Hi there We had a ‘fun’ morning here in Auckland – a storm passed through with amazing thunder, lightning and rain. I was glad I’d already reached the office before the heavens opened. And what a transformation by the evening – sunny and warm. Now that’s Auckland weather for you. Today’s post is a project… Read More »

Hi there I’m back with the second project we made at our team training last month. I don’t do Halloween but I’ve learnt from past Holiday Catalogues not to skip over the Halloween section as there are products in this section that can be used for non Halloween projects. Did you see the Black Foil… Read More »
Hi there Today is Mother’s Day in New Zealand – a day when we honour our Mother’s (and all women) for the amazing contribution they make to our lives. I am very fortunate that my Mum only lives a few minutes away and we get to see and talk to each other all the time. … Read More »

Hi there I’m not sure about you but I always struggle with feeling more tired in the first week when coming off daylight saving – even though it’s only one hour different. Hopefully the body clock gets back to normal :). As part of my presentation at Stamp Camp I created some 3D projects. I… Read More »
