Birthday Celebrations the Native Way
March 31, 2009 by Ruth
The last few weeks have gone like a click of the fingers, and I must apologise for not post much more, I am adjusting to part time work, as well as keeping the house in order and organising Birthday Parties, you see it was my Dad’s 60th Birthday Party on the weekend and even though I didn’t have to organise a lot I set it as a goal in my diary to get a lot of things done around the house etc that I needed to get done, so effectively I have been running around like a mad hatter, Anyway, getting back to the party, it was such lovely weather and everyone had a nice weekend. I found it quite relaxing.
My daughter turned 1 last week, it only seems like yesterday I was introducing her to you all, so it has been a very busy few weeks.
The photo today is of the Photo Album I made for my dad that had lots of photos of him, depicting different times in his life and adventures he has been on. He loves native flowers and as soon as I saw this stamp set (Bloom Away) I had to buy it. You can also buy it starting tomorrow. The new Ideas Book and Catalogue is out!!!!! Yipeee with lots of new things. I just can’t wait.
It is a great water colour stamp set and I am looking foward to using it a lot more.

A New Year
The year has started off to be very busy, which means I need to be super organised. Yesterday I spent most of the day trying to clean up our study which I did slowly. I feel like it will never end. However I will embark on doing a little more today.
As promised in my last entry I said that I had done quite a lot of stamping and scrapbooking before Christmas but didn’t get a chance to take photos of the projects. Well this morning I did.
Today’s photo is of my daughter. I scrapped this page for a desk calander that we gave to my husband for Christmas. The photo was taken by my youngest sister in November.
Stamps: Eastern Blooms
