What a great weekend

I would thoroughly recommend a weekend away with the girls to create every once in a while! We had a blast completing 12 Christmas cards each as part of a Stampin Up, Stamp A Stack (if you want more details let me know) as well as a few other cards and a gift box or two and a couple of scrapbook layouts!!!!

Here are some of the cards I made - using mostly Stampin Up products.

Busy, busy, busy

I know, missing in action again - but I hope to have something to show next week as I am heading away for a crafting weekend with the girls - and boy do I need it!!

I have just started work after 7 years off with my kids and while it is not full time it still has me leaving the house with two kids at 8am which has never been an easy thing in our household. Oh well we all survived the first week and I am finding that I do quite like the work - still.

So I am hoping to get heaps of cards and christmas cards and atcs made this weekend and I am hoping to get some good nights sleep and a lie in too not to mention great friends and hopefully lovely weather for a walk along the beach.

Better go pack ...

Dragon Cake

Once again - not craft related but certainly tasty. Mr 6 had the Chicken Pocks when it was his birthday, so the sleepover that we had planned had to be cancelled. Finally I got around to organising another sleepover and then had to make a cake too. The boys were very good and didn't wake till 6 am (which is very early for this household!!!!)

Anyway here is the cake - I got the pattern from the internet - where else? Based loosely on the dragon from Jane and the Dragon a popular TV show around here just now.

Kelly tagged me again!

I got tagged again by Kelly - she can't have many friends cos she always tags me - either that or just not many friends with blogs - that must be it :-)

Here’s how it works:

1. Players must list one fact, word, or tidbit that is somehow relevant to their life for each letter of their first or middle name.

2. When you are tagged you need to write your own post containing your first or middle name game facts, word, or tidbit.

3. Don’t forget to leave a comment telling them that they have been tagged, and to read your blog.

4. If I’ve tagged YOU (see below), please join in on the fun!

Don't have my full drivers licence - have only been driving for 6 years.

Only girl in my family.

Never smoked a cigarette in my life - never tried drugs either - no angel though - went through a stage of drinking like a fish - ahhh those were the days!

Nearly lost 10kg in the past 3 months by eating healthily and exercising at the gym.

About to start working again - part time and temporarily as a kindergarten teacher.

And so I tag anyone that has yet to be tagged - consider yourself “tagged”!

Not crafting related at all but I had to share...

I have just got home from completing a 10km walk.

Ok so it doesn't sound so grand but it my first one (unless you count the 12km City to Surf, I ran as a kid with my Dad - I must have been much fitter back then!)

My time was about 90 minutes which I think is pretty good and I can still walk so no major injuries.

I think I would even consider doing it again sometime.......

If you want to see my results - check me out here - scroll down to the 10km walk.

Return of the long lost blogger ...

Man I cannot believe I have been gone so long ..... not that I have been anywhere - just not blogging, or creating much or anything but busy with life, the gym, the odd bit of work and stuff.

Anyway, the reason for my blog is to show off the cards I have made at Stampin Up workshops in the last month. I quite like Stampin Up - I have seen demos of a few cards, layouts, a gift box and then had the chance to play with two cards of my own - now that is one way to sell product!

Anyway enough rambling - here are the cards. If you are interested in any Stampin Up stuff, check out their website or contact me and I'll let you know when I am having a party.

blogging update

Do you know what I like most about blogs - that people keep them up to date and add to them regularly - I especially like the ones who update daily - pity I can't manage that myself huh - oh well.

Nothing to add today though either - not much time to create lately..... Bummer
