what little boys are made of

I found this rhyme on pinterest and thought it was so cute!
then i remembered one from years back so here it is also.

When G"d made little boys
He made them out of string
He found he had too much so He left a little thing

When G"d made little girls
He made them out of lace
He found he had too little so He left a little space



hope this gives you a little chuckle

SA crafters looking to get away

I met an amazing lady the other day, she informas me that they do weekends away for crafters in SA.  I couldnt believe i hadnt heard about this.
Well they have a weekend planned for the 1st and 2nd of September, go check it out here
If that doesn't suit you, they are also doing a retreat to Clarens soon.
I just thought what an amazing idea for one to meet fellow paper crafters and get to play in a tranquil enviroment.

SNOW!!!! in Africa

it has been snowing all day
it started off as a light dusting and then it came down like a blizzard

hope this keeps up all night and we wake up tomorrow morning to a white world.
already told my kids no school tomorrow if its snowing, bring on the snow, yeeeeha!!!!!

this whole day has been just magical to me having grown up in SA what are the odds that i would ever encounter snow, and for my kids i think this may be a once in a lifetime phenomenon, why not enjoy it while we can i say.
