Monday musings

It's Monday, another day nearer to my holiday, do hope my passport come through the postbox this week.
I really have to do a thorough clean of the lounge. I have really heavy furniture and not an awful lot of room for manoeuvres so I don't often pull out and clean underneath. I wonder if I'll find any treasures?
Apart from buttons and a magazine I don't think I've read there was nothing of interest at all. Shame.

My picture for the day is my little teddy with my magnifying glasses a good way to know where they are as I am always loosing them. (mind you I can only find the one pair and I have at least three)

So lets get back to more interesting things. I finished a page late Sunday night, (well really very very early Monday morning)



it had been sitting on my desk all Sunday afternoon and when I returned after my lovely afternoon with Neil and family I looked at it and thought I'll just do a little, well when the ideas are flowing go with it and as usual I forgot the time until I had it all completed.

I have been following the Loch of Lowes Ospreys for several weeks and yesterday we saw the first of the three eggs crack open and a little chick is hatched so exciting and we are so privileged to have such a grand view of the nest thanks to the dedicated team who keep guard 24/7 during the whole time the osprey are in Scotland

The weekly challenge on UKScrappers this week is to use two photos, Black & White with a touch of Yellow, Something old and something new and, because it was set by the crafty Magpies team to use a line from the poem

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told,
Eight for a wish,
Nine for a kiss,
Ten for a bird you never want to miss.

that last line was perfect for the Osprey, but as I have no photos of my own I borrowed two stunning ones from the Wildlife village site. They are all superb photos, which to choose, I chose two by Paul Jessett

I kept the page simple and stylish as befits such stunning photograph I really didn't want to distract from them.

Today I am grateful for getting the housework done early enough to be able to scrap
for the excitement of the first hatching
