It's been a good week

I can't believe that it is already the 12th of September, however considering we have had two birthdays this week i really should know that without thinking too hard.
On Tuesday it was my dear hubbies 38th and the following day our big boy turned 16.
Wow, time really does fly !

Last week ( ok on August 31st ) i was the lucky winner of a pattern from Willow Valley Store in Cathy's 10000 visitor giveaway. I went for another bag pattern ...... you can never have too many bags.


Then yesterday my bag from Linda's Bag Swap arrived. My swap partner was Bonnie from Calamity Janes Cottage

Bonnie sent a lovely bag, in the colours i love and she included a great little zippered pouch (complete with chocolates) , a gorgeous froggy brooch and some lovely mags. Wasn't i spoilt ?!

Today i sent off my bag for my partner XXXXXX in the X.X.X. I had lots of fun making a special gift to go with the bag , something that is very fitting for my swap partner when you see her blog. Unfortunately the only pics of this gift are on Lynda's (BozzyBlog) camera so you will have to wait to see what it is. If Leanne Beasley happens to read this ... yes i got her made and sent and i reckon she turned out very nicely to boot, i just hope she behaves herself on the long trip.

I thought i would get in on the act and find some pretty flora to photograph. What do you think ?
