I'm Back

Its been such a long time since I have been on my blog and would like to apologize to all my followers for that. I have had some personal issues that needed my attention. But I'm back in the swing of things and hope you all enjoy what I have done in my July class.

Candy Girls Can Class

This is my July class called "THE CANDY GIRLS CAN"

Another Christmas Gift

Here are some more gifts that I'm making for Christmas.


I love these little pegs ( I think they so cute)



I like to give people personalised gift and with these little
tags I am able to do that.

Christmas Treat Gift

I'm making some of these gift boxes to give to some family friends for Christmas.
I like the idea of giving a family a gift to share rather than giving individual gifts to each member. I will be filling the boxes with different types of treats (Nuts, Chocolate ect,)

I will also be teaching this in my next workshop (To be held in November)

A card for boss day

A friend of mine asked me to make a card for her to give to her boss on 'BOSS DAY' !!! I never even knew that we had one of those but apparently we do, it is on Friday, 16 October. - the BOSS is the headmistress of one of our local schools..... hope she likes it.

An Award for me.......

What a privilege to receive this award. I am so surprised (YAY YAY YIPPEE YAY)

I've been told that I have to share 7 things about myself before passing this award on to 7 other crafting blogger buddies. So here goes.

1. Im very thankful for being blessed with creative talent

2. Cancer, although I do not have cancer it has affected my life so badly. I lost my mother to cancer when I was very young and more recently my best friend who was only 39 years old. The Cancer Association Of South Africa is a charity very close to my heart.

3. I am a diabetic (not a very good one) and I pray that I have more self control and discipline when making food choices.. Any advise in this regard is welcome.

4. I am blessed and very fortunate in that I have always been a stay at home mom. Although I do teach crafts and do workshops, I do not consider that work.

5. I have been blessed with 2 wonderful sons that bring me more joy than any other single thing on earth. Dylan (22 yrs old) has a full time job Mon to Fri and on weekend he work as a voluntary life guard on our beautiful local beaches. Kye (19 yrs old) is currently studying to be a high school educator, he also does voluntary life guarding duties on weekends.

6. I am an animal LOVER... But my favourite furry friends are most defiantly my 5 (yes 5) cats. I absolutely adore them and they run the household.

7. last but not least I am so very very blessed with the most amazing friends in the world.... Each and every one of them I cherish.


Now I will be surfing the web going to visit all my blog friends and deciding who it is that I would like to pass this award on to ........... THE PRESSURE ....

A Special Wedding Invitation

A good friend of mine is getting married next year and has asked me to design her invitations. She is getting married at a wild life game reserve. She wants to keep the colours of the wedding natural so I decided to make the sample invites in different shades of green. I made two samples, the first is a large 750ml bottle of locally produced red wine and the second is a small 175ml bottle of red wine also produced here in South Africa. Each invitation will be in a little wooden box lined with straw and hand delivered.

I thought it would be nice to add a note in the wooden box asking people that were attending to bring their bottle of wine to drink at the receptions and to ask those people that could not attend to drink their wine on the evening of the wedding.

Pewter art

I hand embossed some pewter and put it on a
bottle of red wine. This makes a lovely gift
for special birthdays, weddings, engagements
and Christmas.

Cards

These are just two cards I had lying around in my craft room.
Decided to put them on my blog.

A little bit of pink

Two quick and simple cards that could be used for any occasion.

Mini Acetate Album

This is a few pages of a little mini album I have made for my sons girlfriend to take to her host family in America where she will be spending the next year. The photos are of their little girl Madeleine.
