Firsty, I want to say thank you to everyone who gave birthday wishes.., honest...I had a little giggle cause most of you were early....Hehehe

Again I got spoilt with heaps of gift and more gifts a more gifts...Gotta love having a birthday near Christmas.....

Ok....So what's been happening beside's turning a year older...

I had spent a few hours a week in the last term of school  helping the children finish a tree that had been sitting bare all year.. WOW did they enjoy creating this MAGNIFICANT tree, and of course, I couldn't help myself by adding some extra creativity...  :-)

Here are some snap shots : ENJOY..........   :-)

 

 

 

 

 

This is Sarah and her friends....Sarah did alot of work on the tree...And this is a group hug with the school teachers that made all this happen......A huge thank-you......

Here are a few more Christmas presents I made for family and friends........

I was asked to paint this painting for a friend, which I believe is one of Kerryanne's design from Shabby Art Boutique...."No Worries", I said with a huge smile from one cheek to the other, "but...... Can you quilt my Eye Spy quilt", I made for my partner's son.....What a fantatic deal and an awsome friend....

 

 These are pencil cases I made for the kiddies who still go to school...LOL..

Lastly.....I had my first attempt at making a Gingerbread House....I think my creative side kicked in again...LOL...Have you ever seen one this big wth so much detail?....This was so much fun...ENJOY ....

 

 

 

 

 

I have to let you know....I have sacked Santa's little helper and recruited a knew one....What do you think?

I Got The Best Surprise Ever!!!!!!

Ok...Are you ready????

Being sort of new on the Blog Land I had found it hard to generated interest to my blog...
So, I thought I would visit some blogs and leave a little 'Please come visit my blog', in the hopes that they would..

One very , very, creative and inspiring blog I like to visit is Peg from 'Happy In Quilting'.
I pop over to Peg's blog often as I admire what she does and asked her if she would pop over to my blog of a lookie, and she did and she also became a follower of mine..   :-)
I was blown away with the excitement that Peg came and left a comment...

But wait, It gets better......

The kids went to their Father's on the weekend, so my spunky boyfriend Paul, took me shopping for my birthday...I was so spoilt with clothes and shoes and an oldie but a goodie, 'The Best Of Aerosmith' c.d....
We chill-laxed the whole weekend....Was PURRRRRFECT.....

After my fab weekend, it was time to get back to reality with the kids home....Their doing their thing while I took the time out to look at my blog in the hopes that I might have more comments....

OMGoodness, Who, What, When and how did this happen????????
Rubbing my Very Surprised eye's, was I seeing things?
There was 14 cmments left on my blog......????????

A rush of amazement went through my body...I almost fell of the chair. I turned to my son Maison and he was looking at me in a weird way...but I didn't care...I just wanted to dance... I was so happy....

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOO much Peg for putting up a post about me on your blog....Huge hugs to you..

And to all you beautiful bloggers who took the time out to come and look at my blog and put a comment.
' What wonderful and insiring words you all left.....I am so pleased to hear that their is interest in what I do.....
I would love to send each and everyone an email showing my appriciation, but unfortunately I haven't worked that one out yet....LOL
I will however try really, really hard to visit you all..'

Peg, again  

"It's begining to look alot like Christmas"

        

 

I love this time of the year...I not only recieve pressies, being my birthday on the 17th, but I also get to make Christmas pressies...

I've got the tree up.....The stocking are hanging ready for goodies and my beautiful Xmas quilt that I hang up and pin Xmas cards onto it...

I"ve appointed Santa's little helper to Nelly my best friend....Although she seems keen at times, she also tends to laze around on the job.....I know! ...It's the missing red nose....hehehe....

OK...Now that I've got things in order, I can show you a few of my handmade gifts I made or painted for family and friends.... ENJOY!!
