Back From Convention

Happy Mother's Day to all of you Mother's out there.

I had a great time again this year at convention and my Sister-in-law (also a demo) came along with me this year. We had a ball, well I know that I did. Caught up with friends I met last year and made new friends this year.

My Sister-in-law and I were lucky enough to get a photo with Shellie, I will post these photo's later.

Well I'm off now to spend time with my family.

I'm Back Again

Sorry about no postings this month but I was hoping that this month was going to be different from last month, I did not count on getting a bad eye infection and then getting behind doing my swaps for Convention next week.

Now that everything is back to normal I am hoping that my postings will follow suit, so please come and check them out.

Graduation Card

When I saw the card that my son received from his Aunt for his Graduation, last year, it look a bit familiar. His Aunt, Debbie M, did this card for our first Team Challenge this year. The stamp that she used, it didn't even register with me. I think that I must have seen it on my blond day. lol.

As usual my photo does not do it justice.

One of my customers is a Scout Leader and for the last 2 years I have helped her make the Christmas gifts for her Scouts and Leaders in her Troop.

Now that she has handed out the gifts (last Friday) I am able to post what she made. I had to keep it a seceret because one of the Scout Mother's checks out my blog.

For the receipe for the gifts please contact me.

A Proud Mother

Well today my DS graduated for High School today. No more school an end to an era. He starts full time job in a weeks time. Here are some photo's of him dressed ready for his Formal, which he had this week, and his Graduation today. The graduation photo's is not that good but will put a better one on when I have a chance.

The first two (2) photo's were taken at his Grandmother's place, the third one (1) was taken at home and the last one (1) was taken at the school hall (not the best photo, hopefully my DH photo might be better).

To my DS Aunts who check out my blog and who have not yet seen these photo's, next time we get together up we will have these photo's and more for you to look at but here is a taste.
