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.
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.
On Earlies again (ick), so I'll schedule this one, and be around visiting this afternoon.

Ambrose is a cutie. It is a true crafter that makes a spill or two! I had one of my new distress paints spill out (sad I wasted so much..ugh..). Butterflies farm looks great!The Museum of Natural History has an exhibit each year where they have them flying. I try and go all the time. So lovely. They place fruit out and they sit on them and eat. Have a great day! Winnie#75
Love that card you've made, ever so lusciously steampunky...yum! Fab photos of the butterflies too, given that its hard to catch them in action :)
Not long now to the crop!

Hi Shaz - I took my boys to the Stratford butterfly farm about 6 years ago - I have a scrapbook page somewhere of two very disgruntled boys one of whom is now terrified of all flying bugs - sometimes a plan goes soooo wrong you wouldn't believe it! Thanks for your visit MMx #72
Oh wow, those butterflies are beautiful - if only I lived nearer! Love the card with the Stampers Anonymous image on it - just stunning. Thanks so much for stopping by, have a great week.
We went to a butterfly farm this weekend too, but none of the butterflies landed on us, although a lorikeet did sit on my hand while I fed him! I feel for you with your spill...that has happened to me on more occassions that I can count, especially with eyelets for some reason! Thanks for sharing. Happy WOYWW. Caro x (#133)

It was a fab weekend wasn't it, even i managed to get outside for a few minutes.
oh dear all those brads, but i guesss it is a bit like beads half the fun can be the sorting, it can be quite relaxing.

Love those butterflies - we go to Williamson Park in Lancaster - my GD loves it! Well done to sorting out those brads again! Thanks for visiting, Chris 90
Oops to the brads all over the floor, just the sort of thing we'd do!
Thanks for visiting the bears this week
Wow! Great shots of some gorgeous butterflies. Oh no to the mishap with the brads. I don't think I would have had the heart to sort them out again!
Enjoy your week x

Hi Shaz,
Gorgeous butterfly pictures!! Love the card you made. Sometimes sorting can be relaxing if you don't have to hurry, BUT I will remember to hold tightly to all the containers...LOL

Hi Shaz, was that a 'brad-a-lanche'??? :-) great butterfly pics - I have one of DH craning over his shoulder to see a ginormous butterfly that attached itself to his butt!! Very funny :-)
And all sunshine gone today, but it was lovely while it lasted
Thanks for your visit

Thos butterflies are amazing and to have one come land on you is so kewl and OMG your collection of brads at least you got them all organized again :) hugs Nikki #13
WOW Shaz those butterfly pics are awesome...nothing like that here in OK! Love your card too! I am having trouble finding the gears and cogs anywhere for my card and tag making. Are you guys having the same problems? Ambrose looks very comfortable there in the shade with one the footsies hanging out to keep the toes warm. Had a black cat once and he was such a sweet baby! Hope you have a great week. Vickie #36
Love the butterfly pics. Your card is so well co-ordinated it's great when something comes together so well. What a disaster with the brads, bet that took a chunk of your day to sort. I have been twinkling for the last few days after knocking over my bottle of deco art glitter lol
Happy art making
Hugs Lottie #131
Gorgeous card and you are amazing to sort through those brads. I would of been tempted to vacuum the lot! The butterfly Farm looks amazing and I agree a lot cleaner then birds. Good luck with the early starts.

Oops! Big Oops!
I last went to a butterfly farm in Guernsey and you are right, they are fabulous. They kept landing on my then fiance and I, but refused to land on this American chap, who got quite frustrated! Tee Hee!
See you very soon.
Doris will be making a showing next wednesday for you all!
Hugs

Only dozens? LOL Such an optimist. And such a task to resort. Thanks for sharing your 'what not to do' LOL
Ambrose looks comfy. I need to spend time in the garden as well... if it ever stops raining on days I don't have to work. Hugs and Blessings - Kelly #103 aka Rain
We have a butterfly farm in Florida. While visiting there years ago we went. It is a bit creepy at first but once you realize they are only butterflies it is fun!!
Your card is awesome!!!

Oh dear, Shaz, all those brads and all that sorting ... what a pain! Love the butterfly photos (hate spiders too. They come in the most amazingly beautiful colours. I visited a butterfly farm in Wigtown some years ago and have a photo somewhere of one that landed on my top - it looks like the most glamorous broach :) Hope the early shift went well. Elizabeth x #53
What a fabby post, from lovely butterflies to sunbathing cats and a rather nice card into the bargain! Oh dear to the brads... have done that myself and hate having to sit and organise them all again! Annette #7
Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos - awesome! And I really love your cards, great!
