With the great onset of spring I'm finding myself out mowing the lawns every weekend, nothing wrong with that, but it's a big space to mow, add in the normal household chores and that means less time spent scrapbooking lol. Still lovely to be out and about in shorts and a t-shirt and to have loads of washing drying on the line.
The Culverden fete was okay but if you're a North Islander and you've been to the big Coromandel fair in January then that beats it hands down. I had in my head because of their advertising that it would be very Christmassy and fairly crafty - as in lots of handmade objects, food etc. But alas it was like a heap of shops there with stalls. Lots of food stalls - which is to be expected - but very few of them were Christmas focused. On the food front Donna brought paneforte and I brought some hazlenut stuffing. There were quite a few clothes stalls, very upmarket - and it was far to cold to be trying on clothes I tell you LOL! The other things I brought on the day were two bags (a handbag and a beachy kind of bag) and two bubble blowers. However it was still neat to be out and about for the day and we did stop at a cafe in Culverden township and have the most divine scone with cream and fresh strawberries YUM! While wandering around we ran into a Mum and Dad whose boys Donna and I had both taught, so that was just lovely. Her and hubby had come down to Hamner for a long weekend.
Last month I was chosen as being in the spotlight over at Scrappin Patch, which for those who don't know, they send you a little pack of goodies to play with and then you put what you did on the forum. So the two Jillibean layouts are for that and the other layout was to use up your Basic Grey scraps - the older the better - well these were pretty old LOL!
Dad, if you read this, our landline is on the blink, that's why you can't get hold of us using that. Telecom will be out tomorrow (will they really???) to have a look...and hey lucky the plane didn't land at your place lol!
Have a great week everyone.

Neat layouts, Trace! And huge congrats for being in the spotlight, very cool indeed! You'll have to do a layout about mowing your lawns I think ;-)
Hey Congratulations, Trace!
I, too, never knew you were selected and yet I belong to that forum.
I don't get the time to visit very often but will have to up my game so I don't miss out on important news like yours again.
