Something to think about

Around this time of year the shop are filled to capacity with people, toys, food and it seem so many of us are so stressed we lose sight of the whole meaning behind christmas. We are celebrating the birth of Jesus. It is a time to give and be happy.

This is a photo currently doing the rounds on facebook. It breaks my heart to know that so many children out there are flat out getting water or food. Our little family do our best to support  TEAR projects and I am thinking a donations to them will be more helpful then another plastic toy.

A Minor Dilemma!!!!!!!

So I have a bit of dilemma!!! Totally my fault of course for setting the bar way to high way to early!!!  I am talking about the end of year teachers gift and the end of year class gift for the girls friends, So here is what I took in for Lili's teacher last year

 

 A survival kit with lots and lots of things that we thought she may have needed!!!! In fact there is so much in there  I hardly remember any of it. I had seeds, candles, time out bar, sewing kit, mints, clipboard etc etc  So my question to you all is, Where to go from here. The teachers are already talking waiting to see what I come up with so the pressure is on !!!!!!!

These little top note boxes I made for each member of Lili's class they all had lollies and candy cane in each one. there are hours of work  in this basket and I even made sure the kids who do not celebrate Christmas just got a generic Happy Holidays box (hence the out of place Razzleberry box) . When Lili asked me for something really special this year I asked her what I made last year for all her friends and she had no idea. So is it really worth the effort if she cant remember it!!!!!!!!

Now last but not least my middle child was still at preschool and so I made everyone at preschool a packet of reindeer food to take home, by this stage of the end of year  I was running out of time and so these were pretty plain, but well received.  

So the daunting task in front of me at the moment is to work out 2 awesome Teacher presents (at least) the girls usually want to any teacher they talk to a present LOL, as well as at least 50 class friend presents. I am thinking I should better get a cracking or I may not have any sleep until next year!!!!!! Any suggestions????

Thanks For looking

Whoops I've been MIA again

This time of year is completely crazy for me, with a market or school fair on every weekend until school finishes. Not that I am complaining. It is great fun making all the product and meeting the people who want to buy them.

So here are just a few examples of what I have been working on this week.
Post it note books with pens!!!!!!! I have used the new Stampin' Up! stockings punch sooooooo cute

All products used are from Stampin' Up! I have used both current and retired papers. Any questions please just ask @ emmaharveyclark@yahoo.com.au

These cards and boxes are made by the talented ladies from Inkwishes, you can find them on facebook or at Springwood Ivy markets on the 2nd Sunday of the each month

 

As you can probably see from the photos it was a whole family affair. I think we spent more than we made but it was nice to have such lovely feedback from so many people
