IT'S BEEN A WHILE
It has been quite a few weeks since I have done anything creative. With the new addition to the family (Amy's baby - Riley) there hasn't been much time for anything else. As always when there is a new baby in your family circle you just have to go and visit.
Not that I mind but I think I need some 'Me Time' now.
So that's what I decided to do for a couple of hours today. Something I wanted to do. After going to watch Lachlan and Chloe at swimming lessons this morning I came home, did the usual housework and then started on something new.
So here it is. A 30cm (12inch) square creation for little Miss Chloe. I am sure she will love it ~ anything glittery and sequinned is just her thing. Of course it has to be pink.
YEH ~ THE POSTMAN CAME AGAINDon't you love how Natasha wraps her parcels. It feels like it is your Birthday all over again.
Gorgeous little bunches of flowers ~ so sweet.
Tell me another shop that wraps their parcels like that.
I so love the things she sells in her shop.
Yeh some lovely Christmas decorations.
Don't you just love the Angel and the gorgeous Doves and Stars.Natasha even sent that lovely card congratulating us on Riley's arrival. The card is a print taken from one of Natasha's original paintings. Thank you Natasha!
Well I am off to bed now as tomorrow we are off to see the In-laws. A 2 and 1/2 hour drive. Amy and Ryan are also going there to introduce Riley to his Great Grandparents. They will love him!!

I too, am also embracing "pink". growing up it was more purples, blues and indian colors. I know realize, that by surrounding my self with the whimisical pretty things I make, make me "feel" pretty.
Gorgeous Chloe picture and gorgeous goodies from Natasha - xo
Hi Alison,
Love the princess pink collage you did for Chloe. You're still so giving, your 'me' time was to create something for someone else. Glad you liked your goodies, I thought little flower bunches on the wrapping would be cute this time round!
Hope the drive wasn't too long today, bet your in-laws were so excited to meet Riley!!!
Hi Alison, gorgeous items from Natasha as always! Your in-laws will be delighted to meet Riley :) Jenn and Jacqui
Alison, the Princes picture for Chloe is beautiful. I'm with her and love pink anything.

Hi Alison, Just wanted to say thanks for popping by our Blog on Cup Day and always, we love to hear fom you! Moving day is getting closer, just waiting for hubby (lol, always waiting for hubby) to confim his work schedule but will be either end of Nov or 15th December. Might miss out on all the Christmas decs this year and just have a mini tree, if I wil be able to find them in all these cartons lol Blue Moon is a fave of mine as well, that scent, wow! Jacqui first choice is a BA at Melb Uni, but she's very keen of photography, we'll just have to wait and see how she goes, it's a nervous time for them all. Have a great day Alison :) Jenn
