Card-Making Spree!

Once a regular crafter, I rarely make the time for such things nowadays. What with school {work}, music, and other commitments, I usually can't justify some of my old hobbies.

On December 25th though, I decided to throw away all justifications and have a relaxing day of card-making (after I'd done some tidying and things :P) I produced 16 cards and two bookmarks (not counting the mess!!). The little ones joined me from time to time during the day, while Mum worked on sorting the clothes boxes. It was quite a nice way to spend the day, and afterwards I was pleased with my efforts. :)

Mum's birthday

Hey Everyone,

Yes, we're back!! I'll catrch up on a few posts, then post about our holliday.

On November 21st, Mum turned 40.

I made roast chicken, with vegies for dinner, and someone (I can't remember who!!) made Apple? Crumble for dessert.
Oh, and I made a Chocolate Mud Cake as a birthday cake, only the oven was on grill, instead of bake, so only the top was cooked, but I iced it, and put candles on it and we sung 'Happy Birthday,' then we ate it with dessert.

Here are some photo's of Mum recieving her pressents.

And her gifts:

Bryce gave her an 'I promise to give you a cellphone lanyard' note,

Diana gave a bar of 'dream' chocolate,

Danielle gave a packet of hankies,

Monique gave a flannel,

Jarrod gave a note promising a candle from Dad's work,

Monique and i gave a 'Chocolate gift basket,' which included a mug, Jarrah 'extreme choc' drinking chocolate, Roses chocolates, plate of her favourite 'Vanilla Choc Chip' biscuits, and a packet of Marshmellows;

Dad gave her a new duvet cover.

I'll get on with the next post now!

Cya
