Its been great being on holidays  in Victoria creating and sharing some happy new memories with family and friends.

Before Christmas I shared with you the Christmas Swing card I made and because I loved this card so much I decided to create a non Christmas card and I’d been really wanting to use the new Happiness Shared stamp set and thought this was the perfect combination.

How sweet is this card?

It makes the perfect card for any special lady you may happen to know and this card is just so easy!

Here is the card opened ….

Recipe ….

Stamps: Happiness Shared
Paper: Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, Very Vanilla
Inks: Jet Black Stazon, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, Versamark
Accessories: White Organza Ribbon, Aqua Painter, Paper Trimmer, Bone Scorer

This card is just so easy to do and I’d love to show you just how easy it is. It is simple enough to be done at a workshop or once I get back home I’ll be scheduling a Valentine’s Class so stay tuned for that.

I fly home on Wednesday so still have a couple of ‘Happy Memories’ to create with my Sister and parents and tomorrow I meet up with the lovely Kerri Hunter for lunch – cant wait!

Hello everyone!!

I do hope you’ve all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year – I had a wonderful time visiting my parents and sister over Christmas and New Year and it was great for my parents to have all their children together there which hasnt happened in a very long time – not since my little sister was married and thats some 20 years ago! It was a shame that not all the grandkids could be there but most of them were which was great.

Here’s some family photo’s to share ….

This is my lovely family.

Dont you just love Caitlyn’s smile?? It had nothing to do with me tickling her back

Emily always has the loveliest smile although she doesnt like having her photo taken – I’m glad she didnt cover her face with her hands in the family shots.

Here’s one of my favourites of my sister Jo and myself.

If you are on as one of my facebook friends you’ll recognise this one as my profile picture – funny thing is that it’s Jo’s facebook profile picture too!

Here’s a picture of my parents and their kids.

We are pretty well spread out ….

- Jenny (in the red on the left) lives in Sydney’s west

- David (the one with the shiny head) lives in Brisbane in the Redlands area (hope I got that right and I’m sure he’ll tell me if I havent!)

- Leonie (yup dats me ) in Sydney’s South West – Macarthur area as “South West” of Sydney can be anywhere from Newtown to Bowral!

Jo (on the far right) lives in Cobden next to Mum & Dad and teaches in Warrnambool

Now here’s the whole clan (minus a few Queenslanders)

Thanks for stoppin by
