Happy New Year

Hi everyone, and welcome to 2011.
Hubby and I spent Christmas with our younger son David and his lovely partner Claire, while our older son Justin was having fun kite surfing over in W.A. We missed him like crazy of course, and will make up for his absence on his return.

Recently, a friend hosted a card class along with 7 other lovely ladies and the following are the cards they made on the day.

We have a room in our home that has been a ‘nothing’ type room and quite dark. One of our sons had it as a bedroom years ago and we jokingly referred to it as the ‘cave room’. Recently a builder friend made a window type opening in one wall to enable more light in and open up the room, and what a difference it has made. It is situated right next door to our computer area and my craft room, and is just like an extension of that area. I call it my ‘studio’ which will enable me to conduct classes here at my home, although I am still very happy to come to you. I can accommodate up to 6 ladies or even 1 or 2, your choice. Phone or email me anytime.

Holiday rest

Hi everyone. Hope you all  enjoyed a wonderful Christmas with your families, and Santa was kind to you. I'd like to wish everyone a healthy and happy 2011.
I'm taking a short break over the holiday period and will be up and posting very soon.
I hope you like my new blog; it has been made possible with thanks to Kelly-ann and Danielle, my 2 amazing computer savvy girlfriends. Hugs to you both.
