Susan has arrived safe and sound in Melbourne, she is travelling with loads of paraphernalia too. She is so cute and so tired from all that travelling, she left the northern parts of Queensland last week. I can post a letter to America and it could get there faster than her mail did. Anyway onto other things and I thank the heavens it wasn't yesterday Susan arrived because we had one hell of a storm that caused flooding and damage all around the place. I am thankful that Susan was safely at the postal office. Here we had a freak storm that filled the guttering with ice and all the grounds were covered in white. Horrible weather to be out and about in and we had a broadcast down on the docklands area that missed the storm altogether. My guttering is overflowing, ice was on the ground everywhere and you could pick it up by the handful. It was really bad that it hit the back door and that is under a veranda that is covered. The front area of the house usually does't have much weather hit it but the entrance was over flowing with ice.
I do hope you realize when I am writing this I am in Melbourne Australia and we don't have weather like this, it is rare indeed. Also it is Spring here.
I went and took photos of the grounds and guttering that was chokers full of ice.
Piles of ice everywhere to be seen, I really don't know how people can live in cold snow areas of the world having to deal with ice all the time, it would be horrible.
I really enjoy the warmer climate but yesterday was weird to say the least. I went and scooped up ice in a hurry because the next storm was about to hit.
Anyway onto the fun stuff, my desk has Susan on it but before that it had, Stamps that my bestie and I had been making last Sunday. Yes we have been having some fun, but lets move onto the important stuff and I know a few of you will be wondering if Yoda is happy to have Susan around or if he would be jealous of her.
Well they had a little chat and talked it out and they both decided that sleep was far more important and Yoda let Susan snuggle up with him and have a nap.
I think he likes Susan to be honest here he is thinking about sleeping then here he is hunkering down and then finally they are both asleep.
Wow what a day this is. I am concerned that Yoda might not let Susan go when she needs to hit the town, but that can be sorted later.
Susan has survived the freak storm and is still napping with Yoda.
Oh why am I telling you all this, because Julia said so. Julia over at the Stamping Ground hosts the best blog hop of the week where you show your desk to the world and whom ever wants to join in can.
I was fortunate this last week, to visit everyone on the list, yep sneaked in a visit here and there whilst at work and this list was a short one so that helps.
For all that returned the visit thank you.
Hugs to all and thanks for visiting, please leave a comment I love them.
Eliza, Yoda & Flat Susan.

Flat susan seems to be having a wow of a time. Good to see Yoda was not put out you had a visitor. The weather has been crazy in Sydney as well we have just come out of 3 to 4 weeks of torrential rain. I thought I was never going to get rid of that damp smell.
Have a lovely week and give that kitty a little scratch under the chin from me.

I just had to Google Flat Susan as I'm ashamed to say I didn't know who she was - don't tell her, she may be offended! Brrrrr you have some chilly weather going on over there, we've just started to feel a touch of autumn over here after a gorgeous summer, strange to think of you at the other extreme. Happy WOYWW :o) Annie C #57
Hi Eliza, hi Yoda! I hadn't had a chance to visit you last week but I am here now... a week later and yet another woyww-day. My oh my, you had some rough weather! It is late-Summer in the Netherlands with nice temps and sunny... I can't even think of ice (or it must be ice-cream...) Hope all is well and cleaned up now... happy creating and happy woyww! Marit #53
Wow! Glad you made it through the storm! And glad Flat Susan made it safe and sound. Yoda looks pretty content, such a cutie. Happy WOYWW!

Love the projects on your desk. Gosh, what freak weather! Thanks for sharing your workspace today. Hope you have a great day and a lovely crafting week to come. Hazel, WOYWW #45 x
Blimey, that must have been some storm! Even we don't get hail storms that often in the UK! But for Melbourne, that must be so rare. And it's just as well that your broadcast missed it - the crew wouldn't have been happy.....
Look at Yoda snuggling up with Flat Susan. She needs her beauty sleep after all her mammoth world travelling :-)
Take care,
LLJ 30 xx
Hi - that freaky weather sounds quite scary. Good that you, Yoda and Susan can cuddle together, and play in that lovely craft room. Take care and have a great week, Chris # 34
Goodness, Eliza - not nice weather at all. It has to be fairly cold in the atmosphere to get hail storms like that. Glad for you that it is freak, not regular, weather!
Great that Flat Susan has arrived safe and sound with all her belongings - which seem to have grown since she left home! Hope she sleeps well with Yoda keeping her warm.
Take care. God bless.

