Oh my has it been a rough week! One of the beauties of working (and living) with kids is that they so very kindly share their germs... I knew when taking on my job that I would of course catch the odd cough or cold, but unfortunately sometimes you get hit a bit harder. I have literally spent the past 5 days on the sofa recovering from a nasty dose of tonsillitis. I have had almost a week of hiding under blankets and watching copious amounts of daytime (and middle of the night) TV. (In this time I have solved a murder in Midsomer, with the helpful knowledge of Miss Marple, while doing a spot of shopping at the Antiques Roadshow, all the while I have had Kirstie & Phil scouting out the perfect Grand Design for me to put all my wares. HAHA)
But moving on... Before I was attacked by yukky germs, I was able to finish the page I mentioned a couple of posts back, as well as make a couple of cards. The photos on this page were taken at our family picnic on Australia Day. It was such a beautiful day in tranquil surroundings, filled with much love and laughter with special someones. After lunch, Caitie and I were lazing on the picnic blanket when she proclaimed "I do hair Helly!" So without further ado here is the result:

Earlier this month was my best friend Jane's birthday (you guys first met her here). I was working for her birthday celebrations so we caught up a couple of days later and shared a delightful breakfast at a local new cafe. I hadn't made a birthday card in ages (gosh! I hadn't made any type of card in ages) and was so excited to put this one together. I am so in love with twine at the moment and was uber happy that I could incorporate it on her card.
Materials
Paper/Cardstock: Cherry Delicious (by Sassafras), Smoothies Cardstock (in "Kraft" by Bazzill)
Embellishments: Paper fasteners made using Circle Nestabilities die cuts (by Spellbinders), eyelets from my stash and Twine (by Kikki-K).
Well lovely peeps, that is all for the scrappy side of things. As usual, I will leave you with the most recent PAD pics for your viewing pleasure.
