Friday Smiles

Happy Friday Smiles - for week 92, from me on this very fine evening here in sunny Queensland...really it is a glorious evening, the sun is just setting and there is a lovely breeze to cool the 26 degC. I'm smiling because we are home after 3 weeks with the family...love visiting but everyone knows there's no place like home or your own bed.  Lovely to come home and see my pot plants all looking healthy and flourishing - got new pups on my bromeliads and a big bud on another.
So the mojo has been a bit lacking so far but today I got out a very cheap set of watercolour paints and had a play - they're not too bad but don't 'swim' easily...but have two cards to show, so I'm pleased.  I make lots of cards and pass them onto my mum to use - she was eager for more when I phone this morning...so maybe she egged on my mojo.
Have to also show you this incredible vine we saw on our recent weekend away....called Fraser Island Creeper - a native to our area...a lady had it growing in the caravan park - it's on my must have list.

 

Share a smile... Pop over to Annies blog and join in the SMILES to start off your weekend, Thanks for taking a peek Robyn

  11. If I could manipulate watercolors as well as you, I'd be over the moon. These cards are AWESOME.

    That is a gorgeous vine. I can see why you want one. However, I got a bit concerned when you said your "pot plants" were doing nicely. Here in the States, that would land you in jail (grin). That really made me smile.