It looks like Miss Susan does have lots of fun things to unpack, and how nice that Yoda approves!
And that really is some crazy weather!
Just so you know, my daughter and I were just talking about Yoda last week. Isn't it funny that someone half a world away was talking about your cat???

Goodness gracious me! What awful weather! Poor you!
I was mesmerized reading about flat Susan. I didn't have a clue who she was! Eventually I googled her and sure enough she turns out to be so famous that the first entry on Google was the right one. Lucky you to have such an illustrious visitor.
I don't know how long she's staying but I'm looking forward to reading about her adventures.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment.
Have a great week with Susan and Yoda

Good to see Flat Susan again, and I am pleased she survived the storm. I look forward to reading about her latest adventures.
Happy WOYWW Helen 6
Oh my, Yoda & Susan cuddled together are so cute, lol.
Wow, that's some crazy weather you've got there. We get plenty of snow & ice in the winter here, but hailstorms like that are quite rare.
Thanks for for the blog visit and the comments earlier.
Happy creating and happy woyww,
Sandy #23
Strangely or not had been wondering where Flat Susan was. Glad she is safe and sound with you. I remember Melbourne in August ( when DH,DS and I were visiting) and the weather was stunning - especially to us lot from the UK :-) Hope you don't have any more nasty storms. Happy WOYWW Anne x #32
Brrr! That was some storm - hope that's it now! Love those pics of Yoda and Flat Susan! Have a great week! Chris 49
Oh do love Flat Susan. Glad she is surrounded by some home comforts until she gets used to her new space!! What will you send with her to her new home visit?
We had a squally storm here, but only for a few minutes.Not like you got.Wild, crazy Spring weather.
I had to laugh with Yoda and Flat Susan!yes, I'll bring the banner(s) if I can finish them in time.

ah wonderful post Eliza heard that Susan was heading your way, glad it was safe trip and not an icy one! ugh Melbourne is like that with weird spring storms.. remember that from when I lived there for seven years. Have great time showing Susan around, glad Yoda loves her so.. very cute! Shaz in Oz.x #13
I know LLJ says we don't get hail in the UK often but we've had it here at home (but the same day not at all at DHs office, which is only a couple of miles away) maybe 3 or 4 times in the last year! It's always a shock when it starts hitting things, and more so when it starts hitting ME (last time I was taking out recycling and got nailed on the noggin! Looking forward to seeing what you and Sue do. Her adventures are so much fun to follow. Have fun!
Happy WOYWW!

Never thought of you having weather like that - freaky or what!
Glad to see Yoda stayed nicely curled up whilst it was all going on and how lucky FS is that he is ok with her.
Thanks for the update on Flat Susan and her belongings, which are growing by the sound of it. Think she will have to leave some at home before she moves on to Spain.
Can't wait for her adventures with you to start you have such great things planned,
Thanks for being you
Hugs, to all - Neet 35 xx
Hi Eliza, Yoda is so good, he hasn't tried to eat Susan yet though maybe cats are not so inclined as dogs to chew things up Lol!.
I cannot believe the weather you have had over there it's not something I would have thought of.
Anyway have a good week and I hope you and Susan manage a bit of crafting too. Angela x 44
I'm glad flat Susan arrived safely. Crazy weather in your neck of the woods - I'm glad you were able to stay out of the mess. April #74
Wow bet you wondered what was going on with that ice?! Weird weather everywhere it seems. Hope Susan enjoys her stay. Thanks for visiting me already, am bit slow getting back this week. Take care Zo xx 50
So nice to know Yoda and flat Susan can be such good snuggle buddies! And that's CRAZY about the storm! Ice pelting down out of the sky is always so scary...especially if you live in an area where you're not used to it happening!
Happy (very late) WOYWW!

Thanks for your two lovely comments, Eliza, and I'm glad you like my latest card, and also my ARTHaven, however tidy/untidy it may be lol! I've had a grand tidy up and it's looking a lot better now, and I might just be able to find things now!
I am so thrilled with my new envelope punch board. Does exactly what it says on the tin, unlike the other boards I've tried in the past.
Hope you have a great week, and are able to catch up with yourself a bit!
