Being Crafty...

Well it seems as if the fires were arson....they found coke bottles with candles inside them. Why anyone would deliberately set fires that destroy hundreds of kilometers of forest, vegetation, animals-is beyond me. They are still raging on, but the smoke and ash has lifted from our area. The fires are still burning some very nice wine estates.....and they are battling to put them out. Vergelegen, Knoerhoek and Lourensford Wine farms. They have 70 fire fighters working in shifts and water bombs are being dropped too. This is the 4th week now of fighting these fires.

I am being crafty lately. I altered this catalog into some type of journal. Well it could be used as a notebook, journal, photo album, scrap book-whatever really. I am doing a series of these for friends and one for myself. I also might do a GIVE-AWAY of one of these on my blog, so watch this space!







Today I got a new pair of shoes

and my hubby bought me this ring I was hinting at last year for our anniversary which was in October...I am so surprised he remembered the ring. I love it!

Arson? Are you serious? That is insane!!! I can only imagine what would happen to the people behind it if they ever got caught!

That journal is stunning - I am always in awe of the beautiful creations you come up with!

And those shoes are just darling :o) I adore the mary jane styles so much! In fact, I looked and looked until I found just the right mary janes for my wedding lol! I love your taste in jewelry, too. So clean and graceful, the sweeping lines just let the beauty of the stone sparkle =D

Have a wonderful day, sweetie!!!
