Hey! Karen. I'm sure your new scrappy desk is wonderful.

Your desk sounds fabulous Karen!
I had a scrappy day yesterday. Just what I needed!!

My desk is wonderfull.. ok i couldn't resist .. here it is..



it's extremely full now, this was while i was still putting everything away...

Looks great Karen.

Work for me today and it is a stormy day. Guess my 8 little rascals wont be outside.

nother warm day here. I'm going out to my shed and keep sorting and tossing if it doesnt get too hot.

SO glad we werent going to the east coast on our usual getaway - read in the paper that they've closed the Freycinet National Park altogether.. and some of the beaches... wouldnt be much fun...

Gonna scrap this afternoon, and my girls come home tonight after a week away at the farm with their grandparents

Ohh Mandy that sounds like a nice day... Julie, I'll gladly swapp you some rain....

oooh how did I miss your desk!!! wowowowowowow!
That looks fantastic you lucky girl!!

No swapping for rain...we have enough of it for the rest of the year!!!!


Two years we had floods and the storm that split our big tree in three and threatened the house and I packed the kids up and abandoned the house, dh and the 5 men that came to help get the tree down without part or all of it falling the wrong way! The girls and I bailed and drove through a massive storm, roads with water that we couldnt see the potholes, and arrived in Coles Bay (east coast) to lovely weather!!! ANd to think what its like this year with bushfires..... what is wrong with our weather!

Oh WOW! Karen....how fabulous is your scrappy area!

Um after the day I had today you wouldn't swap. It may of rained a bit but it was still hot and very very humid. Totally yuk.

I've woken up to smoke and haze this morning...
keeping windows and doors shut - its horrible.

We have fires closer now. Wish it would rain. I'll swap now Julie... shudda done it yesterday!

Ohh no Mandy, please stay safe... Thinking of you.

Take care Mandy.

Nothing too dangerous to us yet, but too close for a lot of our friends. The paper today said if it gets out of control, the costal towns, about half an hour away from us, will be in harms way which are very populated this time of year. There's about 15 fire units attending it atm

I just feel for the wildlife - the lizards, the tassie devils, wombats, wallabies, etc , it has to be horrible for them.

Stay safe Mandy.

Praying those fire get doused with a good shot of rain, Mandy! How scary for you and so sad for those that have lost there homes. even if you have insurance there's always sentimental items that can't ever be replaced.

I've been out weeding and feeding the garden this morning. I'm pooped now. Using my boy's pc as mine is having a "senior moment" ...got a new graphics card to replace my old dying one and the computer now doesn't want to boot up Hopefully my nieces husband can get it working. We going to take it around to him shortly..
