Hellooo...

Hi there, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all... better late than never, hey??

I do apologise for the lack of blogging of late. We are madly enjoying our holiday time, the hubby still has another week and a bit off, and the kiddles another 3 weeks, so things will still be pretty quiet for a little bit longer yet:)

I stole a snippet of time today to have a cruise around the web, which has really taken a back seat at the moment, and put together a quick treasury on Etsy. I used to love making these, but the time constraints of life just sometimes gets in the way. I am rather obsessed with paper planes lately, I am not sure why, I spotted some fabulous finds on Etsy to share with you...

Hello there blog friends. I have a little share today of a new range of cards I have made with some floaty balloons on them.

I love driving into the city and seeing hot air balloons (I don't see them often, but just can't look away when I do see one).

I am way too much of a fraidy cat to ever actually go in one myself, but find them so lovely and majestic, gently bouncing along in the sky.

If you do fancy hot air balloons yourself and think that you might need some sweet cards to make your gifts look pretty, you can find them over at my Down That Little Lane Store:)

Have a lovely day wherever it takes you... perhaps it will be up, up ... and away... weeeeeee!

 

{holidays}

Hi there all. I can't believe that we are 7 days into December and I am yet to do a post this month! The time is flying by. It's a busy time for everyone, and we are no exception with the girls' birthday a week away, plus all the Christmas fun thrown in.

Our holidays have started off just nicely, with a little shopping, some fun visitors, and today, a little rain, which is lovely after a bit of a dry spell... perfect to stay home and do a spot of baking...

...using our most favourite recipe for the most scrumdiddlyumptious gingerbread...

...from my most favourite book in all the land.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, la la la, sissy can have the left and I'll take the right, la la la...

Our baking inspired me to make some gingerbread cards for Christmas...

Enjoy the rest of your week, thanks for stopping by:)

{thankyou}

Hi there all. It's an exciting and a little sad day today, as today marks the last day of school for my little cherubs. They have had a fabulous year in grade one and are very sad indeed to be saying goodbye to their lovely teacher, who I am sure they will crash tackle for a cuddle next year every time they see her in the playground;) At the same time, we are all excited about almost 8 weeks of sleep in's and Christmas holiday fun for us all.

I can say blogging will be a little patchy with the kiddles home.. but it has been patchy just about all year... so I suppose there is no need to let you know that;)

Before I go to finish off those last-minute little jobs before the holidays officially kick off, I wanted to share a quick link to a great blog about all things crafty. I did get a lovely email from Laura (aka Moags) to let me know that some of my Christmas cards were featured over at her blog Creativity Unmasked last Saturday in her {Six for Saturday} post...

... Thankyou Laura! When you have a little time, be sure to pop on over. Laura's blog showcases lots of beautiful handmade goodies, and is full of inspiration... you may even get some Christmas ideas;) 

Enjoy the rest of your week, thanks for stopping by.

12 years ago today, back in the day before digital camera's and wotnot, I married the man of my dreams.

He is the most awesome husband, and the best daddy to our munchkins and I love him dearly. Happy Anniversary honey.
