New garden makeover

Wow I thought we would never get finished. BUT we did it. AND now I have it planted out already. Very inspired to be able to let the sun shine inside the house.

My friend and I started chopping the tree away from the powerlines as part or our Horticulture course project. AND then I called on my husband to help me with the finishing touches, WELL, I just went berserk...

The trees were gorgeous and we realised that we had a lot of privacy, but I really wanted a better light for the inside of the house for winter. Now it is summer it is sooo bright. We all love it. 

Everybody passing by, can now see we need to paint the house...ANOTHER job finished, and another job to start. Where it takes you is amazing.

Have fun. will post again sometime down the track on the progress of the garden. Watering like mad. :)

From "Over the road". What a huge job we accomplished.

The Artful Stampers -Team Challenge Blog Hop - Colour Challenge #56

The Artful Stampers -Team Challenge Blog Hop - Colour Challenge #56


A really simple and easy easy card. These colours suit the Very Vanilla base colour very very well.
I haven't used this stamp and punch set in a while. No bling or embellishments for a change, and I don't think it needs it.

Enjoy the hop. As I clean up my garden for a snake free summer...

The Artful Stampers -Team Challenge Blog Hop 49 - Sketch Challenge #53
Due to lack of supplies while on holiday I thought I would use MDS again for this sketch challenge. AND when I get home I will add a made card to this post, hopefully...

Here is my challenge:
What a gorgeous display. This year the rhodo's and azaleas in my garden are going to be beautiful.
The parrots have missed our tree this year and we have beautiful full cherry blossoms this season.
And the chooks love resting on my seat.
Have a lovely start to the week.
