« Previous Entriesthe winter blues
Saturday, June 30th, 2007It seems like only a few weeks ago that green grass was a sight unseen, that our washing could hang for days on end and not be bothered by a single drop of rain. Well, the rain has definitely come and with it, cold wintery weather. A lot of mums are like me, are feeling [...]

a winter wedding
Thursday, June 28th, 2007My son’s prep teacher is very very brave- not only has she decided to have a winter wedding over the school holidays, she is getting married in the Dandenong mountains in a strapless dress. Her bridesmaids are in red and she has bought a thick red blanket to wrap around herself for the photo shoot – [...]
July news!
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007Can you believe we are starting a new financial year already?? Very very scary – when I was a child, it seemed the school year went on forever and then some, however even ds8 is asking why does time go so fast! We are just working a a different pace than what we did when we [...]

My PC is on all the time, sometimes all night as well if we are downloading, and it makes it too easy to walk [...]

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007I was soooo excited when I was asked by the stamping queen herself to be part of her design team. I figured that since she was a queen, that sort of made me a royal as well! She really does have a beautiful collection of unique stamps. THis is a card I made for her [...]
peaceful wishes
Tuesday, June 19th, 2007One of my latest aquisitions is this beautiful stampin’ up! set called ‘peaceful wishes’. It is one of the stamps we will be using at my christmas in july stamp-a-stack, but it also makes the most beautiful general cards. Once again, I thought I would try a masculine look, and banned the use of flowers and [...]
