Carolina Breeze

Just a quick word from me tonight - we're heading out the door in five minutes....

Off to Scotland for Christmas and New Year....

With no DT committments I have been able to play a wee bit....

This beautiful little album was inspired by Stacy Rodriquez over at the
Teresa Collins Blog...

Using Teresa Collin's gorgeous line Carolina Breeze.....

























Lots of tags and leafs for extra photo's and journaling......





































Didn't actually get time to publish this post while in Australia....

So, we're already home in Scotland - and boy is it cold.....

Some family photo's to share soon....

DT Projects for Inspired Crafts

Hello again everyone - getting closer to Christmas....

Today I am showing my DT projects for the best scrapbook store here in Perth "Inspired Crafts"....

I have been very lazy in posting my projects for them over the last few months, and so there are quite a few here, in no particular order. A mix of 12 x 12 layouts and cards - enjoy....



















































I am really going to miss Christine and Russell, the owners of the store, they are genuinely lovely people and nothing is too much trouble for them....

It has been great to design for their store and an honour to be able to say they are my friends....

And, I am really going to miss shopping there.....

*********

Now, to the other news concerning our return to Scotland.....

Still no offers on the house.....

Hubby and I have decided to go home for Christmas and New Year, and the house will sell when it sells.....

Sadly, as these pictures show, the weather at home is dire to say the least.....




Scotland has been battered by huge storms with winds up to 266kph....

Thousands of schools around Glasgow and the West Coast (home) were closed, while evry major bridge was closed. Flights from the main airports were disrupted and train services were cut....

The Met Office isssued a RED warning for Central Scotland, thought to be the first time such a warning has been issued.....

And we're heading straight home to it....



This photo was taken of the wind farm at home during the storm.....

We must be mad....

The pull of granddchildren....

On another note - this photo was taken earlier tonight....

A group of girls I used to work with at Royal Perth Hospital, all nurses, we still meet regularly for dinner and tonight was another great get together....



I am going to be leaving so many beautiful friends here in Perth - love you girls....
