Our Christmas

The reds, oranges and greens all lined up

Our Christmas lunch. The best thing about having an Australian Christmas is that's its summer and hot, so cold salads it is. You will find our plates piled high with more fruit than veges as we have sweet tooths.
Caitlin just happened to put the food out and it was colour coded by pure chance.
Unfortunately of all days the digital camera went flat and we couldn't find the charger so out came the old faithful film SLR so I will post more photos of our table decoration later.

I hope your christmas was a safe and happy one.

Xmas cards using Forever Friends Bear Stamps

 

The inside of my card

 

How I stamp the back of my cards. It was part of a slightly larger image but it had Forever Friends as part of it. I cut it down to suit my needs.

 

 

The same card in red. The embossed part of the card was spritzed with home-made shimmer, I made using Stampin Up Frost White shimmer paint.

Xmas Gift Ideas

 

 

After recieving some cello bags in the mail, I just couldn't resist using them as xmas gifts for the kids in the family. 

Busy Busy Busy

This last week has been unbelievable. We are trying to auction off a business and my dad is in hospital with a knee replacement. So its drive to the hospital, work 10 hrs a day, pick kids up from school, housework etc with no time to craft at all.

An Intro

I recently decided to start a blog to join challenges and stay in touch with family in different states.
As with most families I am time poor so this blog is craft and family life orientated.
