…our end of year picnic...

…it was so lovely spending a sunny afternoon in the company gardens

for our little get together.  mmmm my mouth waters thinking back to those 

delish guava & cheese tarts that jesse made. our floral themed badges 

felt right at home between all the beautiful plants and trees....

...our 13th get-together...

we had a wonderful time again. vicky spoiled us with not one but two badges each this time. lovely seeing every one. we are looking forward to our year end picnic.

...a look-see from vicky...

...we can't wait for tomorrows get-together. here's a peek at our latest badge's creative process. thank you vicky. you are a star...

...a moody mountain...

... it's always there when you look up. the same but different. a very south african thing. that makes me smile...

…stolen late night kisses...

…i've always loved sneaking into siena's room at night when she's fast asleep 

and stealing kisses. and she just loves looking at the photos the next morning. 

but since starting to teach my evening classes, these kisses have become our little 

ritual, she reminds me on the mornings of my night classes so that i don't forget. 

and nothing makes me smile more, after a looong day, than kissing her 

and waiting to show her the photos the next morning...

...a window with a view...

on a day like today you just can't help but smile, even if people burned 6 busses this morning and it was a struggle to get to work. there are just some things in life that money can't buy. i woke up to the beautiful view in the first photo and came to work to find the welcoming view in the second photo. it's as if spring is slapping a smile on my face today.
