Yum yum food in my tum



What a pleasant surprise a courier van come to my door (& I was not at work) with a wee surprise for me from my upline Jacque

Inside was a BIG bag of peanuts beautifully (but simply) decorated with the True Friend stamp set. I'm almost too scared to open them as I'll probably eat them all on the spot so will wait for Pete in the weekend

So a big thank you Jacquelyn Pedersen - you made my day!

WCMD - Christmas quickie

Stampin Up and Peaceful Wishes
Dare I say it but it is less than 3 months to Christmas! I thought it would be cool to repeat a card that my upline Jacque demonstrated at a workshop at my house last year before I signed on the dotted line. I just love this set and think it's so appropriate for NZ with the pine boughs, cones etc & I love the sentiment - saying that this card uses the mistletoe stamp from the set which we don't have in NZ but still gorgeous. 2007's model was created in Cranberry Crisp (retired), now 2008 I have used Bravo Burgundy plus a bit of ribbon & actually prefer it.
