The word today is Chew

Chew: To bite and grind with the teeth.

LOL I have no idea if snails have teeth, but they are doing a great job of chewing my Clivia which are just beginning to bud!

Hi folks from Di in Cape Town. Well at last a bit of crafting! Made a card yesterday for my friend Linda, and managed to get some sewing done. Linda's birthday is today and she is a VERY gorgeous 61 year old!!! Here is a little peak at her very simple card.

The ribbon that you see lying on the counter is tied and used to close the card. The card has a sort of 3D feel to it!

A little update on my camera. Mmmmm, I am such a dope! I just had to press the 'disp' button and all the stuff re-appeared including the AF frame!!! Blush!!!

And woo hoo, it's a new month tomorrow so my internet quota starts again! I will then be able to visit the blogs I have missed over the past few days. Have a great weekend folks.

Thanks again for visiting and love from Di XXX

What a lovely card - I'm sure Linda will be thrilled with it. Your 'chew' photo is excellent - snails can be a real problem, can't they?

I love the angle you have taken this shot from. :)

Snales do eat so I think that counts. Great idea!

Argh! Snails!! Curse them! I planted 20 sunflowers and the next morning there were only 5 left, and the day after that, none at all!!! Good luck to your Clivia - great photo of it! I love your card too, and glad to hear your camera's OK again! ;o)

Ugh, I so know what you mean about snails...and slugs in our garden...little buggers! Great take on the challenge...one of those "oh wish I'd thought of that" moments ;o)

It's the squirrels that have ravaged our plants this summer. I didn't think to take a picture of our poor jade plant. Great idea and beautiful card.
