Wow what a year!!!!

Cant believe it is the end of the year......

I have come a long way personally - still along way to go but I am proud of myself....

As for the charity (now Aspire To Thrive Childrens Charities) that is going in leaps and bounds - just mostly behind the scenes. We have a lot of things planned for the future :) We have a home base and more fabulous people helping us :) The support from crafting friends has been amazing - donations of cards and things have come from all over :)
Special thank you to Chris for everything!!!!!!!!

I have been going through my pics and seeing some things I made
and didnt blog so I might share them now :)

In March my friends Evi and Paul got married
and Evi asked if I could make her bouquet


Its the first time I had ever tried and I had the perfect idea in my head
- of course nothing comes out EXACTLY as you imagine -
so there were tantrums and self doubts.
My sis in law Tami helped me realise it was perfect as it was :)

I also attempted some more drawings for the Aspire To Thrive charity shop
(Formerly Incy Wincy Designs)
I am the worst under pressure and didnt manage too much
( I destroyed tons of attempts)
but have a collection of 4 bears coming out Jan 17 2011 :)
I am hoping to add a shop page to my blog here and then if any of you
are interested in buying then the link goes straight there....



I also was chosen as a product tester for the STABILO point 88.

http://www.stabilopoint88.com.au/

So I have done my reports with that :)
Well worth buying if you have them at a shop near you :)

With some of the cards I have ben making lately I have been using some
fabulous sentiments from the delightful
Paulette of Create with TLC
and she sent me this badge :)

I am honoured to share this on my blog :)


There are lots of things I would like to do but fear the outcome - I have some things I have designed that Id like to try and make and sell - so one of my missions in 2011 is to try and do it...

I also intend to be more organised and do more blog updates for you all :)

So to those who still come by and read my little blog I say thank you and Happy New Year :)

Hugs Heather
