Hi there I hope you’ve had a good weekend – ours has been rather social. On Friday night we (along with half of Onehunga) enjoyed the annual ‘lighting of the Christmas Tree’ in Jellicoe Park. It was great to see so many families enjoying their picnic dinners and enjoying the entertainment. At 9pm the lights… Read More »

Hi there Here’s a card I made ages ago using three new products from the Holiday Catalogue – the Delicate Ornaments Thinlits, Versatile Christmas stamp set and the Curvy Corner Trio Punch.

Hi there Last night Phil and I walked round to our local Ice Cream haunt – Ollies at Royal Oak. They have a huge selection of favours. A new one on the list is Lemon Cheesecake – it was SO yum. I think there may be more evening walks in that direction! These cards were… Read More »
Hi there This ‘lady of leisure’ has been slack again in the blogging department but I’ll think you’ll like todays post. Our neighbours son turned 3 last month and had a ‘Gruffalo’ themed birthday party. For those of you who don’t have young children and have never read a Gruffalo story book you need to… Read More »
Hi there It feels like summer has finally arrived – the weather has been so nice lately I haven’t wanted to be sitting in front of the computer hence the late blogging of my visit to the new Stampin’ Up! office last week. I had a lovely time with Emma and did remember to take… Read More »
