Finally, after


4 delightful (?) cherubs,
19 years of Santa visits,
1000’s of tooth fairy visits,

I can say....
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS, IS MY TWO FRONT TEETH


This is my daughter, P who is 7yrs old - and the teeth haven't even started to grow back in!

She did however, get nail polish for Christmas from one of her brothers, see...












...she painted my toes for me - one foot in blue, the other foot in purple - only because she wanted to alternise (yes, that is a word - a combination of compromise and alternate, both of what we did!) Didn't she do a lovely, professional job of painting, lol :)
I figure I may have to leave them on for a few more days, before I remove the colours and paint my tootsies in a more becoming colour, suitable for a mum my age!

I made a crafting new year resolution - in 2011, I WILL DO SOMETHING CREATIVE FOR ME EVERY WEEKEND - AND MAKE AT LEAST 2x CHRISTMAS CARDS EVERY MONTH!

My new craft room is almost done - it is bigger, has more light, is more organised...so I am half there...so stay tuned for some exciting projects I will be posting.

Until next time,
toodles!

Last night, it was the end of year crop for the group I usually go at Megans - Better Scrapbooking. So, it was decided, after giving me only 2 days notice, that we would do a gift share between the group.
2 days! That's all the notice I got - Thursday,Megan sent me a email, and Thursday I was at home with a sick child, and NO chance of getting out. So I had to think.

I re-discovered these little gift bags I had purchased a couple of years ago:

 






Plain white gift bags that I managed to score for only 50c each (ladies, you are worth every penny of that!)
I covered one side in some Christmas paper, although I did have to redo one as I stuck the paper upside down! and used my new SU ornament punch and made some little gift tags - that was easy, I just folded the paper in half, and punched the shape with the paper slightly lower than the fold (does that make sense?)....



....and threaded some gold thread through a small punched hole for attaching to the bag.


I went out on Friday night to the mall and got some handcream, a emery board, a facecloth, and some candy canes - it's not Christmas unless you have a candy cane!  :)
I wrapped some Jingle Bell ribbon around the candy cane...













..and popped it all in the bags...



























....6x bags for 6x lovely, creative ladies.


Anyway, until next time

Well, I'll just sit in my little corner of the world and have a pity party for myself...only 1x person commented on my cards!

Thank you Mandy   :)

I am going to send you my blog candy - please email me your details, and I will send it on its way.

I do apologise for not doing this sooner - I have been sick and haven't been on the computer for awhile!
