New PTU Kit "Rose Garden" plus FREEBIE

:: ROSE GARDEN ::

"Rose Garden" is the third in my Floral Collection. It is fragrantly filled with an abundance of roses from what could be your garden, complete with a beautiful log cabin and an exquisite gazebo. I have tried to depict a kind of romance with this kit as roses are often associated with love and lovers, but whilst keeping the feel of simplicity.

If you love roses then "Rose Garden" would be a fabulous addition to your collection!

Happy birthday to Ra
Happy birthday to Ra
Happy birthday dear Ciara....
Happy birthday to Ra!!!

My baby girl is 5 today! And what a spoilt princess she is. But for her today is no different from any other day as she lounges on HER bed (the one she lets mummy and daddy share with her - how very kind..lol) and plays with her multitude of toys and having barking fun with daddy. For her special day she got another toy for her collection to destroy...lol....and a cooked meal of chicken livers! Yuk for mummy (whose kitchen now smells) but YUM for Ra who thought they were the best and is wondering if there is any more....lol Yep there is, but that's tomorrow's dinner. lol

Happy birthday baby girl....

A Special Tribute



My neighbour called this evening with the sad news that her beloved dachshund had passed away. As soon I heard her voice I could tell right away something was wrong and my immediate thought was - one of the dogs or the cat. She loves her menagerie of pets (which includes birds, ducks, chooks etc. as well as 3 dogs and a cat) as I love my pooch. She came home yesterday from work and found her 14 year old girl laying peacefully on one of the other dogs' bed. She had not long passed, and as frail as she had been getting, nothing ever prepares you for the shock of it actually happening.

I have lived here just over 6 years now and I have known this little dog all that time. She was only tiny and when I met them I thought she was just a puppy - that is how small she was. Cindy was a little darling, the runt of the litter, but an affectionate and loveable little girl. She didn't like men, children or anything boisterous, and just loved a cuddle. We often joked that she didn't need legs - she had mummy. She was just under 3kg which was tiny but in her favour made it easier to carry around - which she was rather accustomed to. During her time she had seen the comings and goings of many other animals, but in the last couple of years had to endure the arrival of two new much younger and very boisterous maltese terriers - each respectively. And she hated them on sight! lol

I grew very fond of Cindy and often used to spend time cuddling her and pottering the yard with her and her "mummy". I am not a little dog person generally, as I usually find them too yappy for my liking but Cindy had a pathetic charm we used to say - she had certainly mastered the art of pathetic looks and if it were an Olympic event she would win hands down. lol But it was part of her charm and what made her so loveable and unique.

When my neighbour called me with the news this evening I was shocked, and very saddened, as I was rather fond of dear Cindy. I know when losing a pet there is nothing one can do to ease the pain - it is like a part of the family has died, or a part of you has been ripped out of you. I knew there was nothing I could to ease my neighbour's pain, but there was something I could do - as a small gesture to let her know I was thinking of her and that I understand. So I rummaged through my collection of photos on disc, and found the ones I had of Cindy and using my scrap kit "Puppy Love", I made a little card in tribute to a lost friend. It's not much, I know, but it's but a small token to show I understand.

And I know that Cindy will always be missed by all those who loved her.

Well this time I didn't forget you. I've been busy (as usual) but I had some single daffodils over after making up the bunches for the PTU, and so I added a few more bits and pieces and created this Add On for you.

All Aboard! Reflections of our Mothers FREEBIE

All aboard!!! The Brat Pack Train is leaving the station in Australia!
This month with Mother's Day approaching most of us next month we decided to do something different and paint a reflection of our mothers of what depicts them in a kit. There are loads of differing aspects to be had this month and we hope you enjoy the ride!

This one is a reflection of my mother...not the usual feminine type because my mum has always been a bit of a tom-boy (beginning when her mother bought her a pair of jeans which she would never take off! LOL). My mum loves the outdoors and camping, wildlife, nature, flowers and birds. The caravan you see in the preview is my parent's A'van (named for its shape like an A - often referred to as the Viagra van because you can get it up in 30 seconds!! LOL Also featured in here are my parent's kayaks as well. I hope you enjoy this kit.

Don't forget to leave us some love if you download....we love your comments!!

Flamingos Walk Tag by Yours Truly


SURPRISE!!!! Yes, I actually made a tag! lol Hey I might even write a tut out of it, though I usually do those at the same time as making the tag so I don't forget the steps. lol

This is made using my latest kit "A Touch of Paradise", and especially for the inspiration of this kit - Sam I Am...lol (of Sam's Scraps) Her and her plastic flamingos....lol She say anything against my Edward, the Cullens or anything Twilight again I will beat her round the head with them. lol Edward may even kill one of them, though us Fanpires know his aversion to mountain lions....but he can always make an exception. Team Edward forever!
