HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Happy Halloween to those who celebrate! I’ve barely had time to breathe recently and am running around like a headless chicken preparing for Convention next Thursday, dealing with family crisis (sick relly – Australian speak for relative) hence the lack of blog posts. All the Halloween stamps are from my personal collection – very quickly […]

Growing Green

I had a wonderful club meeting last night with some wonderful ladies. We experimented with Stampin’ Up!’s new scallop trim and scallop corner punch and used the water colour paper, the crimper, the new basic pearls which are such good value.

More handmade birthday cards

I didn’t get a chance to upload these the other day and didn’t want to leave them out – this one is from the lovely Vannessa with 2 Ns! This is from the new slimline Chris, who gave me a humoungous box of Thorntons chocs! I won’t be able to squeeze into my Convention outfit […]

BEAUTIFUL CARDS FROM BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!

One of the special bulbs on my photography lamp has blown so I can’t guarantee the quality of these photos. Today, I finally get to open my birthday cards! They’ve been arriving all week, and I’ve resisted the temptation to open them until this morning. DH offered me breakfast in bed to start the day, […]
