has been the coldest Winter here for years, we even had snow in areas where it never snows. Here in Pretoria we has unseasonal hail storms and sleet!

And only a week until my son Wesley leaves for Holland! He is going to a place called Duiven, I haven't been able to find out much about it, except it is wet!

Just some LO's I have scrapped this week, a lot LOL, as I am now on 6 CT's!!

Happy Weekend

The weekend has arrived with gorgeous warmer weather, I think there may be a glint of Spring in the air. I saw Spring blossoms the other day!It has been a looong cold winter and I am ready for sun, cocktails and warm evenings! Sad part of the last month of Winter nearing it's end, is that my son Wesley(the oldest of my four kids) is leaving for the Netherlands on 28th (his 23rd birthday). He has a job there, I am excited for him for this great opportunity but sad that he is going, we will miss him terribly as he still lives at home (in his own flat on our property) Here I am with 2 of my sons, Wes is the dark haired one on the left.Mark (my hubby) is there very often and I am hoping to go in a few months too.

Just showcasing some new kits from my designers:)
