And then it was December!!!!!

 Hello Stampers

Well where did November go????  Hahaha time just flashes before my eyes 😲  Now really in the Christmas mode.  Had my last Coffee, Cake & Card Morning yesterday.  7 lovely ladies enjoyed a super delicious cup of coffee and key lime tart, chocolate brownie and chocolate caramel slice as well as making a fun masculine birthday card

I hold the class at my local Dicky Beach Surf Lifesaving Club and they really do look after us and we are the only ones there at that time of day 😁😊  

The Classes start up again in February 2024.  I will be having a little "Re-Charge & Re-Fresh" Break now.

I had my last Saturday Morning Class on Saturday 9th December and had everyone all in together at a local Community Centre and it certainly was a ton of fun 😊

NOVEMBER NEWS

 Hello Stampers

November started and I spent the first week away on a little getaway with The Girls 👧👧👧👧 We went to Coolangatta which is on the southern part of the Gold Coast.  A bit of different scenery from the Sunshine Coast where I am from 😉  We got all "dolled up!" for the Melbourne Cup - a very famous Horse Race here in Australia.  I had a tiny little bet and happened to pick the Winner this time.  Happy Days 🐎🐎🐎🐎  I am the one with the Black Fascinator 😁

I was a little bit late creating my November Hostess Code but here it is now and my free "Thank You" Gift from me for all Online Orders during the month of November is a selection of 6" x 6" Christmas Designer Series Papers.

There is a great "Seasonal Sale going on right now and until midnight tonight.  So jump into my Online Shop here and pick up some little bargains to help with your Christmas and other fun creations.

One of the many fun things about being part of the Stampin' Up! ® Family is we get to attend the fun Events they hold a few times a year.  Last weekend we had our OnStage@Home Event which we registered online for and enjoyed the whole day of seeing new products coming soon and also being the first to see the new upcoming Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-Bration Brochure starting early next year.  I can't say too much but be did have a lot of fun and I can share a few pics of us all joining in the frivolity of the day.  Loving the OnStage socks that Nicole is wearing.

We got to play with a new Suite called " Bee Mine" Suite and it has lots of cute little bees of course.  Here are the 2 cards we made

Our next OnStage (Convention)  Event will be held in Melbourne here in Australia in March next year. It is a 3-Day Event full of fun and craftiness.   I would love you to join us at this super fun event.  Watch my Website early in the year for some exciting news about joining my Team of Sunburst Stampers!!  😁😎😉

I must be off now to add more Christmas Cards to my collection for sending out this year.

Happy Stamping everyone

Happy October Crafting!!

 Hello Stampers

Oh My!!!!  it has been 6 weeks till I posted last😳😮.  Gosh life has just been so busy!!!  I have been on a little trip on The Ghan from Adelaide to Darwin.  That was a ton of fun and another thing ticked off my Bucket List 😊😉🚆

Then spent a few days with my Brother and Sister-in-Law in Darwin.  So nice to catch up with Family when in Darwin.

Then not long back and it was World Card Making Day.  I hold my Annual Event on this day and another fun crafting day was had by all.  Lots of Cards to choose from on the Card Buffet and lots of cool Stamping Prizes. Thank You Stampin' Up!

Each attendee donated 1 card they made on the day to share amongst my 3 x Charities I support - WishList Sunshine Coast University Hospital; Ronald McDonald House Charities - Brisbane and Blackbird house in Caloundra.

I also donated $200.00 to the National Heart Foundation in Australia - a cause very close to my "Heart" as I lost my Husband at a very young age to Heart Disease 😭

Busy Crafting Time!!!

 Hello Stampers

It is a very busy Crafting Time here at my place right now.  Firstly I have a Fashion Parade Fundraiser for my local Caloundra Evening VIEW Club and I have made 72 little chocolate bags for the occasion

The "Dress Up" Dies from way back are simply my favourites and I will never give them up.  I have made many a special card and other projects over the years using them.  This time they were just perfect for a Fashion Parade little chocolate gift for everyone attending.  I am thinking it will be a great little fundraiser for our Group.

It will be another fun-filled day full of craftiness, laughter and lots of prizes!  I am busily working on the cards you will all get to make.  It will be a Card Buffet which means you can choose which cards you make and there will be quite a lot to choose from.
