Back from trip to Australia

We are back from a wonderful Christmas vacation to Australia. Met some wonderful craft ladies there. Two in particular were especially kind to the two of us - Doreen and Patsy took us out each day our first week - looking at rainforests, botanical gardens, the Glass Mountains, then Patsy had to go back to work so it was Doreen, Morris and myself travelling about..... where the floods had been last year in Toowoomba in particular - my hubby had been there 40 years ago and was anxious to return - he didn't recognize much - it is quite a large place and driving through, you would not really know they experienced such tragedy a year ago......
the Australians are a resilient lot - yes we still love the country and it was especially nice to see our new DIL experience it for the first time.
Bought a lot of crafting supplies whilst there.....now I have to put them to good use. Hopefully this week, will get busy and create. When I do, I will share!

New Creations


Got the layout from online class I took - the snowflake is Spellbinders, the tree is a cuttlekid die I got when I first got my cuttlebug - the cuttlekid dies are no longer made and hard to come buy so really I got this when I did (about 5 years ago)! thanks for looking

Finished Cards

Each year my SIL's choir holds a silent auction - a fund raising event going to a worthy cause. The auction doesn't take place until Oct but I like to be organized and get my contribution completed and on its way to her. Have lost count how long I have been making cards for her auction - this year I made six packs - yes 36 cards in total - Done! Just waiting for date to drop off, so they can make the trip to Manitoba where SIL lives. I even remembered to take pics of most of them before packaging them.....so stay tuned....
