Happy Saturday everyone, and welcome to Simply Saturday! I went very simple today because I had to get my card done very quickly. When DH suggested taking the boys out for an ice cream when we picked Justin up from work I couldn't resist (not that I eat ice cream), but it's great to do things together :)
I went with an idea I have seen many times, and I spent ages trying to find the original blog post of whoever it may have been, where I saw it, of course this was months and months ago. I do think that it may have been Sandie C who sends me great email updates of incredible ideas....so thanks Sandie if it was you LOL!!
What do you think? A CAS card? And monochromatic? I think so, so that is what we'll go with this week - CAS and monochromatic, and if you like, one of these torn flowers, from the many blogs I've seen them on!
I must admit that I find it hard to be random - as I've probably said - so I did try to 'neaten' my torn flowers. Stuck them together with glue dots and added a couple of buttons. Really these are super quick!
Thank you to the ladies that took part last week, I was thrilled you joined me! Using random.org I came up with two numbers for the blog candy 4 and 1, so congratulations Crystal and Sue! To the other ladies I would love to send you out a little surprise as well, so if you could all email me with your addresses I'll get those out to you ASAP!
I think I mentioned we had had some much needed rain, so I thought I would include a couple of photos I took yesterday afternoon.
This one probably doesn't show it very clearly, but we received 67mm or just over 2 1/2" in 24hrs - Yay!
These are the cow troughs in our paddock, but the cows didn't have to walk as far today! The girls belong to the farmer next door, and they're beautiful.
And one last photo, because I don't want to bore you too much :) is our small dam. This was bone dry with huge cracks, and now look at it, isn't it just too exciting! See the white pipe? There was a silly yabbie hanging out of it - backwards - and he was not going to be pulled through. We had to leave him to wait until the water stopped flowing so he could walk his way back!
Hope you can play along this week!
