A BIG CATCH UP!


Finally school holidays here in Tasmania!
The girls and I are away visiting family for this next week (dh couldnt come as he had to work so is at home looking after cat and birds)

And after having the past week in Melbourne working and getting home, had only time to unpack my suitcase, wash and dry clothes, and then repack to trip off again, but at least this time its to relax.

Anyway, while being away, so many of my scrappy projects that I had prepared a few weeks ago (did mammoth effort to make deadlines!!!) have been revealed - so here they are:
