Hello, I hope you all had a fabulous New Year and are looking forward to 2015. We've not had a brilliant start here in Sth Australia with major bushfires. Normally I don't know anyone involved in local catastrophes but this time is different. An ex-sister-in-law whose house is still standing but the fire was very close. They have a small farm and the fire was on their road. Her hubby is a firefighter and she and her son and dog had to evacuate the property. Several friends evacuated to other people's homes and two of our children in different suburbs had problems breathing because of the smoke. This not only affected country people, but was close to several Adelaide outer suburbs too. One of our granddaughters is asthmatic and luckily she was okay and the wind changed direction. The fire is still going and lots of our volunteer firefighters are still out there waging war against the fire.
Hopefully the fire will soon be out, I think they have also done some back-burning to stop it spreading.
On a happier note, we had a lovely restful holiday with friends staying with them near the beach and celebrating his 60th birthday. We watched the midnight fireworks display on New Year's Eve and then wishes him a happy birthday for the 1st day of 2015.

Hi Sandy , what a fabulous masculine card with awesome image and great papers love the watch too .
ReplyDeleteHappy New year to you and yours ..
hugs Shirley
This is a combination of two of my favorites - masculine and vintage, which I personally find really difficult to combine on one and the same card. But you certainly pulled it off! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous card...great layout. So sorry to hear about your family and friends with the fires but glad to hear they are all safe. I hear that there is rain down your way now which will be a relief.
