Goodbye, 2012!

Tonight is the last day of 2012!  Can you believe it?  Here in New Zealand we've survived natural disasters like earthquakes, tornadoes and volcanic eruptions!  It certainly has been a year filled with many ups and downs for our country.  The highlight of the year, I think, would have to be the many gold medals our Olympic athletes have brought home.
As for my family and I this will be our 4th New Year in New Zealand and we are looking forward to a year filled with good health and prosperity.
As for myself, I have a few plans in the pipeline and I hope to set these in motion for 2013.
So here's wishing all you crafters, friends and family a wonderful 2013!

Long Bay Primary School Christmas Shopping Night!

The Long Bay Primary School Christmas Shopping Night took place yesterday evening, Friday, 16 November!  What an awesome night!  There was a long queue outside the school hall from about 5:45 pm (NZ time) and all the ladies were itching to get inside and shop up a storm!  All us stall holders were also keen to 'sell our wares'!!
To be honest I was a bit nervous as this was my first time doing a Christmas school market and I have been making Christmas items to sell since mid-September!  Well needless to say, it was a very successful night for me and I hope for all the other stall holders as well!
Here are some photos of my stall.  I would like to send out a great BIG THANKS to all those other crafters out there who have shared their projects on the web - there were quite a few of you who were the inspiration for quite a number of my projects that were on sale.
Also thanks to all those ladies who shopped at my stall last night!  I hope you all managed to find those special Christmas gifts for your loved ones!

Wow!  Can't believe how the time as just flown by!  I have been AWOL for quite some time as I lost my mojo for a time - I've been trying to get back to my sewing mode - I think the last time I ever sewed anything was about 5+ years ago!!!  Well I've given up on that as I just couldn't seem to get into it.  The sewing machine and fabrics have now been put away AGAIN!  So finally I thought well lets try and make a card - haven't stopped since then!  Yep, MOJO IS BACK!!!!!  I think bottom line, I'm a papercrafter at heart!  So to kick off my first post (after a looonnngg time) here are two pictures show casing what I've been up to lately.  These projects are actually items that will be on sale at the 2012 Long Bay Ladies Christmas Shopping Night which is due to take place on Friday, 16 November from 6:30 pm to 9 pm - so if you are keen to have a night out with your mates, come along to the Shopping Night - tickets are availabe through Long Bay Primary School and you can visit the following link http://www.facebook.com/ChristmasShoppingNight   to see what other items will be available.
