Happy New 2010!

I hope everyone had a lovely New Year and that 2010 brings  exactly what you wish for.

After a lovely break at Caloundra, I'm back home at last.  I'm in the midst of a massive de-clutter which I am trying valiantly to do room by room while my four sweet darlings play quietly by themselves......*crickets*   Yeah, not so much.  I'm being interrupted every 5 minutes as they inevitably trail in one by one to ask the same question...."Can I have something to eat ?"   ARGH!  I'm sure many of you can relate to the mysterious holiday appetite bored children develop.

But enough about me, what about the craft?

I have a couple of gorgeous handmade Christmas gifts I was lucky enough to receive,  as you can see:
This was not Handmade by Lou, but Handmade by Trish Hollis, a tallented sister Demo.  She embossed the Baroque Motifs stamp onto glass, what a clever girl!   I was lucky enough to receive this gift in our Team Christmas party swap.  It was full of rocky road chocolate when I received it too.....wonder what happened to it?









Next, the gorgeous Bec O'Gorman spoiled me with this group of scrumminess:


A little bookmark, watering can made of DSP, a sparkly pen (the green is chunky sprinkles) and these pretty earrings made from beads and pearls from the Pretties Kit.  She is so talented.  I am very lucky!

I will be back soon with some more lovely things to show you, but I have to go read some stories and tuck some little people into bed.

Getting closer....

It's nearly that time of year, where the retirement list comes out.  That means the in-colours we've loved the past 2 years are leav...
