3 Love of Flowers, Given, bought and grown!

I love flowers whether in my house or in my garden. I often buy flowers as a small gift and weekly buy flowers for the house, especially in summer when the CH is turned off.
Here are a selection of flowers that I was given for my 60th birthday in 2005, I bought myself for Valentine's day 2008, an Amaryllis given as a Christmas present 2008 and flowers growing in my garden last year 2008

2 Love of Cooking


Tuesday I made a Spicy bean and vegetable pie from a SW green recipe book. It was delicious but DH didn't eat it because he hates anything with chilli in it so I had the rest of the pie for lunch today.
I LOVE cooking and guess this was why I trained and became a Home Economic teacher though I stopped teaching Food Technology in 1987 and became a primary school teacher.
I HATE the washing up but I am fortunate that DH loves washing up and has done it every day for all our married life , Bless him xx

My 3rd Digi LO

Well I got more ambitious this afternoon and made my third digi LO and had the confidence to use it for the Weekly Challenge on UKS. It took me longer than using papers and stash IRL but what fun and sense of achievement I had!!

1 New love of digital scrapping

Here I am today having my first digi lesson over the phone from my 365 teamie Barbara. My first digi LO was Sorrento and my next was adding to photos and mounting them all on my own, I couldn't remember how to make ribbon or so a 'chalk'edge round the edge of the LO.
I found it hard work and tiring, but LOVED the challenge and the sense of achievment.
My dear friends on 365 have been so supportive and in the post last week were all these CD's from Shirley.
