UKS January week 3 challenge

This week's challenge on UKS was set my Mary Buttons and Tiger Lady. It was nice and easy again which is what I like. We had to follow the sketch made by Mary, use all shades of one colour and use a one word title...easy peasy :) This is a pic of our garden the other day during one of our many tropical downpoors. Only a couple of months before it stops (I hope). I don't really mind the rain but it does make everything wet and damp but at least its not cold.

UKS monthly challenge was to follow the sketch, nothing else so a nice easy one. Its been raining a lot here and the 'plantation' was flooded which ruined most of our plants. When the water had gone down Clara and Bailey helped Made the gardener to clear up the mess. And got very messy themselves in the process.

Ladies who Lunch

I hosted a lunch at our place just after new Year....there's a packet of Jaffa caks on the table. Took weeks to get here and minutes to polish off!

We had lunch at the Bonsai restaurant on the beach in sanur before Debbie and Neil left to go back to Australia. Only 6 and a bit months before they're back for their wedding.

More pages from Christmas 2011

Debbie and Neil came to Bali to arrange their wedding in July 2012 and stayed with us a few days before Christmas. We had such a lovely time and it seemed a shame not to include them in our first journal. Better than putting them in an album and maybe never seeing the light of day again as a lot of my LO's do.

The start of our first Simons Family 2012 journal.

This is the first page of our 2012 journal. It actually started a few days before the New year but hey who's counting?
