The Day after!!

'twas the day after Christmas and all threw the house not a creature was stirring and thank goodness there was no mouse.
The presents have been unwrapped and the food that took days to cook has all been eaten.
The children are happy playing with their new toys.
Mum and dad are wondering why did they get the ones that make so much noise.

I forgot to blog the past week my poor blogging friends:(

Advent Calendar Completed

Here is my completed Advent Calendar.

My completed project

The before project.

 I did have a few issues with the little chipboard drawers and have learnt to cut my patterned paper into strips and then glue or doublesided tape them on. But hey there were no instructions with the kit and I also didn't grab the magazine that kaiser put out in September with the instructions in it.

Here is a fab link to the Kaisercraft Blog that shows you 3 other ways to use this little project.

Now onto project number 2 for Christmas so I will catch you all again soon.

29 days till Chistmas 2010

Welcome to FlogYoBlog Friday

Its only 29 days till Christmas....oh boy!!!
What to do?? What to do???
Yesterday afternoon a friend and I ended up at the Kaisercraft outlet store here in Geelong she needed some items for an album she was finishing and I needed some inspiration for some Chirstmas craft projects I wanted to do. I do so dislike going to Kaiser without any money I can tell you so once THE MOTH got paid and passed me some cash I went back there .... well I had found my inspiration after all and you got to strike while the iron is hot don't you?
So here are the projects I am going to start this weekend.

Advent Calendar

 I have already started on this one as I inked the inside of the 25 little chipboard draws last night.

Bauble Tag Album

Star Wreath

I also bought some paper pads, embellishments and a little kit for a competition they are holding. Oh I also bought a fort to do up for the Cheeky Monkey just for the fun of it..you understand don't you?

I will update over the weekend with my progress on these projects so stay tuned and enjoy your weekend. I know I will as we have been told its suppose to rain on and off this weekend hence the craft projects.

OMG its November where has the year gone?

Oh no its the 2nd of November already where has the year gone? Someone stole October I swear :)
It's a good thing I am a bit, lot, little creative LOL. As money is a bit tight around here. My DH lost his job 2 weeks ago and is now looking for work again but things are a little, a bloody lot slow on the job front for him.
Not only do I need to get Christmas pressies organised for the family, extended family and our grandson the Cheeky Monkey but its also the Cheeky Monkey's 2nd Birthday in the 1st week of December so I think its time to put my creative hat on once again and come up with some cool gifts for everyone.

Here is a little something I put together for our adoptive daughter Nikkie

Its 2 size 00 singlets for the twins she is expecting early May 2011

I have added some Toy Story transfers to the plan white singlets and I must say they have come up pretty good.

And there is this cute little baby blanket I crochet

But now I am not sure if I will give them to her for Christmas or save them for her baby shower :(

Till next time take care and have a good one :)
