Paper beads and day-tripping

WOW! Where has the past week gone? Last Sunday, Aaron and I made paper beads and what fun we had! This is the first of a range of technique projects that Ro is planning for our email art group - Global Brushstrokes. Mine are the red beads and Aaron's are the green and pink ones.

I even got to make some more little notebooks.....YES.....you know how I LOVE those! We embellished the notebooks with our beads. I think they look great!

I'm pretty sure Aaron is planning on giving his to, Michelle, his sister......so Shell, if you read this, keep it to yourself. hehehe

Update on the Lorikeet and Jack Russell terrier paintings - Deidre and her husband, Clarry, LOVED them! She sent me a beautiful card of thanks. Apparently, they both got quite emotional and even cried. Brad, my eldest son, took this pic (with his mobile phone) of the paintings in their new home.



Yesterday, Beau decided to take me, Brad and Aaron for a drive to the country. I adore long, country drives! Heck, who needs a roller-coaster ride when Beau is driving?!! My stomach did quite a few jolts going up and down the hilly areas..... hehehe




We stopped at Burgess Park -

There are camping facilities there too.

A lone dandelion greeted me on the creek bank -




You wouldn't think we were in the middle of winter with what we're wearing, would you?

We stopped at the side of the road to take some pics and the cows immediately gathered around. Such inquisitive animals. I love their large ears.

The road home -
We had a fabulous day!
