Winter Chills.

Well the cooler weather has arrived and brought with it the usual coughs and colds. Zachary has been off day care for a week with tonsillitis, runny nose etc. My daughter Jen had to have two days off work with a chest infection, and now they seem to have passed their germs on to me. Looks like I'll have to lay in a supply of tissues for now, and hope it doesn't last too long.
I had a visit from an old friend on Friday, which was lovely as we haven't seen each other for quite some time. During our conversation we realized that it has been 6 years since she moved away. Oh boy, where did that time go! She brought me up to date on all the work she has been doing, quilting etc. She really is a high achiever, and a lovely lady with it. Makes me feel quite inspired. Maybe even enough to get out my sewing machine. We'll see how it goes.

What happened to April?

This is my page for another challenge from SBF's. Every day for a month Alicia posts a clue on the forum and you have to search the online store for the answer. At the end of the month you have 10 days to complete and upload your page. Another enjoyable challenge.
I'm not sure what happened to April. It disappeared without a trace. I can't believe I didn't have time to visit and update my blog.
I did manage to do some scrapbooking though. This is my page for a create-a-layout challenge on the forum of Scrapbook Fantasies, my favourite local srapbook shop. The idea is that someone starts a list of items to be included in a layout. Anybody is welcome to add to the list until there are twenty items on it, then you have a week to finish and upload your layout. It's a bit of fun trying to fit 20 items on a page.
