Hello there everybody

Pew we have been having some really hot days here in Pounawea,
What have I been up to, Well where do I start!
I have been creating lots, Getting a few classes ready for my Trip to Palmerston North where the Craft and Quilt Fair is being held www.craftevents.co.nz  which is on Febuary 14th - 17th 2013 Heres some Sneak Peek Pics

I will be Tutoring for Hastings Rubber Stamps, at this show. www.hrsrub.co.nz

.

Things are a little quiet around here today as Ellen headed back to school, It is so hard to believe that she is in Year 12 or as some of us would say 6th form. Hope she has as good a year as she did last year.

Oh well better go get some work done

Cheers Wilma

Where has the time gone

Well seem abit silly to wish you all a merry Xmas and a Happy New Year, as they have flown around and we are now more than half way through January.

Like everyone my life has been busy,
 .
Ellen got very pleasing exam results, which she was pleased about. And so was her Mother! LOL

She has also been creating lots of flower arrangements for people and has volunteered to do the church flowers for Sundays service, and she is getting really good remarks about them.

Phil has been busy in the vege garden, and we are eating the produce, which is Yummy.
and Hayden is just being Hayden, Went back to work this week, He had quite a break for Xmas, but he did manage to do some diving and get some Paua.

I have just got back into creating this week, Had to get my A into G as I am heading to the Palmerston North Quilt show with Hastings Rubber Stamps to do classes for them Next month, You can check that out on there web site www.hasrub.co.nz.
Here is a couple of cards I made the other day

 This one is made with Memory box Dies, I love them they are so much fun to create with

This is really pretty and I used the Hastings Rubber With Love Stamp

Better go and do something constructive I guess

Love to All

Wilma

P.S. Please check out www.hasrub.co.nz to see all about Stamp camp

I have been sitting here telling everybody how busy Ive been and what my family has been doing , what they have achieved over the holiday break, Only to nearly complete it and attach a couple of photos to look up and it has all disappeared in to thin air, Grrrrrr
Now time is against me so I will get back  soon

Livia Helen Allison Gardner  was born this week, this little darling is my great  niece.
Today i have been and had cuddles, there is something special about cuddling a new born baby.

 I made a card for them and this is what it looks like
Well this week I need to get into some very serious card making
so watch this space
Cheers Wilma

Made these Xmas cards today

In my spare time hehe

 This card is made using Memory Box Dies and an old Cuttlebug folder

 This card has a little touch of tartan for xmas and have used the spellbinders to cut shapes

These two cards are my favourite  I just love this little girls stamp, So I did a little Xmas on her

Cheers Wilma
