Father's day

I love the colours of this card!  And well, as we all know I LOVE the owl punch!!  I think it's missing a branch..so I've order the Little Leaves die and plan to add that under "dad" once it arrives :)

Pigs

Once, when my son was young and in Beavers, they took a field trip to a nearby pig farm.  When we got there, I was terrified!  They were HUGE!  Definitely not the "babe" pigs I was expecting!!  I stuck to the very middle of the aisle and tried not to share my fear with my son who really wanted to pet the beasts!!  


On Friday, I forced my friend Olivia to accompany me to a nearby park (I've added a few pictures to "MY PHOTOS".  Here is one of the highlights of our trip....

These pigs were so darn cute.  Poor mama was being followed around by one of them wanting to eat..she finally gave up and headed into the "barn" so she could at least lie down.

Cupcakes

After hearing that the Cupcake Girls have opened a store here in Victoria (http://www.originalcupcakes.com),  I have been thinking of nothing else!  

Mmmmm love cupcakes!!

I have to say....my cupcakes are soooo not comparable to theirs!!!

Thoughts and Prayers

Here is a card I made using the tree from Thoughts & Prayers.

You can't tell from the picture but the leaves are two different colours and embossed..

Germany / Deutschland

http://wiki.worldflicks.org/weitenung.html

The summer before grade 6 my family moved to Germany.

We lived in military housing in Weitenung on Hoffnermattenstrasse (sorry, can't add the correct letters).  The above link takes you to the small town/village we lived in.  I can still find my house (well apartment) on the map....and find my way to what used to be the base by following the roads.

We lived there from August 1983 until August 1988, and I can honestly say they were some of the best times of my life... so far. ;)   I made wonderful, life long friends and travelled to more places than my kids could ever imagine.

I keep typing and deleting :)  I have soo much to say about my time over there..the places I went..the things I learnt...

Have you ever been to Germany?
