Back from Bali

Hi blog friends

Have still been having problems with my blog on my computer at home and reading the help forum on blogger many are experiencing the same problem.

I have a couple of layouts to share that I started before I went to Bali and have only managed to finish them off and not create anything new.  This first layout is of my cute Nephew Lachlan playing with Granddad's tools.  I have used the Kaisercraft On the Move range of papers and collectables, Twine, October Afternoon mini alpha's, AC Thickers and an old Heidi Swapp sticker.

This layout is of an old family photo taken at a picnic day my Mum and her family would go on when they were children.  The photo was emailed and I printed it from the email so it isn't fantastic quality but I thought it was important to document.  Have used Echo Park Time & Seasons range of papers, Prima felt tree, vine, flowers and resin bird. Scrap FX chipboard title and random other bits and pieces.  (One of my ladies has moved but I didn't have time to photograph again - she is back on straight now)

Liz, Maddie and I had a fantastic time in Bali relaxing while our angel "Ketut" took fantastic care of us as always.  We just spent the week relaxing with massages everyday, reading, swimming and basically doing as little as possible.  Had a pool party at the villa for Ketut, Wayan, Gede and their families and they all cooked some great food for us.  We love them all and can't wait to go and visit them again soon!

And finally the boy in the brown shirt is my sponsor boy "Wayan".  He has finished his university now and has a full time job in a resort in Bali.  He has to wait 2 years to be able to go and work on the cruise ships out of the USA. I am so proud of how well he has done and it is fantastic to see that my sponsorship has helped him achieve something so special for him and his family.  Wayan isn't part of the program anymore but him and his family still took the time to come to the party day to see me and help out with the other kids activites.  It was so great to see him giving back to the other kids in appreciation for all the years he got to join in the fun.

It's going to be a hot weekend in Perth so hopefully will have time to put the air con on and sit down and do some scrapping.  Mind you Western Power have advised me they will be turning off my power on Sudnay from 7.30am till 3.30pm.  Great!!!

Enjoy the rest of the week and to all my family and friends that have had birthdays in this last week (all 6 of you) hope you had a special day.  Till next time stay safe and happy scrapping!
