A bit of a mixed bag...

... I said to Margy M that I'd pop up a few photos of what's been happening at ours recently.
Namely, Tom, bless him, decided to build a lovely big deck out front of our house.
BEFORE:

AFTER:
We even have a new door. 90% of the project was built with recycled timbers etc.
We added the recycled door [needs painting yet].
We have to get a security wire screen &
there needs to be bricks around the step down to the grass.
But mostly it's finished!
See Wally in the window??!!!
View to the deck before the door was put in.
And finally, our deck:
The house next door still towers over us, but we're happy in our little cottage with our new deck!!!
And I've a new LO for the challenge over at
I chose 2 photos from last December, which of course,
is our SUMMER over here.
I got to meet up with 2 friends - Donna
up top lives locally, then Mary, below,
lives a good 5 hours away.
Adjusted the sketch to fit 2 photos. But I think you can still see it?!!
I found some free paper from an old Scrapbooking Memories
mag, so put them to use here.
 The banner was in the mag....the FUNKY FLAIR fitted well,,,the papers are a mix,
with some Cocoa Vanilla ones mixed in there....some washi.....
 I've tucked my journaling in a pocket behind the photo under the 'details' tab...
The ice cream is from Mitra & the 'Life is Sweet' tab from
Flutterby Designs....
Hope this one makes you smile - I really enjoyed scrapping it.
Brought back good memories of warm weather and friends!
Happy Scrapping ~ Lizzy

GOODIES FROM & THANKS TO:
