A fortnight ago we had our first Market stall for the year. The markets we attend are the Western Sydney Community Indoor Markets held at the St. Mary’s Memorial Hall on the corner of Mamre Road & Great Western Highway. The market is held on the 3rd Sunday of every […]

At some of our market stalls last month I was finding people were looking for teacher’s gifts. I had a few suitable things but most of those sold at the first 2 so I thought adding some Chocolate Sliders to the mix might be good too. However at our last […]
September was the start of a new catalogue which also meant we’d update our questionnaires with new items on our Wish Lists, our new favourite DSP’s and stamp sets and any other changes. Juliette updated her wish list but didn’t update her dsp and stamp sets so I had to […]
Well this is my last post for Secret Santa and I’ll be sharing what I made and bought to give to Marelle. First up is the initial presentation. The Gift Bag. I’ve decorated a standard white paper bag using some Cherry Cobbler Cardstock and Jolly Holiday DSP on both sides […]
My original intention was to make Lauren some of those gorgeous Paper Shoes that I was reminded about recently. When I asked her if that was okay she went…”Hmmmmm…..”. “Okay then, what would you like me to do?” Not sure that was a smart idea now. “Can you make these […]
I’ve seen a few of these baskets around lately and lots of Punch Bunny’s and thought it about time I tried it out myself. I used the instructions for the basket from Whiff of Joy’s blog which you can find here. I varied them slightly and converted them into Australian […]
I’ve only just realised that I never got around to sharing the items I made for my Stampin’ Up in Oz Secret Sister for December – February. As this swap started in December our main gift was sent then. My Secret Sister had told me (via her questionnaire) that her […]
Jodene Tripp has been inspiring us all over on Stampin’ Up in Oz with her wonderful creations using Lauren Meader’s Timeless Templates. I already had a few of Lauren’s templates but upon visiting her site I purchased a few more. In amongst those I purchased was one call ‘Pack A […]
Yes that is Chocolate M & M’s I’m talking about. My youngest daughter needed a birthday card for a party she was attending last Saturday so I decided it was about time I used my Sweet Somethings stamp set and the Sweet Treat Cups. Being that this is the first […]
I wasn’t as organised for December as I hoped I would be some my first item I sent to Sonia was actually her gift. It was only sent off the week before Christmas so I was praying it would arrive in time. I had also included some gifts for her […]
So it’s another month and time for a new stamp set. This month I’ve used the Circle Circus stamp set and Bella Bleu DSP. First off is the Fantasy/Stepper Box. Inside as you can see I’ve packed some little goodies for Sonia to play with. There’s a sample of Flower […]
As I mentioned yesterday I kept with the same theme for this next card and gift which were my final items for October. Not only was I enjoying making the Tri-Fold cards at the time but I was enjoying creating the Scallop Edge Medallions too. So this card incorporates the […]
Now I know it’s a busy time of year but I certainly didn’t think it was 10 days since my last post. I would have thought as my girls got older I’d be less busy at this time of year but no such luck. I’ve ended up with more school […]
Three of my girls are still in Primary School and each year we like to give a gift to their teacher/s. Normally it’s just a box of chocolates or some pretty smelling soaps for the ladies but this year I decided to make them something. So this is what I […]
I’m a bit behind with posting so I’m going to share the last few items I (and my girls) received from my Secret Sister (and their Secret Auntie). First off is my 2nd Card for October. My secret sister has used Cheep Talk & Oval All stamp sets on this […]
This is the last October family birthday I have to share with you. As I mentioned yesterday this time it is for my step-mother. On Saturday 3rd October I held my World Card Making Day event. You may recall those that attended made a Chocolate Holder and a matching little […]
