Words on Wednesday - Autumn Dayz

Hi Scrappy Bloggers!
Welcome to Words on Wednesday..... having some fun with quotes, titles and journaling.

Well, we're well into March now and (for us down here in Australia) that means Autumn.
Not that we had much of a Summer this year, but I'm not complaining!
The weather is starting to cool, the rain is setting in, and the scrapbooking toys are beckoning. So here are a few Autumn quotes for those rainy days...

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns".
George Eliot

"I saw old Autumn in the misty morn stand shadowless like silence, listening to silence".
Thomas Hood

"The woods are full of fairies; the sea is full of fish; the trees are full of golden leaves; let's make an autumn wish".
Annonymous

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower".
Albert Camus

And for the Potter fans...

"It's like going back to school. You know, autumn! Time for 'Harry Potter'."
Robbie Coltraine


With apologies to my Northern Hemisphere friends who are looking at the start of Springtime!

Happy Scrapping

Patchwork Easter Card with Bella Blvd

I love the Bella Blvd 'Spring Flings and Easter Things' papers.
Here's a cute little patchwork Easter card I made using little squares cut out from the Borders paper.

Don't you just love those little bunnies?

The Happy and Easter pop-out labels were cut out from MiJeMoo's Easter Skinny Words Green.

Cute little brads, flowers, bits of bling...all sorts of embellishments are right at home on a cute and bright Easter card!

Happy crafting!

Yes, I know, it's been a while. I've been fighting off a terrible virus thingy....and just not feeling up to anything! But my head is starting to clear, I no longer have glass splinters in my throat so...time to get back on the Blogging Horse.


Now sometimes when you hear hooves.....you DO have to think zebras!......

Now - dare I call it "Two Bottoms".......?!.....

Funny Foto Friday - Bill Visits the Staples Centre

Well, wrapping up this series of Bill's LA holiday, here are a couple of pics from Bill's absolute favourite day. You see, Bill is a Melbourne Storm bear, so he's really into sports. Can you imagine his 'barely' concealed excitement (haha) when he visited the Staples Centre?!

I did get a few funny looks when taking this photo but hey - Bill wanted to have his picture taken with the giant Magic Johnson statue....no matter who laughed at him!!

Then lunch....

....at ESPN Zone of course! Where else is a sporty bear to eat. He was BINGing all over the place.

Happy Friday Scrappy Bloggers.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend ahead

Aunty Vera :)
