Well hello there,

Here today with a quick share – I have been so so busy lately!! I have a feeling it is going to get worse with Christmas not too far away; least I can officially say now that I have started the shopping 🙂

Anyways, back onto why I’m here, A new layout of mine featuring Manor House flowers and The Scrap Cake papers. I thought I’d do a little mixing and matching with the paper ranges (which I do love to do); I’ve used Sweet Childhood and Summer City which is that wonderfully blue turquoise paper… yummy!

Huge hello today,

Super exciting news to share, I’m November’s guest designer for Orange Paperie and Co!!  So happy to be part of the “Co” – such a FAB bunch of ladies.
Ok, so, Kim has set the challenge and this month it is the base of your project… all you need to do is start with this as your base layer.

and here is my layout… I spent a lot of time with the base creating the circles with Gesso and then sewing around them… lots of mist and some water pencils and then built the layout from there.  LOVE this photo of Caitlin, totally unprompted and a heap of fun!

and I also got to share my craft space… it is not this tidy that often so I thought I would also include it here…

Hello again, with the start of the new month it is time to choose a random winner of the “Pink” ribbon pack and card set.  A big thank you to all those who entered, we had a fabulous response.

So without further adieu… The winner is Wendy Mac.  Congratulations Wendy.

Please email info@craftqueen.com.au to claim your prize!

Thanks again to all who were in the draw and an extra big thank you to Craft Queen for the generous donation.

Well hello everyone,

and here is my take…

Hi there everyone,

Did you know that October is National Breast Cancer awareness Month?  It’s a month that I have always supported but this year it has meant a lot more … Some of you will know that my Mum was diagnosed with breast cancer in September of this year – she had her surgery a few weeks ago and will begin radiation therapy this week.   For me, breast cancer was something that happened to “other people” and I have (in a very real way) recently discovered just how many women are affected by this disease.  I feel so blessed that my mum’s cancer was picked up at an early stage and am hopeful that this will mean she can call herself a cancer survivor!!  I urge you all to go and see your doctor and ask about Breast Cancer and get your checks done, they could save your life!

So, with that being said, I am so glad to be joining with Craft Queen to help spread the word about Breast Cancer by hosting this giveaway.

Craft Queen have very generously donated this wonderful pack of  ribbon which you can win!

All divine aren’t they!?

I have also got into the spirit of it all and created these 2 “pink” cards which you will also receive.  Full of Craft Queen ribbon, Prima and Manor House flowers.
