Limes, layouts and our lad!! :)

Well, we've had this poor ignored lime tree for a few years. It started it's life in a pot and was transplanted a couple of years ago to a garden bed, which was then destroyed but this poor little lime just kept bringing itself back to life and you should see it now. It's glorious and is such a prolific bearer of fruit. I feel a bit bad actually enjoying the limes considering the treatment the poor tree has received but anyhoo, we enjoy them. It's produced more limes than we can handle so I decided to hang a basket of them out the front for the neighbours (we live in a small dead end street) along with a few recipes. We still had quite a few left over so I decided that we'd have a lime inspired dinner with my Mum and Owen's Dad as guests. It was all really delicious. We had Malibu Prawns for entree, Coconut and Lime Fish Fillets with Mustard Lime Mayonaise followed by Coconut and Lime Sorbet and a Coconut Cream Cake with Lemon & Lime Filling (I took photos in case I wanted to scrap any of the recipes). So thank you little lime tree. We've now hooked it up with our irrigation system and given it a bit of mulch and bought it a companion dwarf lemon tree so I hope it will be happy.

On the scrap front I'll quickly show the cards I did for the Scrappy Days Design Team (check out the new header on their site made by Ngaire Bartlem, very cool!!) and a layout I did the other night at a crop. I'm not normally a card maker but I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. I used just about every scrap of one sheet of 12 x 12 and made the envelope card, bookmark, tag and mini card so that's pretty good hey.

And lastly a photo of Jack the lad. He's sooooo cute but so damm dummy obsessed at the moment. Owen was trying to get some good photos of him but he just wouldn't let that dummy go and then when he got it back he was trying to get it back in his mouth so quickly that he missed. He's such a cutie and so sweet and adorable. I sneezed yesterday and he said "Oh, excuse you Mummy". It was so adorable.

Righteo I'm off to bed, gotta work tomorrow.

Oh, but before I go, how much of a bitch is that Michelle on Big Brother. Grrrrrr, she makes my blood boil. I'm even going to vote this week (which is probably why BB put her in in the first place)

Anyhoo...

Ciao
