A birdie told me …

Wow the Saturday’s do come around quick dont they – especially when you are on School holidays!

Here is this week’s sketch from the lovely Carol …

Here is my card ….

I’ve had the Aviary set since before Christmas but hadnt had the chance to put it to ink before then.  I will warn you though that when you are using this set you may find that those sneaky little birds, as cute as they are, have a tendancy to fly!  I lost one of them for at least 45 minutes and found her perched on a roll of ribbon!  Sneaky little chick!

Its been a very heart-wrenching week here in Australia with Queensland declared at Natural Disaster with huge floods in many areas and with that loss of life, property and businesses. It saddens my heart everytime I think of what has happened there but then I’m also grateful for my family and friends there who are safe.  Then we had fires in Western Australia and now more floods in Victoria – it makes one wonder where it will end.

Stampin’ Up! have announced they will donate $2 from every stamp set (valued at $30 and over) sold between 15th January and 15th February with the funds going to Queensland State Emergency Services. These guys work so hard and most of them are volunteers so if you have some stamps you’ve been meaning to get well now is the time and it will help all those people in Queensland who desperately need the help.

In addition to Stampin’ Up!’s donation I will be donating my commission on the sales of these sets as well and I’ll also pop in an extra $10 donation for anyone holding a demonstration between 15th January and 15th February.

Also, anyone placing an mail, email or phone order (not part of a demonstration or workshop) between 15th January and 15th February will go into a draw for a bonus free stamp set – Every Moment (p72)

So grab your phone and diary and give me a call to book in your demonstration or place your order.
