And it's another year....


Wellllllllll......this year has definitely had some ups and downs....with my income being the only reliable one since buying the house. Let 2015 be more stable...

These precious bundles are now turning ONE!!!!!!! Tomorrow!!! What a joy they are, Nanny's Girls sure do bring the fun back. I've been working 4 days a week and having them on a Wednesday so Ash can focus on studies. Photoshoots have been a test of skills....very rare to get them both looking in the same direction, let alone both smiling. These were the best of Xmas. So there is always compromise...lol


 Megg graduated from Year 6 and is now off to high school. That time has really flown. Before I know it she will be finished and working.
 Xmas card front and inside. I 3D mounted the pennant on the front for some depth, not so easy to see in the photo. Very simple, but I was pleased.
 I made the earrings and ensemble below for my Secret Santa recipient. The photo's really don't do any of it justice. Colours are purples but have the arora borealis finish, so looks really pretty.

 My recipient commented on a necklace I had on one day, so I've taken inspiration from it and created hers from a semi-created piece from the shops. Boxed up pretty.
 Used Herbert to create the milk carton cottages...filled them with chocolates for my closest work collegues. Pretty darn cute too.
Got the shelving unit for Xmas from the Big Boy, will redo my scraproom to have a stand up work station/desk (stool option). Worked out the 8 cube Kallax (old Expedit Ikea design) with legs and an extended work bench will be ideal. Saving $$, let's hope it stays on sale.
 Designed the future layout for my scraproom. Kallax cubes on the right with noticeboard and wall shelving for extra storage. Shelving Unit above on the wall with more shelving above. Have added two sets of the drawer inserts for the Kallax to my wish list.
Better mention the others......The Goob is continuing with his school based apprenticeship as a carpenter and the Big Boy is still living at home.....Ash and Mitch got engaged on Boxing Day....budget conscious jewellry sales....Wedding is set for late 2016.
