We are heading into the silly season rapidly and Christmas cards are being posted all over Social Media. This year we have some very "Summery Christmas" sets available in the Holiday Catalogue aimed obviously for the NZ/Australian market, however there are also some wonderful traditional images for those who still favour traditional. Personally I love traditional and have decided to use "Santa's Sleigh" bundle for my cards this season, with lots of glitter! It was a toss up between "Santa's Sleigh" and the "Star of Light" bundle which I also love, maybe I'll need to get that bundle as well because I'm seeing some beautiful creations using the "Star of Light" Isn't it awesome being able to get sets in bundles, love it!

Have a fantastic week.

Aloha from Hawaii this week, we are here on holiday with 2 of our sons and their families. It is taking me some time to acclimatise to the very hot weather, coming from the cold wintry blast we've just had in NZ. However many of the stores we have visited in the past couple of days have been air conditioned, enabling us to help out the local economy. We're having a lovely time and I hope you have a fantastic week.
PS: I'm sorry this post is late, I forgot we're a day behind here. (Ah well, Island time)

NZSU Pics of the Week 10 July 2016

Hello fellow stampers, this week I'm blogging from Melbourne where I will be for the next couple of weeks. The weather here is a little warmer than in Auckland and considerably warmer than Christchurch, where I have spent most of the last three and a half months, helping to care for our newest Grandchild Connor. Connor's Mum suffers from ME/CFS and needs help each day so I will be living between the two cities for the foreseeable future. Because of this I haven't had my Stampin' Up supplies to hand, thus having very little chance to craft, so instead I've been creating digital albums and have caught up on a lot of family photos. However I really miss making handmade creations and whenever I get up to Auckland for a few days, I become ensconced in my craft room. So I've decided to pack up some of my craft supplies to take to Christchurch.

Have a fantastic week.
