Well, what a surprise! A Bank Holiday, and Sunshine! When did that last happen? We had ourselves an afternoon out around Stratford on Avon- some quality us time, but blimey was it packed.Takes about 35 minutes from here to the outskirts of Stratford- about 16 miles. Then I think it took the same amount of time to do a mile & a half to the centre to park!
They have an awesome Butterfly Farm, which we didn't do yesterday, but
have before now. Gorgeous butterflies, which land on you as you go
around. I guess that will freak out anyone who's not keen- I know how
I'd react if it was spiders, lol.
I have a Butterfly on my shoulder- less messy than a parrot, at least. The little one on the left with completely transparent wings was amazing.
They also have lizards & geckos wandering around.
Anyway, enough of the Nature Trail.
Wednesday again, so its time to all meet at Auntie Julias Stamping Ground for this weeks snoop.
Been glorious weather here,so we've been in the garden a lot, which means there isn't too much on my desk this week. To be truthful, it was mainly on the floor, but more of that in a moment.
One card finished from the stuff on my desk last week, The main image is a Stampers Anonymous stamp, some paper from a Prima pad called Craftsman, and a Tim Holtz Retro Circles embossing folder.
Now, the stuff on the floor: Lesson #84- always make sure you have a firm grip on ALL the tubs you lift down from the shelf, not just the bottom one. Because when the top one slides off, its going to get messy.
Brads everywhere.Dozens of 'em.
Worst bit was they had all been sorted out into little pots of separate colours. So I swept them up, and sorted again.
One last pic, Ambrose topping up his tan on the decking, lol. Although he'd got that hot, he'd moved to a shady patch, under some offcuts from our Yew tree.
On Earlies again (ick), so I'll schedule this one, and be around visiting this afternoon.
