Krafting it UP...

This month over at Kraft it up we had this awesome sketch to use.

love this sketch - so much you could do with it and I had the perfect photos of the boys.

Here is my layout....

I love the beach during winter - I am soooo not a hot weather girl!! The ocean is angry and rough during winter and the beach is always alot quieter which I love too. We often go to Torquay for the day - and now that we have a family house a couple of blocks from the beach (yay), we can stay overnight and go for freezing cold adventures during the night too - the boys especially love it..

the best part is spending hours finding treasures the ocean has thrown from the waves to be admired on shore, and searching rock pools for little fish and crabs.

 But its funny - even though the boys are still young, they know not to take anything with them - not even the gorgeous coloured sea weeds we find - not even a cuttle fish or a cool round stone....

 above is a close up of my paint effect (mimicking the foam from the crashing waves...???) and my gorgeous little swallow... and an eyelet...how long has it been since you used an eyelet???

and another close up ... because I can...

Oh - and the dreaded "gastro" miraculously cleared up yesterday when the man smelt choc chip slice wafting from the oven... he asked if he could have a piece ... and I just said,  "well... no... I wouldn't because you have been sooo sick, we wouldn't want to upset you tummy again..."

 Oh I am never going to heaven!!!  Hee hee hee
