All who pass, Ye be warned.

I come today with a cautionary tale. A tale of woe. Of regret. Of lost things. I come with warnings.

There once a maid, who toiled day after day. Imputing, upkeeping and preparing. Though far behind, as the deadline loomed she did not dispair quite yet. Rather he forged on with nary a thought to preserving the fruits of her labour. Then, one fatefull April day, as the month waned, tragedy struck with all the brute force of mother nature. The skies turned dark and the heavens seemed torn open as flash after flash, roll after roll. Shook the earth. And when at last, the fury subsided and all became deceitfully calm oncemore, the fair maid wept for her wasted toil.


And so I leave you with this. When the skies pour down and the sun shies away, save or all may be lost.

it's thunderstorm season and mother nature doesn't wait. Happy (saving &) Scrapping ♥

A Celebration of Sorts.

Today I bring you a double-celebration.

First the obvious. Today marks the 20th anniversary of my birth. Which is a fancy and pretentious sounding way of saying it's my 20th Birthday (which I'm sure you figured out). Meh.

Now that that is out of the way, the really awesome news! I have my first comment! Yay!
So a big thank you to Jen Graham of Graham Like The Cracker. I love her stuff and am just so excited I got a comment. I've only just noticed it now because my Internets been down and I've been browsing almost exclusively on my iPod for the past month and a half and only just sucked it up and paid for an application that will allow me to use blogger with my iTouch.

Here's a celebratory freebie for the occasion. Enjoy!Happy Scrapping ♥

Spring: Redux

Didn't we play this scene already? The patches of grass through the receding blanket of white, the rivers of sand in the gutters. For those who don't already know (and let's face it, that's probably most of you. I haven't exactly been faithful with the posts) We've been experiencing some 'roller coaster weather'. Just last week (the 2nd to be exact. It was H's birthday) we were enjoying some +20 sunlight and dry pavement. Now, the only sign we didn't imagine it, is that the grass, now slowly reappearing, is the bright, healthy green of April and not the sickly yellow of March.

It's coming though. Slowly but surely, and not a moment too soon. Only 1 week until my birthday!

♥ Happy Scrapping
