BACK TO REALITY!!

Well it's a Good morning from me.

So glad to be home but loved and enjoyed my time away with my Brother and his 

lovely girlfriend and i cannot forget my niece and nephew.

The weather was lovely the whole time i was there, think i packed too much clothing thinking it may have been cold some days, but nooooo.... so needed some more summer clothing, all the more reason to shop i guess  :)

Loved the shopping and Walmart became my friendly place to shop, among a few other shops including the craft shops such as Michaels and Joannes. I couldn't believe the prices of wooden stamps and how much we would be paying here in NZ. So i got myself a couple of Christmas themed ones and some others. The one thing i was pleased i got was MARTHA STEWARTS scoring board, I payed $20 US and here the sell for $50-$55 i think i got myself a bargain there.

So now i am home and settling back into my old routine, i have a few things i need to get busy on, our local Baptist Church is having a art and craft market day & my girlfriend asked if i would e interested in selling some T-LIGHT candle Cards.... I had done a demo one Tues  at our ladies TIME OUT morning and they seemed to love the idea of a card with wee gift of some T-LIGHT candles especially if the smell nice when lit.

So i now need  to get busy and  make a few up as time is getting nearer.

Enjoy your day.

Reno here i come!!!

Hi Friends,

I'm so darn excited... like a kid in a lolly shop.

2 days to go, so tthought I'd sneak in a quick post before leaving on my 2 week holiday to celebrate my brothers 40th.

Been a bit busy buying stuff for his kids and himself, i must remember myself, make sure i have some money left over...lol

Kids are excited, our eldest thinks she's having a going away party at the airport, she even brought shome party poppers.. cheeky cow  :) All good though, I bet she'll break down 1st????

Hubby's at home with our girls for a week and our son spending time helping out his Nana up north.

I have made a couple of cards before leaving, has been my save n grace as not to stress out about my trip and make sure I've done & got all the right things, paid the bills in advance etc....

So here are a couple of pics for you to enjoy.

Enjoyed doing this one, love making the flowers using my one and only Stampin Up punch (THE LARGE ONE)

The leaves i got from our local craft shop and i love them, they're just the right size and texture. Thanks ABSOLUTELY CRAFTY.

I coloured the image with water pencils, I'm still perfecting my coloring in and blending but of course one needs the right paper as well. I soo want some copics or other pens.

My next card i just loved!. It's an Easel card & it turned out just how i envisioned it to turn out like.

The boy with the barrow was cut out from a 30x30 scrap booking sheet. As soon as i saw it, i knew what to do with it & let me tell you, that does not happen very often at all!

 The only down side was my sentiment and glossing my flower, however i love it all the same and we learn from our wee mistakes don't we?

So that's my post for this month, I celebrated my birthday on the 1st and it was a quiet one so hope my Brother and i will party up large at his  :)

Have a great day all, enjoy your day what ever your doing.
