More news

So like I said last week, my sister Felicity is pregnant and will be finally making Tassy a cousin in February. Well it turns out Dave's sister Bubby will ALSO be making Tassy a cousin a few weeks later! So Tassy has been waiting 5½ years to finally become a cousin TWICE within a few weeks! What are the odds. How cool. :) So exciting.

My sister Charlotte was here last weekend to do a Stampin Up! party for me. She has recently become a demonstrator. I'm an almost-virgin hostess. I've only ever hosted a party once before and that was when my sister Alicia was a nutrimetics consultant. But it was lots of fun! Thanks to Lea, Moira, Tracey, Steph and Pam for coming. :) Tassy had been counting down the sleeps to the party, she was SO excited. I got busy cooking fudge, lamingtons, zucchini (slice) muffins and scones. I love an excuse to make yummy snacks. :) Charlotte did a fantastic job and the girls who had been to Stampin Up! parties before said it was SO much better than the other parties (and I agree)! And Charlotte spent most of the next day with us scrapbooking, while I madly used as many of her products as I could before she headed back to Sydney. Our supplies arrived today so I'm keen to have a play!

For want of something to share, lol, this is a mini mini layout I did for Mardi's birthday, with a bunch of other girls each doing the same. Don't be offended that I hid my phone number and address. It's not because of you - it's those other crazies out there!

Oooh, love stampin' up products - good luck to Charlotte - I'm sure she'll do fantastically. I was scared of cutting the stamps out too, but let me say the stampin' up scissors are a must! My hands were killing me after finishing my first set of stamps, but their scissors made the job so much easier. Congrats on becoming an Aunty x 2!
