It was sad to see Carla and Travis leave today back to England but it was also lovely being able to catchup with them too.It was for the saddest of reasons but it also brought us back together for a few weeks.Safe journey home to you both.And we will see you soon in the next couple of months for a much happier occasion next time.

The color room #37 and a couple of cards

                                       I have soo many of these colors that i have made two layouts.I have used scrapmatts swirls on the above page and ther lampost ,little bird and butterfly.

 I also created some cards

I have been away on the weekend Mikayla and i went on a road trip down to Mount Gambier.We had a lovely time with Charm and her family.Thanks so much for your hospitality Charm it took my mind off a very sad and depressing week.And thank you for being such an amazing non judgmental friend.You sure are a compassionate person they do not come around very often.

When i got home i did realize that the week has to start again,I am going with Travis today for support while he views Don,and tomorrow will be his funeral,such a sad sad couple of days and my thoughts are with his parents such a tragic loss for them.May you rest in peace Don we love you and miss you.
And to Travis may you find the strength to get through some of the toughest days ahead we are here for you and we love you unconditionally.

A devasting loss of life

To my sons best friend Donald Charles Williams may you rest in peace.You have been in our lives for such a longtime that it is going to be so hard not to miss you constantly.You have travelled the world and run a muk with Travis and have done so many crazy and dangerous things along the way.
You are such a infectious beautiful boy and a lovable rouge.It is such a sad loss of life,You died on your birthday at 31 years of age.I will always remember your cheeky grin and those shirts that you had me iron for you.I am so glad that we had the chance of being a part of your life rest in peace buddy we love you xx

The color room #35

Well these are another lot of colors that i wwould rarely use But put them altogether and they are stunning.I was certainly inspired by Stephs paper choice this week and i had  just bought this range last week myself so couldn't have been better timing.I feel in love with the flowers is that a surprise anyone that knows me knows i am a flower freak.And they know that i always cut out flowers and patterned paper i have been told that i am crazy do you think ,no don't answer that.

Emmaline did this double bow a few weeks ago and i loved the look of it so i have done one that i like.I have used the a base of a sketch that i found on www.sketchsavvyblogspot.com number #13 by Susan Stringfellow,I swung the sketch around to suit what i wanted.They have some great sketches on the site whether you use them all or just a bit they give yo a bit of inspiration that's for sure.

Please help if you can

To help out a friend sometimes there are just diamonds in this world and Lea is certainly one.
I have known Lea through scrapbooking for a few  years now and she is an amazing mum

I have decided to do a layout and card each week for the color room so then when i need one for a birthday i have them on hand.I have already given away last weeks two cards.We have so many members in the family that you need a supply on hand.

All the papers that i have used for this week are Heidi grace papers They went well with the color rooms palette this week.Lydell's sketch for the card and layout was really pretty this week.I had a great birthday

and it was nice to catch up with family and have dinner too.Not long now until our 4th grandchild is born maybe two more  weeks.Fun times ahead.
