Beach Days

Sunscreen, hats, beach towels, Mr Whippy Icecream, rock cods, ‘fwimp’, friends at the bach next door, sand under foot all day – beach days are what has kept me from my blog for the last week or so. It’s a time of year that we all look forward to and it’s sad to see it come to an end. A lot of the pics I took, I did so with the thought of making a double layout with lots of tiny snapshots and just one-word prompt for memories, perhaps as I have written in the opening sentence.

One of my favourite things would be fishing off the wharf at Ferry’s Landing and Abby lying on her tummy with a net scooping through the water, she brings it out of the water and screams ‘A fwimp! A Fwimp! I have a Fwimp!” Of course she is meaning ‘shrimp’ but the line of people waiting to catch the next ferry (which goes every 10 minutes, so there was a lot of them!) thought she was so cute as she tipped them from her net proudly into the bucket. And on a sidenote, it’s amazing what a girl that broke her collarbone clean in two 10 days beforehand can do.

Another fav pic, well actually series of pics, was late yesterday afternoon. Abby found this stick and flower on the walk back from the beach and decided it was a microphone. The kids all showered outside under the solar shower and afterwards Abby sung her little hart out dancing around on the deck.

Lucky for me I created an album before summer started to house some of my fav 07-08 pics. The whole album can be seen here at the newly uploaded January Tarisota Gallery.

Last note – scrappy stuff – I see Scenic Route has released a mini line they have come out with. It’s called ‘Lynden’ and details can be seen on Layle’s blog, along with a giveaway. So run on over and leave a comment! Nothing like a new line of Scenic Route to get the mojo pumping.

I have also just put up details of Queen & Co’s new mini line – A Valentine’s line – it can be seen on the blog here.

The full range can be seen here on the Queen & co site.

ok. Places to go.. fish to catch.. then we are on our way home…
