Happy Customer

I had a customer make my year today!!!!

A few weeks ago a lovely lady purchased my rocket ship design on invites and posters for her daughter's 1st birthday.  I helped her create the poster's especially for the party and while emailing each other I said I'd love to see photo's of Riley's big 1st birthday party.

So I received the email today which had attached photo's of the absolutely adorable little Riley beaming next to her special 1st birthday Rocket Poster that I designed!! .... but not only that... there were also photo's of the very special birthday cake that Riley's Mum had specially made for her birthday using my design. 

I was thrilled!!

I'll be forwarding this to zazzle for their Foto Friday blog comp where Riley's Mum will win $5 to spend at zazzle. 

If anyone buys from me again and takes pictures please send them to me... I'll be so happy to post them here on my blog!

Something Silly

I found this photo yesterday while cleaning up my files in readiness to move to my gorgeous new computer that my wonderful man bought for me. 

 It's a close up photo I took of a tiny bit of stuff growing on the local school playground.

Most of my photo's I just quickly glanced at and moved on... but not this one.... this one intrigued me!  

I thought it looked quite other worldly...

what do you think? ;)

An Adventure with Kane and Paws.

We had a houseguest for a week lately... his name was Paws.

He came from Bialla...a wonderful place where Kane goes once a week to help with his Speech & social development. Kane loved Paws... so much so that he cried when he had to return him to be sent to visit with another child. He still even mentions him from time to time.  Funny how he can have a teddy bear from birth and it just sits on the shelf with no personality or attachment... but give a sense of importance to a bear, especially through people that aren't family ... and it's a whole other story.

It's a great idea... if you're interested... just ask a friend or teacher to ask your your son or daughter to mind their teddy bear or doll for a week. Then you could say you're going to do a story about their adventures and it will turn into a great adventure for you both... as well as an invaluable learning tool for your child as well.

Here's the story Kane and I created together for him to talk about to the Bialla group.  And I was very proud of him when he got up confidently in front of a group of about 15 adults and kids... just so excited to tell of his adventures with Paws. 

I have to thank Bialla for introducing such a wonderful activity.

My Letter to the Tooth Fairy

I wrote this when I was 8 years old. I chuckled the first time I re-read it as an adult.

I can't wait to read what my boy writes around the same age!

I love my Mum for keeping this!
