A busy weekend and some birthday gifts

So the first weekend in March was lovelly - loads of sunshine and reasonably warm. Saturday was great I had a little lie in and Jeremy and Jake took a walk with the dog using Jake's new back carrier (Thank you Cousin Jo!).

We then headed out to the garden. The corner of the near part of the house or aim. Little did we know that there was an out of control rose to contend with and so many bamboos and grasses. First the pampass grass had it's yearly chop - then the rest of the stuff started to go - who knew we had so many different pots as well - at least that means for my herbs I don't have to get some new ones. Well eventually it was cleared and now we've decided to get rid of the little brick patio completly.

Today (8th March) was my birthday - so got some lovelly crafty stuff, 2 paper trimmers, a safe one and one that my dad has warned me to only use whilst under adult supervision. Some lovelly new sizzix stuff including a 3d snowflake for pop up christmas cards and books on scrapbooking and cake decorating. Also got some tops and a pair of gardening clogs to replace the ones that the dog ate.
