Helen's family news and scrapping blog

It's been a nice quiet week with typical spring weather - a day of brilliant sunshine followed by a day of pouring rain! Great for the garden! This is the last week of school before the two week September break so I am in the midst of planning activities for the children and loads of photo ops for me one hopes. Like the shot below - I took this for Maria's "pattern" challenge over at our photo forum!
