Cards. Blog Party. RAK!

Just very quick post today ...

Phaedon attended his final Prep Transition on Friday and we received his class allocation. We are very happy that he got the same Prep teacher that is teaching Ellen now, and in the same classroom that Ellen has been in all year, so he'll be very familiar and comfortable. Furthermore, he is also in the same class as our friend's son, so that is even better! However, he is in the same class as the Principal's daughter.... hmmm.... I wonder if that is good or bad....

I made 2 Christmas cards using the Limited Edition Karen Day Designs Christmas Tree set.

Christmas Tree Shaker Card - trim out the centre of the tree, using a small plastic bag filled with some glass dew drops (you can use beads, sequins, glitter, etc.), attach to the inside cover.

Christmas Tree Sequin Card - fill dimensional magic in the centre of the tree, pour in sequins and spread out. Let dry.

Remember you can purchase these Christmas Trees directly from Scrapware, while helping St. Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal. Please read here for more info on how to order....

Santa Letter CHALLENGE with RAK!!!

If you went to my previous post, I wrote my first half-assed letter to Santa. Looking back, I could do a bit better but I did it just so I can get it out of my system. Why are mothers always looking after our children's wishlist, our nephew's wishlist, our niece's wishlist, our sister's or brother's wishlist... and no one ever talks about what WE REALLY WANT!? Why are we so reserved when it comes to telling people what we want? It's not a bad thing... is it? I mean, a lot of us did a wedding registry, didn't we? Rather than getting another bottle of unwanted perfume, or (god forbid!) apron, or another pair of slippers or bathrobe, or a handbag you won't use.... I'm posting a challenge for mum-bloggers out there.... write your own letter to Santa! Tell "him" what you want! Leave a comment here with a link to your blog showing me the letter. I will leave this challenge open for a week.  The best written letter will get a little pressie from me. You might be surprised.... if you asked nicely, you might just get what you want! :D So give up your inhibitions and start writing your letter! Pass this challenge around.. the more the merrier!

Have a great weekend!

p.s.... I'd like to get hold of a set of Stampin' Up Hostess Set called Riveting (which is retired). Used or new, doesn't matter. If anyone knows someone who has one set to get rid of, please let me know. Thanks!
