Gutterman Threads
Copic Markers
D/S tape roller & Foam Dots
Bling from stash

I'm running a bit late again as one of hubby's friends is down from Queensland for his brother's 50th birthday. He has Down's Syndrome and is a lovely guy so turning 50 is a big deal for him.
We travelled up into the hills to have dinner with all the family. Another brother travelling from New Zealand to help celebrate.
It has been another wet & wild day and we could see some of the flooded areas and also some of the exit roads were closed off as well.
So.... off to bed for me,  Hope to see your entry over at the challenge blog.
Thanks for stopping by,
Take Care,
Hugs, Sandy
