Lorelle's Layout

Thanks to Lorelle for posting this photo of my booth at the Home and Leisure Expo at Maryborough on her blog. I think she did a great job of the page.

Thomas Robert

Congratulations to Sarah on the arrival of Thomas Robert who was born on the 1-12-08 weighing 3.6kg (7lb 15oz) and measuring 51cm long. He had the cord around his neck so he was a little blue but some oxygen seemed to take care of that.

I know you can't stop time but it seems like last year Sarah was our cute little flower girl and now she's a mum.

New Chipboard

For the last couple of weeks I've been trying to reorganise my stockroom and do a stocktake so I can mark down some products and get some new stock in. It's slow going especially in the heat but I have received some cute new chipboard so thought I would give you a peek.

Three new tinned notecards have arrived as well. These make such good presents with 12 cards (4 designs and the inside has the design watermarked on it) and a beautiful printed envelope in each tin. When I give these as a gift I add 12 stamps and a pretty pen so it's ready to go.

Jan's Cards

I thought I would show you a few cards made by a lovely lady called Jan. She has bought stamps from my website a few times and we've been emailing backwards and forwards so I was really interested in how she had used them.

Jan's cards have been added to the gallery at Lorna Blue Studio and if you've bought some products off me I'd love to see what you've done with them and perhaps add them to my site.

A matter of trifle

As I mentioned in the previous post I had a fantastic time catching up with my family. Of course at Christmas time food becomes all important and we had quite an array of goodies.

We had approx 20 sitting down for lunch and Heather said she would make the trifle. Isn't that the most scrumptious thing you've seen and believe me the people who got the bottom serves found out why it's called wine trifle.

The other photo is of our family, my brother, two sisters and Dad. Mum passed away 6 years ago and I have to admit at times like these when we're all together it's sort of bittersweet because we all miss her so much.

Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas, I know we did. We went down to Forster for Christmas and had a wonderful time catching up with Dad and the rest of my family.

More importantly Happy 16th Birthday to our nephews Levi and Rory for last Sunday. Wow time flies and kids grow up. I have to go up on my tip toes now (and I'm not short) to give them a hug.

In the photo we have Tania, Levi, Ben, Rory, Shari and Dad. The flash caught Shari's eye in one of them so I thought I would post both.
