OCTOBER HANDMADE EXPO - a bit late - sorry!

Hi Blogettes,

Again, going through my photo's before holidays and realise how slack I have been with posting photo's taken at the October Handmade Expo.... so here are a couple. We are lucky enough to have a couple of fabulous singers on board that do a wonderful job in keeping us not only entertained but the atmosphere is so much better with them (thank you guys if you are reading this)!

I will try and be a bit more forthcoming next month at the November Expo... Make sure you put it in your diary to start your Christmas Shopping, Saturday 21st November from 8am to 2pm at the Ipswich Turf Club (same time, same place)!!

See you all then.

LOOK WHAT I WON!

I was just going through my photo's on my camera before I go on hols tomorrow and I soooo forgot to post this after the last Handmade Expo in October. When the world record of the "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" was being held I bought a couple of raffle tickets to win a hamper and my name was the first to be drawn out to win one..

I couldn't believe my luck.. In my hamper I had won a night away at the Marriott in Brisbane, movie tickets, fudge, chocolates, bottle of wine which was in a wrought iron holder with candles and a few other bits and pieces.... I very rarely win anything so was very excited.. Needless to say though all the chocolate and fudge has gone!!!! LOL

Just thought I would share... you have to be in it to win it!

WE ARE GOING ON.... SUMMER HOLIDAYS!

No more work for me to do!!!! I have actually been lucky enough to start my holidays from today but will be heading off on Saturday to go on a 2 week family holiday to NOOSA.... here are some photo's of where we will be staying.

Both my husband "Dan" and I work full-time and with 2 little kidlettes we look forward to this time of year.... every year! This year we have invited my wonderful Mum and Dad to come for a couple of days and also Dan's parents for a couple of days as well...

I have been taking notice of the weather forecast and so far it looks like we will be in luck with 30 odd degree weather... so definitely swimming weather (and fishing too of course)!

While we are away Dan and I will also celebrate our 8 year wedding anniversary on 3 November, so what a beautiful place to be to celebrate!

I will miss the blog, so if you don't hear from me, this is why... I do get internet on my I-Phone so if I start to get withdrawals then at least I can switch on while I am sipping Brown Brothers Mascarto by the pool as the sunsets... ooops... sorry!

Take care everyone...

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

I have been thinking about starting my Christmas Shopping... Because I have taken the Handmade Pledge I am going to try and keep ALL prezzies handmade this year! Last year I was about 50% handmade, 50% shops... This year I am going to try and do it... 100%.

Have you started Christmas Shopping yet? Do you try and keep everything handmade or is it too hard? Just interested to see where people are at!

I am going to start my online shopping very soon but also have Handmade Heaven, 2 Handmade Expo's and a Brisstyle Market yet, so I am sure I will have a lot to choose from.
