Hi there Yesterday my brother turned 50!! – I can’t believe he’s that old. He is the best brother and I love him dearly even though he was a real tease when I was little. Last night we celebrated his birthday with a lovely roast dinner at their house followed by watching a nerve racking… Read More »
Hi there I’ve had an ‘indoors’ weekend this weekend as I have got my first winter head cold! It has however meant I’ve had time to clean my craft space in anticipation of the new catalogue arriving. Not too many more weeks. This afternoon I managed some craft time as I needed to make a… Read More »
Hi there I hope you all had a great long weekend – we were busy finishing off our rental before the tenants move in next weekend. We managed to get the timber railing done on the deck and now we’re all set :). It’s not long to go until we have our new catalogue –… Read More »
Hi there Well today is “double birthday” in our house – both Phil and I share the same birthday – how cool is that! We’ve had a lovely day and are going to be catching up with my family tonight for supper. We have this rule that Phil is not allowed to buy me a… Read More »
Hi there I’m out babysitting tonight and thought I’d try and get a blog post in – much to the disgust of Bella the cat. If I’m on the computer it means she can’t get a tickle! Never mind on with the post. Here is a card and gift I made last month for a… Read More »
Hi there I know – two posts in a row! The last 5 weeks or so have been rather hectic in our house to say the least BUT hopefully things are going to get back to normal soon. Our rental is almost ready to let and we have finally got a date for Phil’s operation… Read More »
Hi there Last month our friends youngest son turned 3. He loves guitars (along with lawn mowers – last year’s card) so I thought I’d make him a card with a guitar on it. I’d seen this card ages ago on Rachel Capps blog and had kept the instructions. It was really easy to make and… Read More »
Hi there I’ve finally managed some time in front of the computer to do this blog – which should have been posted two weeks ago but with all that’s happening in my little space it just hasn’t happened. Dad celebrated his 81st birthday on Easter Sunday and this is the little gift we gave him… Read More »
Hi there I have finally succumbed to making a ‘card in a box’. I think I may have to make some more of these. You may have seen these in ‘blog land’ – there are some amazing creations using this style of card. My card class ladies requested a card for a ‘big’ birthday as… Read More »
Hi there What a beautiful day we’ve had here in Auckland. Phil and I have just got back from a lovely 45 minute walk in the park. It’s so nice to be able to get outdoors as I’m sure the ‘not so nice’ weather is not that far off! Yesterday was my friend Debs birthday.… Read More »
Hi there What a beautiful day we’ve had here in Auckland – we’ve been for two walks which was so nice as they had predicted it would be wet today. Yesterday was our neighbours birthday so I ran up this quick card for him. After teaching this style of card at Stamp Camp last month… Read More »
Hi there Today is my Mum’s birthday – she’s the BEST mum (and friend) in the world. The other week Mum (and Dad) helped me prep the kits for the Tauranga Extravaganza so I thought I’d make Mum a card in the same design. I’ve used some of my favourtie colours and products for this… Read More »
Hi there Last Friday one of my work colleagues had her birthday and this is the little gift I gave her. I’m in love with the new Scallop Tag Topper Punch. I wasn’t going to buy it to begin with but then I started seeing all these amazing things you could do with it –… Read More »
Hi there Well we’ve certainly had all seasons in a day here in Auckland. This morning on my way to work it showed that is was 4 degreesC which is really cold for this time of year. Then we had a huge downpour and then by this afternoon the sun had come out and it… Read More »
Hi there Last weekend was our team stamp camp in Rotorua. We had such a cool time together – pity it was only for a weekend. I was one of the presenters and was first up on Friday night – eek – but it went really well. I think they all enjoyed my presentation and… Read More »
