Sniffles and Handmade Sweetness

Hello there Blog Friends. We ventured out of the house today with very brave faces, ready for the first day of Grade 1. The girls were perfect... excited, happy, and oh so cute in their new little formal uniforms. I saved my tears for the journey home... and nobody would be any the wiser that this little Mummy was a crumbling mess ;) Having twins is so delightful, until the first day of school... when they are both gone together... I call it cold turkey... and the house just seems way too quiet... only another 12 years of this to get used to! Anyways, I didn't mean to be all depressing so I shall move on...

On another note, I have been blessed to have received some beautiful handmade gifts in the last few weeks. First up was a belated birthday pressy for the girls from my gorgeous sister in law... who is soon to have a Bub of her own... Thankyou Aunty Brooke and Uncle Will!


... it was amazing to see the girls instantly transformed into little mad dancing ants when they slipped on their new tutu's, beautifully made by Camille's Little Boutique.

Next up, Brooke also added in a special little treasure for me...


...from Annechovie. It looks so lovely on my craft room wall. Again... thankyou Brooke ♥

And finally, I was lucky enough to win this beautiful necklace from The Rusted Chain in Liz Kartchner's blog giveaway...Yippee!!


Well, that's it from me for now... I am off to drown my sorrows in another cup of coffee, then slipping off early to sit on the doorstep of the Grade 1 room....waiting...waiting...waiting...

Bye for now.

Glad the girls loved their tutu's - such little cuties they are! Glad you liked the print, I couldn't resist getting it for you.
