Hi there I hope you’ve all had a good weekend. The weather yesterday didn’t start out that great – cold and wet but today has been like summer and 22 degrees :). Back in February my friend celebrated her 60th birthday – I’m sure she’s pulling our leg as she doesn’t look 60. We had… Read More »
Hi there It’s funny – if you hold on to things long enough they will come back into fashion. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back! Over the weekend I helped my neighbour make TMNT birthday invites for Mr 5 – he’s really into them. Then I needed to make a card for a friends four… Read More »
Hi there My almost 19 year old niece left today for her OE to Europe and the UK :(. She and a friend from school are heading to London first to begin their OE and see the other side of the world. We will miss her heaps but with Skype, Facebook and email she won’t… Read More »
Hi there It’s a while since I’ve been to a 21st birthday party – but last night we attended one for our friends twin sons. They had a theme of American Gangster so Phil and I hired costumes – what do you think? Love Phil’s shoes. Now we all know how hard it is to… Read More »

Hi there My card class ladies had two special requests for card designs this month – an Easter card and a wedding card. I don’t have any ‘Easter’ stamps so I went with the flower image from my newly purchased Butterfly Basics set and teamed it up with the words from Crazy about You. This… Read More »
Hi there I got a bit busy last week preparing for our Creative Inkers Extravaganza. I left a few too many things to do in the last week which meant no blogging time! Before I can show you the project I taught I need to do a catch up on what I’ve taught at my… Read More »
Hi there I hope you’ve all had a great weekend – I’m sure the Black Caps have 🙂 It was my Mum’s birthday on Friday and today we had a family lunch to celebrate her special day.

Hi there Wow – two posts in two days 🙂 One of our Aussie demo’s has been fundraising to get a new (to them) car as her daughter is in a wheelchair and they needed to upgrade their current vehicle. She and a group of other demo’s have put together 31 tutorials – one per… Read More »
Hi there Yes – I am still alive – life has been rather full on the last couple of weeks with workshops, card classes and relocating our office to a new building. I have managed to squeeze in some crafting time for myself but just haven’t got round to blogging my creations. So here are… Read More »
