Sorry for lack of posting lately!!!

G'day bloggers,

So I think that I told you in my last post that my gorgeous DD 4mths threw up on my laptop keyboard, causing several of the keys not to work, unfortunately ones that get used A LOT!!! So it has just been to frustrating for me to do any typing, hence no blogging and very little blurfing!!! So finally today I took it in to my dads shop (he owns a computing store) and he has ordered me a replacement and lent me a usb keyboard in the meantime! So here I am back again!


We went out to Yum Cha with family friends last weekend to celebrate my and another friends birthdays. Hers is 13 July and Mine 18 July, so we generally have it in between, but this year we had it early for both of us! We had recently decided that we would only give home made gifts for presents, but I think that this was supposed to be just for Christmas and I forgot, so I made her a card for herself and 4 cards to give away. I had recently found this gorgeous card on Leonie Hegarty's fabulous blog. I spend a lot of time perusing Leonie's blog and finding great ideas! Generally I make substantial changes to cards that I CASE, but I loved this card so much and loved the colours that I did a straight CASE except for the sentiment. Thanks Leonie, such a simple and very effective card! Sorry for the dodgy photography, but I forgot to photograph them at home before we went to Yum Cha, so had to use DM's camera.







 And this is the card that I made for her. I was sooooooooo excited recently to be able to earn the Level 2 Hostess Set Asian Artistry and came up with the following card. This was done using Perfect Plum and Old Olive Markers direct to stamp.



And finally here is a pic of my DD at our yum cha lunch!!! I think she is beautiful!!




I did actually write this post a week ago, but then lost all the pics, so had to find them again, so there will be another post tomorrow! And yes, I finally have my keyboard replaced!!! So excited!!!

Thanks for popping by!!!
