MERRY CHRISTMAS AND THANK YOU


I've spent this wet and windy morning making Christmas cards (I know, I know, but better late than never!)All of the cards above were made from the 5002 Card Making Kit - Merry Christmas. With the addition of a stamp, circle punch and some spare card stock I made 28 cards with plenty of scraps to make several more. Excellent value packs and a good variety to choose from for all occasions.

Thank you to all my customers and blog followers for another wonderful year. I hope that you and your family enjoy a wonderful Christmas and New Year that is filled with Love, Hope, Peace, Good Health, Joy and Happiness. Stay safe, don't drink and drive. Hug your kids and tell everyone that you love them.

I'll post again in the New Year with workshops for February 2011 - as I'm already booked out for January.

Christmas Cheers!

I'm Still Here!


I spent Sunday getting over a nasty head cold by creating this set of cards which were created by the talented Annette Hannigan and featured in the current Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft Magazine (Vol 16 No 6). All the products used were Kaszazz products.



This is one I created using the left overs from the first set. Such a nice way to spend a Sunday. Specially as I didn't have to think up the workshop!

I have a few in the pipeline which I will post up once complete. Keep a look out - I promise to have a few card workshops up and running very soon.

DON'T FORGET THAT IF YOU BOOK A FREE MAKE & TAKE OR WORKSHOP DURING SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER 2010 YOU WILL RECEIVE A $50 SURPRISE PACK OF CURRENT RANGE PRODUCTS! (First 12 to book only).

Look who I met in London!



Okay, so it was at Madame Tussauds but who cares! It's probably the closest I'll ever get to Johnny Depp. I also met Brad Pitt, although Ange was with him and Robbie Williams. Lillee was thrilled and a little embrassed to 'meet' Zac Efron and Steve revealed a secret thing for Kylie Minogue (who knew?! lol). We did lots on our last full day in London and as you can see from the photo below it snowed!



We were very fortunate that all the bad weather happened before and after our trip. I can assure you Perth does not get cold in winter and I won't ever live in Europe due to how cold it gets. The only thing that kept me going besides my thermal long johns was the thought that at the end of the trip I would be coming home to a blissfully hot summer - I'm a Sandgroper through and through!

Next post workshop updates!

Tonight we dine in Paris

So we travelled by train from Belifeld, Germany to Paris. It seemed that every time we travelled it rained and the days that we spent sight seeing were fine. We arrived in Paris on the 27th December in the late afternoon, found our hotel and headed out for a look around and dinner. The 28th December was spent on an open topped tour bus making our way around this beautiful city. Although, I must admit we didn't spend much time 'up top' as it must have only gotten to a maximum of 3 degrees the whole day.


The photo above is of the Ponte Neuf which means the 9th bridge, famous for being so very old!





The main highlight of the tour was reaching the Eiffel Tower, JP had been so very excited to see this icon of Paris, although he did get a little upset when he saw the size of the queue.....2 hours we waited in line just to buy the tickets to go up! His diappointment was mainly due to the fact that we wouldn't be stopping at the restauant up the tower for lunch. It was immensely cold with the only relief being the toilets which were heated. Another eye opener for the kids was the number of Africans selling knock off Effiel Tower keyrings. Every time a police man came within cooee of the queues there was a mad dash (even to the point of knocking tourists to the ground) to get away. Explaining to the kids that these people were probably illegally in France and therefore not wanting to stick around. The other eye opener was the very large machine guns that the police were carrying.

As you can see from the photos from the viewing deck we had fantastic weather for sight seeing.

We walked back through this part of Paris to the Champs Eleyese and the Arch de Triumph were we had dinner at Chez Clement, the front part of which is all glass and right on the footpath of the Champs Eleyese. A magic dusk, the photos of which don't do it justice. You really had to be there. As the sun went down (around 5pm!)
the lights that were strung up the trees lining the street came on. There were even some lights in the trees that looked like icicles! Just Magic!



Jarrod ordered snails as frog legs weren't on the menu. As all of us tried the snails we can't blame them for Jarrod throwing up that night! I think it was a combination of fairy floss, snails in a rich butter/garlic sauce and the beautiful creme bulee that was consumed. Poor Steve had to deal with the clean up as I made a quick exit stage left to fetch new bedding, I even sat outside the hotel room until all had been cleaned and de-smelled! Ugh!

And that's what I did

Well, my grand plans to do all 12 Tags came undone. December just got busier and busier. What with making Christmas cards, running a couple of last minute Kaszazz workshops and organising everything for out trip to Europe.

We flew out on Tuesday 22nd December and headed for Singapore...

As you can see the kids loved Singapore airport and managed to find the world's biggest Chuppa Chumps. After our 2 hour stop over and lots of walking through the airport stretching our legs, we boarded the plane and spent the next 12hrs mowing through umpteen movies, tv shows. The kids got about 8-9hrs sleep each and us adults managed about 6. Not bad really. We landed in Frankfurt then made our way north to my Aunt's house in Bielefeld.


As you can see, snow had fallen before we got there. The kids were able to make a snow man and we had the obligitory snow ball fight. We had a drizzly Christmas Day which turned all the snow into ice! Boxing day was spent at a local animal park where we met some interesting animals (see the hairy, horny cow)

and supped on some gluwein (hot spiced wine - yummm). We also wrapped up nice and warm, however as you can see from the picture above, Jarrod absolutely froze at the Night Markets - can't blame him as it was -1.5c!


Next post - Paris!
