having an awesome time

Here I am in FNQ and loving it as I always do!!

Jess my gorgeous daughter came with me to spend some time in Port Douglas and she was blown away by the sightsand sounds of the region. We had an awesome time indeed.Butterfly Sanctuary, Mareeba Coffee Works, Rainforest Habitat, Kuranda, and a wonderful guided tour of the Daintree and Cape Tribulation.

Then a fabulous ScrapTherapy Retreat where I created and taught a class, met new friends and reconnected with old friends too. Such a great time!

Now hubby is up and we are in beautiful Mt Quincan enjoying the  most amazing treehouse in the forest and this morning watched the brolgas in the nearby field - how awesome is that?? I will pop uplinks to this all when I get home. But needless to say I am coming here again. It is so wonderful.

I have 2 bits of very exciting news to share with you......

Firstly I am sponsoring Card and a half for June  which will be awesome - please pop onto the right side bar and enter the competition.....and the winner will receive a wonderful pack of goodies

Secondly I will be teaching at the LSBS Retreat in August on the Thursday evening..... I have an awesome idea which I think the girls will just love

Time to go now..... don't forget to pop into the shop and pay your deposit for the Autumn Escape Retreat. It will reopen on the 10th June and spaces are definitely limited.

Lots of love - I am about to have a shower and walk around the Mt Quincan Crater

All my bags are packed

Well it is that time again when my bags are packed and I am almost off to the bright and warm tropics .... to the Scrap Therapy Retreat. It is a lovely area and there is so much to explore there I seriously cannot wait. I am seriously going to have a break from creating things for the shop but scrap instead (however I will have lots to share when I return!!

Please note that the shop will be closed until the 10th June so orders will be filled on Friday then the shop will be in holiday mode. So if you need a few things - please order and pay by Paypal top receive your goodies quickly.

I have been working hard in the shop and it is going so well - lots of sales and lots of comments. I now have repeat customers - lovely people who love my work and order again and again. People I have never met and yet trust my stuff to use on their work, arriving in its little package and they let me know how much they love receiving it all.

As a little gift I have popped some seam binding in the shop in gorgeous sunset colours for just 20cents! That is 3 metres of this wonderful stuff in pinks, oranges, blues and violet. The seam binding comes with 10 cards to give out to your friends, so you can help my little shop to become better known...... and I thanks you so much. So next time you order - spend a little 20cents for an extra goodie!! smile

This is what the icon looks like

Here is what Michelle says:

Here is a LO I created using the Numbers Kit. The 'Secret Bird Society' PP from Kaiser was just perfect to coordinate with this kit.

I have ordered a heap of new cameos today (so exciting - as I now have a very talented supplier and her work is completely awesome! And one of the reasons I did that is now I have completed so many new kits this last week I have run out!!!!! So that is great news for you all - more kits are coming to the shop..... so there is a lot to load this week

And also happy Mothers Day to you all.... I hope you were thoroughly and completely spoilt with lots of love and a few surprises.

Lots of love
