Take Your Family to Work Day

Sorry there are not photos from yesterday. It was another busy day, but this time not doing the tourist thing, but taking my sister to work with me at Wesley Owen. I managed to find lots of little jobs she could do that didn't involve too much training. She did some data entry of invoices received to track our spending budget. As well my manager got her to do some mailing out for him of some book order he had from a convention he has just got back from. It was also a very special day, as it was our Deputy Managers last day, after working for Wesley Owen for the last 10 years. Lots of regular customers were coming in all day to say good-bye. His family of four lovely children and his wife also visited us making it a very lively day. At the end of the day we gave him a book will all sorts of comments in it from customers, staff and staff from other shops as well. Then we prayed for him and all departed. Everyone was very close to tears, but we managed to keep it up beat and a happy time.

We decided to have a nice quiet evening in. Peter cooked us a lovely meal of salt beef, potatoes and veggies. Yvonne had her first try of fresh cooked soy beans and enjoyed them very much. After dinner we went for a short walk around the neighbour hood to see if we could see any foxes. Yvonne has been wanting to see one ever since she came. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to see one. Then it was back indoors for a quick game of Monopoly cards and then to bed. I can't believe that today will be her last day here. I have to work, but Peter is planning to take her on a boat ride along the Thames. Stay tuned for hopefully more photo's and updates.

Hip Bday!

Made this card ages ago, but didn't upload it until my nephew received it this week for his birthday. It's done with K&Co and Basic Grey papers and the image is a sticker. Letters are done with Hero Arts stamps. The Layout is based on ISMAKI #21 challenge sketch.

Cheese, Game and Small

This is for this weeks entry for the Photo Scavenger Hunt. I really struggled with this weeks words "Cheese, Game and Small" At first I wasn't sure that I could get one photo with all the words, so I tried a few photo of a giant game board we have that has a mouse game in it. Then I decided to use a piece of cheese as a game piece. After seeing the "mini" Babybel in the fridge I thought this could be small as well. So ended up with this photo of "Small Cheese and Game". I also did a few really small shots of seed beads. A couple of my favourites are below. Thanks for looking!
