Advent Calendar

December already!  I haven’t been in my craft room all week, but managed to make this just in time for December 1st.  This set is from my personal collection which I had on my birthday wish list, so imagine how pleased I was to receive it!   I’ve been itching to make something with it.  I used the […]

Countdown to Christmas #2 Class

No, you haven’t come to the wrong blog! I’ve changed my blog background to get into the spirit of Christmas – so it’s still l’il ole me! I’m feeling a little sorry for myself as Mum flew back to Australia via Singapore late Sunday just past, so I needed something festive to cheer me up! […]

SUNDAY – DAY 4 IN PARIS POST CONVENTION 2011

Us die hards who wanted to make the most of our last day – our flight was 2120 at night, so we bought an all day ticket for the larger Disneyland park.  Poor Elizabeth had caught a cold, and feeling a little delicate.  We had an early breakfast, bid farewell to Hayley who had an early […]

Convention 2011 Swaps

There’s always a buzz around Convention time.  Sadly I don’t feel as prepared as I ought to be this time round.    I did manage to squeeze in making some swaps, but not as many as in previous years. I started with a box of the new DSP printed brads in the new In Colors and […]
