Hi there It’s a long weekend here in Auckland – it’s our city (region) anniversary day – and that means an extra day off work. I love these short weeks but you always end up cramming 5 days work into 4. At OnStage in November all attendees were given the lovely stamp set Incredible Like You. … Read More »
Hi there Last week our friends eldest son turned the ripe old age of 13. I must admit I struggle with masculine cards at the best of times – but what do you create for a 13 year old? Thankfully Seb is really into his music – he’s got amazing talent and has been playing… Read More »

Hi there Well it’s definitely been an indoors day today – great for crafting. I’ve been busy prepping a little ‘RAK’ project for my work colleagues.
