I am used to opening up my file where all my scrap stuff sits...and then waiting...wandering off...watering the garden, making a cup of coffee, visiting a friend and then coming back and then it opens!! Now it is like literally 2 seconds and it is open!
Anyway...I have been busy with all kinds of things. One of them is redoing my daughter's room.
I had a printer's tray in her room which was plain and brown...quite ugly and I thought I could do something with it! So together her and I painted it...my hubby calls this color "primer pink" but actually it is a very nice color! I have one wall in my bedroom this color too (much to his dismay-ha ha)
I then cut out little blocks from various scrap papers, following a theme of roses and also pinks, cream, green, blue and purple. I must say I LOVE the result.
Here it is with everything back in! A lot of these little goodies I have had since my own childhood! So everything is precious!
I also got her these cute rose handles for her desk which is also brown...needs a paint! But that is for another time.
And then this pink bookshelf which has cute heart cut out's on the side.Now she has more space for her books and toys which I also got some cute baskets for her to store her stuff.
And I saw this whilst shopping for her and got it for my kitchen, love it!
And I have also been spending a lot of time in my garden, which is something I love. I adore gardening! (next to scrapping! lol!) Here is a photo of my cat Chloe... she is a cross breed of a Persian.
Some flowers
I adore these purple saboidas.
The kids "tree house" where the cat normally parks for the day!Last week we went to the nature reserve after school...if you read this blog often, you will know how much I love to go there...it is my favorite "retreat" -quite, peaceful and beautiful.
We went for a long walk up the mountain, here are some pics of the views from up there-amazing.
Love this bird!
See the pink flowers? Wotsonia's
I will be back with more news tomorrow....have a good day!! Drop a line if you stopped by! :)

Glad you are back Loved what you did with that curio cabinet.....using those gorgeous papers. That park you so often frequent does look peaceful and relaxing and those views are to die for. Do those mountains ever get snow on them?
love the printers tray I have two which i keep meaning to clean up a bit i might just steal your idea though possibly just the papers and leave the sides wood.. must get them out of the loft and have a look I keep meaning to put my minitures in them.
I LOVE the shelf you customized with the scrap paper!! It is gorgeous. I'm a big shabby chic guru and your items makes me smile.
I found you blog from google. I'm actually looking for a "bonbon" that wrote me a comment and left a question with a link to a profile that had no profile on it. That wouldn't happen to be you??

Your daughter's room is just gorgeous!
I think our computers must have some wierd psychic connection - mine completely died shortly after I commented last week, but Adron got me a new computer and it's sweet! We have the highest level of DSL available here, so download time hasn't changed any, but unzip time sure has LOL! Woohooo!!!
Emma's room looks gorgeous!! And your garden, wow, I can't believe how stunning it is looking!
Bonnie I love the nature shots, so beautiful.
I completely understand about computer speed, it's great when you're able to upgrade a bit. I always wonder how I got along at the snails pace I was using, welcome to the 21st century sweet Bonnie!
