The weather finally stayed dry enough for me to sort the garden out. It took two days and the help of my beautiful assistant:
I was totally shocked when she agreed to come and help in the garden, she hates the garden. I was even more shocked when, later in the day, I found her doing her homework without being told to! Anyhow, we transformed the garden from this:
To this:
And this:
As soon as the garden was done the rain started again so I haven't really had a chance to sit in it and enjoy the efforts of our hard work. I do love my garden and want to do something with it but I just don't know where to start!
I have managed to find some time for scrapping and thought I'd share this picture of my brother, Jon, with his beautiful grand-daughter, Charlotte:
It was taken on Christmas Day and, so far, none of my pictures of that day have been scrapped using Christmas papers, I will have to rectify that :)
I've been doing the Cover to Cover class with Shimelle. I wasn't going to join in because I thought my albums were in a pretty decent order but after reading the first prompt I realised they weren't. I have found a ton of gaps, one of the biggest gaps is a holiday in America that me and Maddie went on just after her dad left. I've got a crop at the weekend and those holiday snaps will be scrapped :)
I hope you've had a good week.
Thanks for stopping by
