Kit Tips and Ideas are now up on the website!

What a great Christmas Day I had.
It started when we got up, Carly was up nice and early, well a bit too early! 6am and came running in to tell us that the big man had been and that there was heaps of pressies and he had eaten his biscuits and even the reindeer's had had their carrots! She also added that they had also done number 2's on the veranda ( I put chocolate coated sultana's).
We all got up and unwrapped our Santa presents! They where so excited and I actually think they liked tearing open the presents more than anything. After the unwrapping we took them out to the garage to show them the big Trampoline, it had to be put up in the garage because it had not stopped raining (and hailing). So we had a jump and then some breakie. Then we went to our neighbours for some drinks and then back home and my nephew joined us for lunch, after this we unwrapped our presents from each other. Then off to Nonna's (Bruno's Mum's) for Christmas dinner, not that any of us where hungry. Here was the same eating and more presents. But it was such a nice relaxing day and catching up with family.
December's kit Tips and Ideas are now up on the website. Click here to view them. Hope you find some inspiration from these.
For the first seven days of January we will be running a little competition. Each day I will post a question here and the first person to post an answer will win a Sissey gift bag. More details of this will be sent out in an email and also posted here.

Merry Christmas

Wow! Can't believe it is Christmas Eve. I think all is ready. We just got back from Morwell where we met my parents for lunch, so sad I won't get to see them tomorrow, but that is what happens when you have family all over the country side!
I just can't wait for tomorrow morning, I love seeing the girls get so excited, they are currently writing their letters to Santa ( a bit late but they don't seem to care as long as Santa comes).
Every year my Girlfriend Georgie, her 2 daughters and my girls and I go of and get a Santa photo together, but this year my darling Maddy, decided she did not want to be part of it. All she wanted was a Bratz Scooter and everytime she saw Santa this is what she asked for, but because they had seen my parents the other night and they gave her a Bratz Scooter, so she announced to everyone she did "not want to be part of the Stupid photo because she already had her Scooter". Yes, that is exactly what she said, so I tried to hold her and she just kept screaming it out. So this year there is no Maddy in the photo. I will put it up on the site when I get a copy.
Anyway had better go and help with the letter writing.
Hope you all have a safe and well Christmas.
Take Care and Thanks for stopping by.

Hi
All December collections have now been posted and you should receive them any day now! But am still waiting on a few direct deposits.
Well it is such a busy month, but the December kit ideas should be up on the website tomorrow. i Finally think I have done all the Christmas Shopping, got up really early with the girls ( 6.00) ad went to the shops, (in Melbourne we really have to go this early to get a parking spot) and I think it is complete, came home and have wrapt all the presents. Did the Santa wrapping last night to make sure all was even. They are getting a trampoline, so don't know the eve plans yet, but it is so lovely, and innocent the belief they have!
Any way hope you are all enjoying the season!
Take Care'

Catch Up On Time

What a week, I can''t believe I haven't posted in over a week.
Have been really busy! Have packed January kits to go out to the deisgn team. Ordered Febuary kits now, because of the Christmas break. All December Kits are packed and ready to be posted. Today all subscriptions have been charged!!
But personal life has also been extremely busy, my 5 year old Carly seems to be invited to every party at kinder, we had 4 this week to go to! Then with Christmas in 10 days, I never feel like I am quite prepared for this! But I do think I have finished the shopping. I just need to lay out the girls presents and check them all. They are getting a trampoline from Santa, but it is the little things for the sack.
Carly and Maddy had their dance concert last Friday night, I was so proud of them both, they got up on the stage and really did well.
Last Tuesday, I was looking after my best friends daughter Joey,who is 21 months old, but I had to go to buy the ribbon for the kits , so another friend of ours looked after her for a few hours. Now Joey can be quite active, but when I went to pick her up, I rang the door bell and all I could here was a child screaming, I just thought one of Anna's boys had hurt them self. Then, still at the door I hear Anna saying "oh my god", then she answers the door with Joey in her arms crying. Anna is looking very distressed and then tells me that Joey wanted to play outside, but she hold told her not now Michelle is coming to pick you up. But Joey had other things in mind and had ran straight to the sliding door and right into it and broken it! But amazingly enough she had not cut her head, she was a bit out of it though. The door did previously have a crack in it though, but now it was completely broken! I just thought OMG, especially when it is not your child but someone else's. I had no idea what to do, so I put ice on it and did not put her down for her sleep that day, I was to worried that she might have some after effect. How lucky was she though? So the I had to tell her mum what had happened. But things worked out fine, George was really good about it and joey was fine! So that was a day in itself!
Thanks for stopping by.

Gallery Online




Our December Gallery is now online. The Design Team have done a marvellous job and all their work is beautiful!


I just had to share my lovely day I shared with Carly and Maddy, after dancing I decided to take them to see Santa! So off we went to Myer at Chadstone, and what a lovely Santa he was, such patience. Carly was straight to him, telling him that she wanted a trampoline, he was so good, he told her that because he was such a busy man she would have to ask her Daddy to help set it up! Maddy was a bit scared at first and decided to hide behind her hands. But after a lot of Santa's patience she came around and asked him if she was going to receive a little Teddy of him like she did last year. Now I think that is amazing, she was 3 in June so she actually remembers last year when she was on 2 1/2! After a few photo's we got this good one.

Sneak Peaks Update!

We have a small problem in getting our Peaks uploaded to the Gallery, but I have been assured that this should all be fixed tomorrow! So hopefully all will be uploaded then.
Our Lucky November subscriber is Adele Smith who won the Melissa Francis Shadow Box. One of our December Subscribers has the chance to win a Monthly Kit Opening Collection of their choice.
Christmas seems to be creeping up very quickly at the moment. Christmas cards have been arriving in the mail. It makes me feel so bad, because I have not even made an attempt to start! Atleast the Christmas tree is up, but not all the shopping is complete and I haven't even started to wrap the presents. I always find it hard to buy for my 8 year old God Son, probably because I only have girls and they are also younger, will hopefully get to the shops tomorrow to get some more shopping done.
Thanks for dropping by.
