A gift for a special coach

My girls started netball this year and as luck would have it they were in the same team.  I used to play way back in the day and it has  been sooooooo awesome watching them learn the game over the past few months. Lili wants to be a goal shooter and got quite a few goals in. Jaz on the other hand was just happy to get the ball!!!  Their coach Lynda was so patient with them all the time, not sure how she did it sometimes, but by the end of the season the whole team was playing so well. I LOVED it so much!!!!!

The team all put in for a gift voucher for Lynda and I decided I couldn't give it to her as is, I had to spruce it up a little. Here is what I came up in




 A folder that had the gift voucher and thank you card



You may notice that there are a few new products used here. I am thinking the delicate Dollies set is going to be a favourite of mine, along with new lace ribbon border.

Thanks for looking

Science fair project!!!!!

 When I purchased the Bigshot machine 12 months ago, I never imagined that it would be useful for school science projects. After seeing the many different materials it cuts through, when we were given the task of making a toy out of recyclable product tin cans came to mind. My daughter Jaz who is currently in kindy was super excited that she was able to wind all the different coloured cans through the machine and have them come out as butterflies and flowers!!!! We reused some ribbon and coat hangers and there you have a completed science project!!!! A mobile !!!!! As  you can see she was quite proud of it!!!!

Are you sitting down??????


 It has been a very long time between posts, no excuses just life , but here is what I have been up to recently.



 I love this stamp set Printed Petals so much and I was so very happy that is was NOT retired this year!!! The first card I used the colour combo Melon Mambo, Daffodil delight and Pumpkin pie. All bright and cheery and the second card uses Rich Razzleberry and Early Espresso. This is one of my favourite colour combos. I use it all the time.
 My beautiful Upline Petronela sent me a choc slider for being number 1 in sales her team for the year. Not sure how much of those sales are product sitting in my cupboard,(eek) but it has been super fun being a demo and even more so expanding my collection.Thanks Petronela for being such an awesome upline!!!!
I have taken the slider idea and made loads. They are such a great gift and people are so interested in how they work. Here are just a few examples.  Want to make your own here is a link to Petronela's instructions.
 All of the paper that I have used is retiring at the end of this month so remember to put in an order ASAP if any tickle you fancy!!!!!! I will particularly miss the Love Letters and well all of them really!!!!

Well that's all for now I will promise to update my blog far more regularly and hope to keep you all inspired.
