Love thy Neighbour

Hi Everyone, Today I want to tell you about a very special person in my life. When we moved into our neighbourhood and built our house back in 2003, we were the 3rd house to go up on our street so we have had the privilege to see our neighbourhood rise from the sands (so to speak). We watched as people built their homes and moved in. Some people have sold and moved on but a few of us are still here- original owner (thats us).  I got to know a darling old Nanna 4 houses down from us who moved into the granny flat with her son's family and we have been best buds since 2003. She saw me have my first born, she waved me goodbye when I left for Canada for 3 years, she wrote me snail mail while I was away, and she was here to welcome me back when we moved back.

12 Tags of 2015- May Tag

Hello and Welcome Dear Reader, Firstly, my apologies for being a bit late with posting my May Tag!! It's not that I'm lazy. HONEST! I've just had A LOT on my plate lately. But I promise you, everything is slowly coming down to "acceptable crazy" levels rather than "all-out crazy busy". On with the show...here is Tim's Tag for May: I knew as soon as I saw this tag that my grandmother's passport picture, that I have had in my drawer not knowing what to do with it, was going to be the feature item here. I also loved the idea of having a fabric tag..this was going to be a GOOD ONE!! Here is how mine turned out: I would say this month's tag was more a collage type- use-up- your- bits- and-pieces tag than an actual learning- a- new- technique tag. But Im ok with that!! I have drawers of bits and bobs!! Just a closer look at my beautiful Nanna...Rest In Peace darling Nanna..we will be together soon God- Willing..... ...
