LSNED DAY 5 and Shimelle's Sketch of the Week

Today I learned that setting the alarm and getting up early, is the best way to get outside jobs done in the heat.......this is not a new lesson, just one I have to re-learn every other week!


You will, of course, have noticed that I have the oldest phone in the world!!


This is Shimelle's Sketch of the Week.....

scrapbooking sketch

......this is my 'take' on it...I cheated and used the border strip instead of paint...I still never like the effect when I try it (though love it on other peoples' LOs!).





I have to say I am far happier with it, than I was last week's!

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

    It is the same here when it gets hot - you have to be up with the sparrows to get anything done!

    Yes, I'm learning that lesson this week too. With everyone getting up earlier to get out for school, I'm getting a lot more done during the day!

    Lovely page, and the border works really well. Envying you the heat, though - I need to get up early too but it's freezing here!

    What a pretty page!! Love your concertina flower! Here we have the same issues so everyone wakes up by 5 in the morning! Not me though - 7 is early enough as I stay up late :)
