A couple of weeks ago we did a mini photo shoot with the lovely Evy from
ByEvy Photography on a farm close to where we live...I was a bit worried as the weather had been atrocious
through the day (had been soaked
through watching Morgan play football and quite a lot of games had been cancelled) but our time slot was 4.30pm and it was probably the nicest part of the day...the kids had a lovely time and I even have some photos of Morgan smiling...so all good...this is just a couple of the photos that I got on disc all beautifully packaged up from Evy yesterday!!! I would
thoroughly recommend her....

Onto the Ladies Shopping Night in aid of funds for
Strathburn Park 2s and Playgroup...once again a lot of ladies turned out for this very well supported event and spent lots of pennies, especially at my stall so thank you ladies....

This is a couple of canvases I made this week as I am trying to move on with the stall items and get some new and fresh ideas in... these were both inspired by cards that I had seen on
Pinterest (which is just the most brilliant site ever and if you aren't a member - why not????)

This is a button chalkboard which started out as a magnetic chalkboard but about 8 coats of magnetic chalkboard paint later it still wasn't magnetic...
lol.. so I gave up and gave it a couple of coats of Claudine's black acrylic paint which works brilliantly as chalkboard....the buttons were mostly from blog candy won from the
Artful Splodger(remember the box I gave to
Sonja for her birthday - it was full of buttons when I received it) and I hot glue gunned them on which took a few hours and a lot of swear words!!!!!

This is a tiny wee box that got the same treatment as the bigger one except I used a
Stampin' Up stamp and punch along with some Hero Arts
Digi butterflies to create the top...I glossy accented the butterflies to make them pop....

These Christmas Countdowns are made from '
upcycled' stamp blocks and the kids old building block...lots of paint to cover them...the papers used are Festive Signature from
MyMindsEye...and I stamped and embossed using some new embossing enamel from
Stampendous called Vintage Silver...It's lush!!!
And that's it from me for today...I now need to get cracking with some orders that I had from last night...
TTFN(as the kids say)
