stem silhouettes
Thursday, January 31st, 2008When I first saw the summer mini, this was the stamp set I just HAD TO HAVE or else my life would just not feel complete. Well, the past couple of months, I have looked at it and picked it up and even stamped some images, but I knew what I wanted my creations to [...]
A dora party!
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008Well the first birthday party of the year is done, but I am still recovering! It doesn’t seem like 2 years ago that I was giving birth to this independant little girl who now shouts at me ‘I do it!!’ or ‘go away’ when I try to help her with anything *sigh* where did my baby [...]
love really matters
Friday, January 25th, 2008Last night we had the launch of my first stamp club and it was great fun. There are 10 of us and all the ladies are sooo nice!

welcome home..
Thursday, January 24th, 2008Everyone who has ever moved home knows how stressful it is – especially with young children! So I thought I would send the talented Madonna (stampin’ up! demo – not singer) a card to help brighten her day as her recent move has been a bit stressful for her. I have used the ‘all in [...]

Well ok, it wasn’t exactly me on the cover, it was my creation, but still, it was my hands that [...]
cards for the kids
Friday, January 18th, 2008It has been very strange having the house to myself – the boys are still at the beach and little miss has been at my mum’s so I can go to work- just me and the dogs left at home. I can’t remember the last time I slept on my own at night – really [...]

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008You go away for a couple of weeks and people everywhere decide to pop out their babies -what is with that?!? I have had 4 babies born to friends and family in the past 3 weeks and today I went and visited little Zac and he was so cute and soft and little and I [...]
I’ve been tagged!
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008The lovely Kerri http://sovereignstampers.com/ has asked me to share 7 things with you that you may or may not know, so here goes! (oh, and these are in no way stamping related and I can’t see how they would interest anybody, but I had fun putting the list together!)
1 – I was born on the Solomon [...]
finally I have returned!
Monday, January 14th, 2008The lead up to christmas is such a hectic crazy time, that by the time christmas arrives we are rushed and exhausted, well at least I am. But on christmas eve, we packed up the 3 kids, took both the cars (in expectation of the gifts we would have to bring back with us that Santa would undoubtedly deliver to our little shack [...]
