Flowers and Butterflies, two of my favourite things

I have had a fantastic couple of days, very busy but lots of fun. Yesterday my husband my Uncle and myself went to Canberra for the day and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, it was a bit rushed but my Uncle got an overview of the ACT which he was really happy about, we took lots of photo's. Since we went by bus we got to walk around alot more than previous visits and discovered some lovely areas making Canberra a whole new experience for me. Today we enjoyed a relaxing Sunday in  Windsor which is a country area of Sydney, I love Windsor and try to visit this area regularly. This is going to be my last night of late night creating as I go back to work on Tuesday, I am going to be positive about this and just take it in my stride. I have been at my job for 12 years and things can get a bit difficult there at times, atleast I work with nice people which I am extremely grateful for.

I wasn't going to make a card today but decided to make the time to get a card done. I kept this card simple focusing on the few embellishments, colours and quote.  I also put the main part of the card on a slant to give the card a different look, this is something  I used to do often before but haven't done in a while.
