Hey there!  I hope you’ve had a great week.  I’ve had a funny kind of week, really busy but really enjoyable.  I started off the week having lunch with my three sisters and Mum & Dad which is a very rare occurence these days.  I hatched a scheme to make sure Mum was going to be home and then organised that we four girls turn up with lunch.  It was a nice change of pace and a much needed catch up for all of us.  Of course it went way too quickly and before we knew it we were all rushing off to various duties.

Tuesday I had a super quick but lovely catch up with Keesh and her little monkey Jayana (who is always a charmer) then managed to squeeze in my first touch of Christmas shopping and get my hair done!  It’s amazing how good you feel when those greys are chased away!

The past few days I have been busy prepping for a class, a workshop and getting ready for our long weekend in Margaret River.  No, you can’t have a long weekend – we are making our own!  Throw in a bunch of other families in caravans, a bit of off-roading, some camp fire cooking, toasted marshmallows, lunch at a winery and the odd bakery visit and you get the idea of what lies ahead.  Such is life! I may even have to sneak in a visit to the chocolate factory!

I haven’t had much time to create this week at all so I decided to show you one of the cards I made for a recent Christmas card class.

Stamp sets:  Snow Swirled, Best Yet (Level 1 hostess)
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Real Red, Baja Breeze
Inks:  Baja Breeze
Accessories:  Scallop square punch, lge square punch, silver brads, wide grosgrain Real Red ribbon.

Don’t forget you can earn the Scallop Square Punch for FREE when you spend $85 or more on items on the Christmas Extravaganza Gift Giving Guide.  See here for more details.

Well, I’m off to finish the packing.  See you next week. 

Cheers
