AMBER AMONGST THE ALOES
{Saturday, 6 June 2009}
Another update on the progress of the aloe flowers. The first two photos below just shows how quickly the aloe flowers are growing just within a few days.
Nature never ceases to amaze. Its hard to believe that the beautiful orange and yellow aloe flowers below evolved from these funny looking spiky balls.
Notice the busy bee collecting pollen in the above photo.
Above: Even Amber Thomson (2 years, 9 months) are amazed at these aloe flowers and couldn't resist touching them. Fortunately, Mrs Bee was not visiting at the time.
Below is a layout I did of Amber a year and a half ago. Can't believe how much she has grown since then, becoming a cute hugable little girl with very much her own unique bubbly personality.
I leave you all now, on my way to Durban early tomorrow morning. Me and Michelle will be setting up for Saturday's Makaranga Scrapaganza most of Friday, so yours truly will be out of action till next Tuesday. But I will be popping into all your yummy blogs to see what you have all been up to. Thanks again for all your inspiring comments.

  3. Hi Desire

    It seems that it is time for another Amber layout - it's great when you have such a cutie to work with - half your scrapping battle already won ...

    Good luck for Makaranga - sorry I can't be there - maybe next time ...

    Love, Tracy
