Hi everyone, just a quick announcement after a couple of weeks of online chats and forms and more emails and phone calls....I AM A STAMPIN' UP DEMONSTRATOR.

UStamp Christmas Gift Bag

Yes I got my mojo back as I think this Christmas Wine Gift Bag is alot better than my project from yesterday. It was so easy to make just cover a plain brown paper bag with handles. It looks great with a couple bottles of Shaw and Smith wines from Balhannah in the Adelaide Hills.

UStamp Christmas Favours

I made this yesterday as part of the UStamp projects, unfortunately I was not really in the creating mood it must be this hot weather we are having in South Australia at the moment, but I will show you anyway that I have been up to something. It's another hot one in Woodside again today, but I think I will be creating something this afternoon as well as doing the ironing and getting organised for my trip to Queensland in 8 days time.

UStamp Christmas Block / Box

I started on my Christmas cards today, I will take a photo soon to show you a few, I think there might be about 10 completed which is a start.

I also completed a UStamp project which were blocks that spelt out MERRY but as Australia does not have the dies, the very kind Anett sent me a template which I could use. I have made it a box as it would be more useful for me and I ended up only making one as it was alot small than I thought it would be.

Breast Cancer Awareness

I just received this as an email and as I have been raising money for breast cancer research I needed to show you all too. It's not too late to support Kathryn's Girls Afternoon, you have missed the event :-( but you can make a donation on my personal page.

UStamp Mini Album

Finally I have had some time to stamp, late this afternoon I completed my first Ustamp project I am a little behind as it started last Friday and there is one project posted each day. I have been busy with the Cancer Council Girls Afternoon and then on Tuesday I made four Christmas cards (but I can not show you these as someone might be watching) for a card evening for the girls at my church in late November but I had to plan what we are making so I could order the cardstock before I go away to Queensland in just over two week's time. I have the next four days off so hopefully I will get a few more completed.
