Spring is here at last!

We had a great trip to Australia to visit with my step son & family.. We had a long w/e with them it was great to catch up. I love to visit family but it always good to be home.
I walked around the garden this morning and saw that the passionfruit & Feijoa are flowering, the apple blossom is covering the tree, the early strawberries are turning red and the tomato plant has grown heaps nearly overnight! It was very restful out there with the birds singing and is hard to believe we are only 30 mins from Auckland CBD!
I have finally started my Christmas card projects and they are coming along nicely. It will be very satisfying to give them to family & friends. They will have a modern theme and I will post some examples soon.
Happy stamping

Hope you are keeping warm!

Here we are, just 11 weeks to Christmas and it feels like the middle of winter brrrrr. Hope you are keeping warm.
I am busy thinking about Christmas cards and I really must move onto making them instead of thinking about them !!! I am planning classes to make cards so if you would like to come along have a look at my website www.irene.stampingup.net for more info. Maybe you prefer to have a workshop in the comfort of your own home, well I am happy to travel so give me a call or send an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon =)

Happy Stamping

Stampin Up "Stamp Camp"

Well what a great weekend and still one more day to go. Eighteen of us got together and made cards, boxes & 3-D projects (thanks Jacque for all your hard work).
I have so many ideas for new classes. I cant wait to share them with you. Book a workshop and earn gorgeous hostess gifts or come to one of my classes.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
