And, what better way to return than to take part in the latest sketch from my favourite challenge blog - Stuck On U Sketches.....
The sketch, by Stuck On U Sketches own Sandi Clarkson....
I have used the beautiful Vintage Blue Collection from Glitz Designs....
Stamp is from Magenta.....
Live, laugh, love sheet and the wee birds are from the Glitz Vintage Blue Paper Layers....
The ribbon is by My Mind's Eye - Stella & Rose "Hattie Boy Trims"
Title block is Nestabilities - Labels Eighteen....
No photo or title yet, not quite organized enough. My stash of photo's are still on their way from Australia. Our shipped belongings are due to arrive mid May......
You've obviously gathered that we arrived in Scotland safely, following a few days in Dubai (LOVE Dubai), on the way HOME......
However, we had only been home three days (staying with daughter) when the wee Scottish buggies got me - and boy they got me good. I was laid up for days, really crook with flu like symptoms - every muscle ached, didn't know I had that many muscles....lol!!!
Survived that, was well for about three days and then a stomach bug got me. Laid up again - I won't go into details.....ugh!!!!
Survived that, and now I have the cold.....que sera sera......LOL
We have now moved into our new home here in Scotland, and just getting used to life back home after twelve years away - weird.....
The biggest thing I have noticed is that everyone I talk to on the phone has the same accent as me - cool. No more having to spell my surname - Stirling. Easy for the Scots.....LOL
Spending sooooooo much time with my children and granddaughters, they pop in practically every day. Not complaining - this is why we came home - Love it. And the wee ones love Granny's house - they have a room to die for. Will post photo's once we get it furnished - a wee girl's dream....
And we are on the beach - I wake up to the most stunning view every morning.
The weather for the first few weeks we were home was amazing. It was really mild. Everyone was running around in shorts!!!
Then, yesterday, 4th April, it was snowing!!!!!!
And here was me thinking I would have the seasons the right way round again.....LOL
Anyway, I'm back. Hoping to get round to all my friends' blogs over the next day or so - look out for me lurking around again.....
Have missed you all...
See you next time...
Hugs
