Something new is coming…

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve done much with this page!
Some of you have been here right back from my scrapbooking shop days — the classes, the mountains of paper, ribbons and embellishments and, of course, buying craft supplies that we definitely needed!
Even though the shop disappeared a long time ago, for me the crafting certainly didn't.
I've just moved on to about a million other things!
Over the years I've scrapbooked, sewn, painted, made Christmas decorations, created resources for work, played around with furniture makeovers, collected far too many op-shop and inherited treasures and tackled all sorts of random DIY projects.
Basically, if I see something and think “I could make something out of that…”, and it's free, there's a pretty good chance it's coming home with me.
Lately I've been getting that itch to do something creative again, something a little different and a bit more me.
So I've been quietly making, collecting and playing around with ideas behind the scenes… and I've decided it's finally time to do something with them.
Rather than starting a completely new page, I thought I'd bring this one along for the ride.
After all, this is where a big part of my creative journey started.
I have absolutely no idea where this little adventure might lead, but I'm pretty excited to find out.
I'll share more soon, watch this space…

My Achievements!!
Here is what I have completed over the last two days ...

Two cards ... A Thankyou and a Baby Shower card and an Exploding Box, I have made the pages months up to 12mths plus some extra things like First Tooth, Lock of Hair etc, I'm quite stoked with how it turned out! I'm hoping that these couple of projects have given me enough inspiration to get out of my Scrappers Block, we shall see tomorrow when I attemp some more!!!

My poor baby girl :(
Today we were cleaning out the garage and the kids were wandering around "helping" our driveway is short but steep, and Abbey managed to get out of the garage and tumbled down the drive! I saw it happen in slow motion and there was blood and I cried! She is fine, a little grazed but none worse for wear. But here are the pics of my poor precious with her banged up face

My Scout Group is hosting a Pink Ribbon Breakfast this weekend, I made something as a raffle, it's been quite some time since I've done cross-stitch! I forgot how much I enjoyed it and how relaxing it was!

Halloween is Keeping me busy!!!
I spent half the night and all morning making these goody packages to take home after the party! VERY cute I scraplifted the idea of Debby from Fiskateers!! Thanks Debby! Nic had sent me the instuctions to make these little caddies ages ago and I've wanted to make them for a while! Glad I finally got round to doing them because they were WAY easier than I ever expected! I might have to make a couple of full sized ones for my pencils etc as these ones are quarter the original size!! Now I just need to fill them with sweet goodness and they will be all ready!!

I LOVE HALLOWEEN!

5th October 2008

October means HALLOWEEN!
I LOVE Halloween, it has ALWAYS been a favourite of mine, I have somewhat an obsession of the paranormal and creepy. I LOVE shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer (my all time fav) Supernatural, X-Files etc etc and all the movies like Underworld, Van Helsing, Hell Boy, Dracula, Blade stc etc. Vampires are my favourite, I read and watch anything Vampire related, just a little weird thing that not so many people know about me lol! Anyway! Halloween has always been a favourite of mine even though it isn't hugely celebrated in NZ. My friends and I have had Halloween Parties for years. And since marrying Jase (who is American) we have an Annual Halloween Party for our kids to celebrate their American culture as such. Each year the parties are getting better! And our friends all hugely anticipate the Palmer Haloween Party!! It's great and I LOVE it!! Anyway ....

I made some invites for the party today, all the details of the party are on the back of the tags. I'm really pleased with them! Now I'm off to get some more Halloween crafts done, only a couple more weeks to get ready!!!!
