MIDWINTER CHRISTMAS PARTY

We had a midwinter christmas get together at work, so I made an envelope with a chocolate in for everyone. We had a great night too.

SILLY DOG

Recently our dog Ayla went to play with her doggie friend Astro at his house. Maybe she wanted to get inside the house or followed the cat who knows but when I picked her up she had the cat door stuck on her head! As it took two of us to get it off I had to take her home to get Rob to help remove it.

Thank goodness we got it off without having to cut it. Then we humbly went back and return it to it's rightful place, the house.

SECRET SISTER

My sister Chantell an SU demonstrator in Australia started a secret sister with New Zealand demonstrators. It's so exciting getting card swaps. This is what my secret sister has sent me, aren't they beautiful.

This is made with an envelope, it opens up with a pocket inside.

I just love butterflies, and I love this Good Friend set.

THANKS SECRET SISTER

SKIING HOLIDAY

Rob and I have just spent a week in Tongariro National Park skiing on Mt Ruapehu.

This is sitting on the Whakapapa ski field looking over to Mt Ngauruhoe. You can see the cloud we're above. It was very beautiful. We could also see the mountain on the west coast Mt Egmont.
Here I am celebrating getting down the hill without falling over. I'm not a very good skier in poor visibility which unfortunately most of the time during our holiday. This day was quite nice. By the end of most days I hurt everywhere and the stairs up to our room seemed 10 times higher. Thank goodness for the hot spa!
Rob's a great skier, he went up to some of the scary slopes for a little bit of fun.

Our last day was just awesome. We managed to get to some new snow up the top of the mountain.

GOOD FRIENDS CLASS

The Good Friends stamp set is very versatile. We enjoyed making two different cards in this class.

I always love to add a little glitter.

I'm a Stampin' Up demonstrator!

I'm very excited to be a new Stampin' Up Demonstrator. I'm now giving classes once a fortnight and all are welcome. For more details on classes, workshops and SU products contact me at nadinep@xtra.co.nz. Lets get together and have fun doing what we love!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHANTELL

My sister Chantell turned 40 this year. While she was in New Zealand we organized a party for her.

This is the card I made her.

The party wasn't a total surprise but she didn't know quite what was going to happen. We had a lovely lunch with friends and family.
