Scatterday Week 21

Ah, Scatterday, letter E Scatterday to be precise. Now, I'm a few hours early but I'm going on holiday tomorrow morning for a week (down to Albany to read/photograph/sew/sip wine/wander/walk on the beach/relax with Steve and the kids) and wont have time to do my post in the morning.

I have been inspired by one of the newer Scatterday's participants - Dawn in Auckland. Dawn has been posting fantastic layouts on her blog, sort of like scrapbooking but without using scissors or glue! :-) It looks terrific and I thought I'd have a bit of a play too. I had downloaded a heap of free vector brushes for Photoshop a month or so ago, and hadn't had a good play with them, so this was the opportunity.... all the background doodads...the eyes and the e's and the tendrils are vector brush stuff.

So, Scatterday, garden oriented this week for me.....
For the Category of White, I used an ENGLISH DAISY - a ground cover in our garden with tiny little white petalled flowers.

Next is Terrifying Things, and for that I chose ENCLOSED SPACES. Ooooer, any place very small that makes me feel trapped is a terrifying thing indeed. Me no likey

And finally, The Plant World. My choice is a small plant called EUPHORBIA MILLII. It's in a pot under the pergola, has mean spiky stems and bracts of these bright waxy looking flowers pretty much all year round. Mum and I bought our plants at the same time and we've been having a little competition to see whose plant grows best. I think mine's winning :-) Well, I must say that Mum's plant is having a little growth spurt lately and seems to be catching up, but I've discovered that this plant thrives on neglect - a variety of gardening I am very good at :-)

Now Scatterdaisies, next week. It's a bit of a doozy. I have blessed us with the letter U, and Michelle has kindly given us the Categories of Street, Cartoon Characters (flippin heck!) and Things People Pay A Lot Of Money For. Get those thinking caps on!
