« Previous Entriessoccer mad (no not me!)
Friday, April 27th, 2007The boys of the house are all soccer mad. Being from scottish heritage, dh has always been mad for the round ball, however, the madness only got worse last year with the world cup – of course we just HAD TO buy a digital set top box with a mega huge hard drive so we could [...]
the best gift is home made
Thursday, April 26th, 2007Stamping has made me stop spending money on expensive cards and wrappings and allowed me to create beautiful gifts which are personalised and always appreciated. I always have a stash of candles, gift bags and wrapping paper ready to stamp for that birthday which always pops up. A friend of mine asked me to make something in hot [...]
folding cards
Thursday, April 26th, 2007I just love these cards – they can be used for invitations, cards, birth notices, etc. I found these really easy to make and although you are limited by the width of the card (usually 30cm) they can be as tall as you like, although around 10-12cm height works the best I found! There are a [...]
we are expecting!
Tuesday, April 24th, 2007Yes, another family member (of the four legged variety), arrives today, another little girl to balance the males hormones in the home. Have you EVER seen a more beautiful, soulful look in your life.
Ok, she has now been named ‘Daisy’ by the Lachlan due to the fact she is yellow and white like a daisy (of [...]
slice of heaven
Monday, April 23rd, 2007My two boys go to a catholic school and so are always coming out with comments about what they have learnt about God and church etc. We were away in tassie driving, when my 8 year old son looked up at the sky and said ‘look mum, its heaven up there’ and when I looked, [...]
In full bloom
Sunday, April 22nd, 2007I have found time to do a bit of stamping and creating – I find it so enjoyable and relaxing. I was so excited when the Australian papercraft mag emailed me on thursday to let me know I have ANOTHER acceptance- this time it is for some gift bags and noodle boxes I stamped using [...]
The other side of the rainbow
Sunday, April 22nd, 2007There are always 2 sides to a rainbow and similarly, it is the same for times of tragedy and sadness. Our recent family loss has resulted in a beautiful weekend spent with family. My gorgoeus niece and nephew and sister in law and brother in law came down from sydney and we all; great grandparents, [...]
our clan
Friday, April 20th, 2007With the technological world we live in now, it seems we can be anywhere in the world in a few clicks of the keyboard, it seems everything is just within our reach, information, people, anything. So when something happens to someone you love and you are on the other side of the world, you realise [...]
scrap drought over!
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007Well, I finally did it -after 8 months, I actually put photo to paper and finished a page! I had always scrapped only with CM stock – mainly because I had an abundance of it at home, but basically, I love the stuff. I found I couldn’t do those beautiful artistic layouts that involve lots of embelishment [...]
wild rose
Monday, April 16th, 2007Can I just say how much I love the newly released wild rose stamp set by stampin’ up!? (thanks gabbie for leaving it behind with me!) I think it is just stunning and have found it very versatile. I used it to make the wedding card in my earlier post and here are some more [...]
