Where has the year gone...

Well I was hoping to have a lot of crafting done, and I kind of have but not as much as I wanted to.
so an update
Otis has been away alot for work, and work for me has been extremely busy.
I've been to two bead classes with Bronwyn.
I was able to learn and complete a twisted wire necklace & multi strand necklace.
I had so much fun.

I've also been to two busy bee classes. I really enjoy these classes.
The first one was man cards and the 2nd one was two christmas cards.
Even though these classes are themed I like that they can easy be changed to fit theme you want.

My kit arrived

Yeah my kit arrived today (18th August).
It felt like Christmas has arrived.
I was at home sick, so I spent the day in bed and when I had the energy I started putting the stamps together.
Now just have to start creating, so stay tuned for mt new creations

I've become a demostrator...

Yes thats right I've taken the plunge and become a stampin up demostrator and man oh man am I excited.
They have so many lovely stamps, papers, colours etc.
I am hoping that I will get more crafting done and blog more regularly with my new creations.
Thanks to Julie for all your help.
Now I have to sit an wait for the starter kit to arrive.

Family together as we remember

Sunday 3rd August 2007 my Grandad (my mum's dad) left us to be with my Nana.
Yes a year today my Grandad passed away.
It was really nice most of mums side of the family came together in Foxton on Saturday.
We all met at the cemetery and paid our respects and remembered. We did not end up staying long as there as it started to get very cold and rain.
We all went to the Foxton RSA and had a lovely dinner.
For me it's really nice to get together with the family and catch up.
So today even though it was a sad weekend, it was also good.

Life never lasts forever so it make me remember that family are important and to treasure them.
