I'm Moving House

Well, not really - but I'm moving my blog - which kind of feels like moving house.

So from now on you can find me HERE

To those of you who have subscribed for updates to Sweet Nothings & Simple Somethings, may I ask you very nicely to please re-subscribe to my new blog - I promise to make it worth your while and I think you'll really like the funky new style over at Wordpress.

Hope to see you there :)

Home at last

Well all good things come to an end (or so they say) and our holiday was the best we've ever had but now it's back to earth with a bang. Bianca & Scott want to save up and come with us to Brisbane next year......I think it was our visit to Movie World that tipped the scales - even if they do have to go on holidays with Mum & Dad...lol

Today I had the urge to get stamping again but the old brain is still in holiday mode so I ended up CASEing a card directly from page 73 of the Stampin' Up! Ideas Book & Catalogue just to get the creative juices flowing again. This card uses the Bodacious Bouquet stamp set which was waiting here for me when I got home from holidays......it was one of the six freebies I earned by achieving my Stampin' Start goal. For more info about Stampin' Start, or to purchase Stampin' Up! products, or to host your own Stampin' Up! workshop, just email me here

Ciao for now !!

Hello From Surfers Paradise

This place is amazing.......I've never seen so many highrise apartments in my life - I feel like a country bumpkin ... lol .... Brad's snoozing in our hotel room so now's the perfect time to update my blog.
For those of you who've asked, Convention was an absolute blast. Not only did we learn so much about how to be a successful Stampin' Up! demonstrator - we got to STAMP too...yay!! We also got to swap cards with eachother, and there are some amazingly talented cardmakers in Australia - many of them in the Elite Stampers. But the best thing about convention was meeting my online friends for the first time....I loved each and every one of you and will be looking forward to catching up again in Brisbane 2008..........actually, we drove past the Brisbane convention center today and I got all excited to think we will all be there for the next Stampin' Up! Convention.
AND.....lucky me, I have new Stampin' Up! goodies waiting for me at home - what better way to overcome end of holiday blues than new stampin' stuff :)
Ok, off to check out Sea World - and Movie World tomorrow - I think we'll need to go home for a rest.....lol :)

Convention Here I Come !!

I'm so excited.........Stampin' Up!s first ever Australian Convention starts on Friday May 4th in Sydney......AND I'M GOING !!! Well, I'm dragging poor Brad along with me but seeing as it's our 22nd wedding anniversary on the 4th I didn't want to leave him out - so we're making a holiday of it. 3 weeks of "'just us'" time - wooohoooo

Brad's taking the laptop along so I should be able to get online to check emails and update this blog from time to time, hopefully with lots of exciting news and ideas from convention.

So stay in touch, I can still place orders for you if you need anything and answer emails if you have questions about the Stampin' Up! special for May......Join Stampin' Up! for $299 (normally $324) Awesome....

We get home on May 19th so be good while I'm away and
HAPPY STAMPING :)
