Afternoon everyone,

Just a quick card today, as I am still in cleaning mode. I found a stash of Basic Grey papers and decided to use those. Very pretty shades of colour in Basic Grey stuff! I bought these papers over two years ago in Melbourne, so really they were in need of snipping! The cockatoo stamp is one of my oldest. Cockatoos are all white except for the feathers on their head. A raucous bird but I like them! (Better than the noisy little kookaburras who sit on the electricity wires before dawn to entertain us!)

Afternoon all,

Nearly three o'clock and I have managed only one card today. I spent most of the morning checking out people's blogs...Bit of a time muncher that activity!

I found this old stamp of mine laying around and thought I would resurrect it for the day. It was one of my earlier purchases. I think one should have a closer look at stamps bought squillions of years ago and give them a little TLC and inking. Actually, tis not a bad idea coz the ink will condition the stamp and help it last quite a few more years yet!

Any Australian stamp makers out there...We need some good old Aussie slang. I had lots of ideas for wording for this card but in the end used a generic greeting. (Yes, I could have generated one on here...but I was in lazy mode!)

Lucky me...Off to dinner out tonight! No cooking...But better rest up if I am going to have a late one! Tis raining again...Well has really stopped?
