Easter Egg Hunt

Just a Quick post, today is the day for the Hunt part of the Easter Egg swap that I was involved in, these are the eggs that I made for this swap.




They were so much fun to make, now I am off to find the Eggs that were sent to me, I will show them to you when I know who made them.

UPDATE : Yeah that was so much fun hunting for the maker of the eggs that I received. So here are the beautiful eggs that arrived in the post for me.

This beauty was made by Elizabeth -

And this cutie was made by Kathy -
A big thank you to both ladies for such beautiful Eggs, this is where I have them displayed at my front door, they are the first thing that you see as you enter my home.

Thank you so much to Viv for organising this wonderful fun swap, if you would like to see more of the Easter Eggs that were created pop on over to Viv's blog for a list of participants.

Till next Friday,

Cheers,

Paper Work and Some Easter Decorating too.

Hi All,

I had a very exciting week this week I spent three days filing and sorting out paper work as well as completing our BAS and clearing out the computer desk, exciting hey, I do feel great now that it is all done though, it puts a smile on my face each time that I look over at how clean our office corner is at the moment. At least that is now one job of my list completed.

I did get up to some other more exciting things though too, I finished two of these for my nieces for Easter I have another two to finish, and I did have time to do a little Easter decorating too.



I had a couple of parcels arrive this week too, one from the lovely Gail.


And the other I can't show you yet I have to wait till 5th April, but my eggs arrived for the Easter Egg Hunt Swap, and they are just so cute, I can't wait to find out who made them (that is the hunt part of the swap).
Until next time.
Cheers,

Some more swaps to show and oh no not again

I have been so busy, sorry (addicted) to swapbot lately that I have not had much time for anything else.

Spring Theme Whimsy Jar



Easter Eggstravaganza Swap, the eggs are filled with little surprises.




But I have decided to cut back on swaps so that I have time for other projects around here, my list of projects to finish is getting nowhere at the moment. I hope to try and finish one project a week and then I will post about it every Friday, I feel as though I have been neglecting my blogging lately too, I know that there are quite a few bloggs that I have to catch up with so I will be popping in again soon.


And now onto the oh no not again, (although that is not what I said at the time) for those of you lovely ladies who might not know about 8 months ago we were involved in a car accident, no one was hurt except whiplash, at the time my husband Paul was driving my car and a P plater failed to give way to us and did $10,500 damage to my car (that was with second hand parts!) now 8 months on would you believe it happened again, different intersection with Paul driving my car again, except this time a guy went through a red light another $10,000 worth of damage to basically the same parts of the car that was damaged and fixed last time. (He could of a least hit the back so that was all new too!) As I am writing this I do have a smile on my face because I just can't believe our luck at the moment, but we all did walk away from the accident again with only whiplash, oh and Paul is no longer allowed to drive my car, which I should get back today or tomorrow Yeah!


I hope you all have a wonderful and safe week, until next Friday.


Cheers,

Busy, Busy, Busy.

Wow it has been a while since I last posted, here are some of things that I have been up to lately.

I have been working on some decorated eggs for this swap, I can't show you the finished result yet as the participants have to have a hunt for their eggs on April 5th.




I made my first ever button fairy -



An ATC scavenger hunt, can you find - Thongs, a pet, flowers, food, sunglasses, stamp, feet, hat, lips and a quote.



One swap that I received the other day was just beautiful I had to show you all, this was for the craft scavenger hunt, it came from Angela in the USA



The parcel also included a romantic country magazine and a romantic living magazine. Thank you Angela.

I was also lucky enough to win this beauiful ATC from Nancy in the USA


Rugby League and Touch Football seasons have now started so I have been busy running my boys to training and games, other then that I don't know where all my time has gone. Hope to catch up with you all soon.


Cheers,

My OWOH Winner Announced

I decided to choose my winner the old fashioned way, I cut up all the comments and placed them in a hat and got my son to choose, so the winner is -

Rachael from The Rose Room

I would have taken a photo of the whole process but it is so dark and rainy here at the moment that I couldn't get a clear photo.

Congratulations to Rachael, I have had so much fun with this event there were 911 blogs participating in the giveaway, I have found so many more wonderful crafty people all over the world that this event has been such a wonderful experience for me.

Thank you all to for all the prayers for the victims of the bush fires and floods, although I personally am a long way away from these tragedies I am sure that the victims all know that both Australia and the rest of the world has been praying for them.

Cheers,
