WOW this post has been a long time coming, have only managed to quickly pop on and do advertising posts really?!  And I have a few things to get through, 2 young ones are in bed, eldest is reading Harry Potter before bed, as for one she wants to and second she is banned from the tv, uhhhh to be a mum hey, lol!  I remember when I would get banned from the tv and thought the world was coming to an end!  WELL hello it was! haha…..

So firstly of all the winner of the “meant to be”24 hour candy!?  Before I do thank you to all those that left amazing compliments on my cards.  I twas fun making something without an image but I did miss them!  ………………Drum Roll…………

Robyn A says:

Great cards, love the font and big words. Thanks for the chance to win another great stamp.

BIG CONGRTUALTIONS hun.  Email me kelliewinnell@yahoo.com.au and I’ll pop it in the mail asap!

So the reason I have the best DT…. Ok a few things have not gone my way and on Friday I got something in the morning that was just the icing on the cake and I was feeling very low and down.  That night I was leaving to go away for the weekend with Kristy but before I did look what arrived on my door step…..

HOW amazing are they! I was so shocked and grining from ear to ear like a big goof that is what I looked like driving all the way to Kristy’s.  I even almost cried!  Mind you the card will have the good ol town talking, with something like ….. We love ya boss lady, love the Pink Ladies, hmmmm whats that Kellie up to, lol!  I tell you what but flowers really do fix all, well unless your alergic then that’s just not going to work really, hehe!  THANK YOU once again Debbie, Kristy, Fran, Debra, Jodie and Kylie, they are still looking amazing!

Lately I have been working a lot on building my site, having Heidi go to school next year and *wipes a tear, they grow so fast* Chloe will be going to kindergarten 2 days a week, I want to use it as my income and maybe start doing card making classes again?!  Off the beaten track there, I can say that we have MORE exciting things happening at Tickled Pink Stamps that will be in May!

While doing all this my mojo has been HUGELY MIA?!  I have no idea what is going on but it’s not only me that it’s happened to and I am wondering if they all ran off together, over worked and feeling used and abused, lol….  Long hours without rest etc haha!?  It’s with this and because of this that I have had to do something I really didn’t want to….  I have stepped down from The Pink Elephant   Was only a short time but I truly loved every moment of it!  The girls are amazing and Lori is one of the nicest, and most caring person I have come across and we still have email and blog land   AND I forgot to even show my card for the last weeks challenge!?

Yup a Swiss Pixie from the Kit over at All That Scraps, seriously full of cuteness.

You may had noticed recently to I have stepped down from Stampin for the Weekend, Little Musings and Stamp with Fun.  While I loved being apart of amazing teams and being amongst so many talented ladies.  I was finding my time and really my heart was not in it as much.  I was loving all the rushing and how busy I was but then I just got too busy and then it was more a chore than crafting for fun and I felt my work was going down hill.  I just wanted to thank all the girls once again for having me and allowing me to be part of amazing teams.

Also I am a tad even behind for the goals I set for The Pink Ladies…….ooops!  And while I don’t have this Kraftin’ Kimmie in stock it wont be long before I do and I just wanted to share her with you….

I took away the frog and added a crown as she looks like a spoilt princess to me hehe!

OK best get going and get a few things done before Cougar Town and then How I met Your Mother….. 2 great laughs in a ROW!

Thanks so much for stopping by and take care xx.
