"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; 

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. 

At the going down of the sun and in the morning 

We will remember them."

May just around the corner, the 5th month of the year almost, where does the time go ladies?

I hope you have enjoyed Easter Weekend with Family and friends. I've been in Christchurch for the past couple of weeks helping out with our newest grandchild and took a couple of days out to accompany two of our other grandsons up to Auckland for a couple of days over the weekend, so it's been a busy family time for me. 

Wonderful news this week to learn that Sara has been appointed as the permanent CEO of Stampin' Up, I know that many of you have enjoyed the past year with Sara heading Stampin' Up as have I and it's wonderful to have Shelli back with us again, what a great team!

The excitement is building as we get closer to "On Stage" there is always something to look forward to with Stampin' Up.

Have a fabulous week.

Firstly apologies for not posting this blog on Sunday night, I was flying back from Melbourne and forgot to schedule the post for Sunday night. It's been a very busy time for me, spending a week in Melbourne with my sister who is chronically ill and housebound and returning to Christchurch to spend time helping out with our newest Grandson who is only 8 days old today. 

I'm guessing you have all been very busy with the end of Sale-A-Bration coming to an end and what a wonderful array of products we've had to choose from this year, "Stampin' Up" just keeps coming up trumps.

Have a wonderful week.

Hello everyone, have you had a good week? While I was typing the date for this post, it occurred to me that this year is indeed "marching" along very quickly. The old adage "the older you get the faster it goes" comes to mind eek I hope it doesn't get any faster for me.

Our family welcomed our fifth grandson into the world early this morning, we are truly blessed to now have six grandchildren to love.

I've had some fun this week playing with the Easter Lamb stamp set, this stamp is so versatile and very cute, loving it, hoping to see some posted from all of you.

Have a terrific week.

I hope you have had a full and creative week. It's obvious those of you who went to Stamp Camp had a great time and learnt a lot.

I've been in Christchurch since Friday spending time with two of our sons and their families. In the early hours of this morning we had a strong earthquake which woke us up, reminding us of how long the poor Cantabrians have been putting up with these persistent after shocks. Remember them in your prayers.

Have a wonderful week everyone.

I hope everyone has had a good week and those of you who attended the Creative Inkers Stamp Camp have arrived home safe and sound, although perhaps a little tired from all the talking, creating and friendship.

A few photos of the Stamp Camp Weekend have been shared on the Creative Inkers facebook page so make sure to pop over there and have a look.

The hi-light for me this week has been the additional Sale-A-Bration products two stamp sets; "Pedal Pusher" and "Party Pants" and the gorgeous Metallics Glitter Tape.

Sale-A-Bration has been a huge WOW this year, love all these FREE products!

Have a fabulous week.

Another lovely summer weekend to enjoy with family and friends. Last night we were lucky to share a lovely roast dinner with 4 generations of our extended family, our newest granddaughter, our youngest son, my husband and his mother, a great memory for all of us.

For those of you going to stamp camp next weekend have a fabulous time creating and sharing with your Stampin' Up friends.

Unbelievable, here we are at the end of the first month of 2016 already. For those of you with school age children you will be busy getting everything ready for the new school year, new shoes, uniforms, stationary and haircuts etc

I'm guessing many of you will have started creating Valentine cards for family and friends to give to their loved ones the new "Bloomin Love" bundle is awesome for these cards and I'm looking forward to seeing your posts.

Have a great week.

I'm loving that so many creations are being posted at the moment, there has certainly been an increase of posts since the new Occasions Catty and Sale-A-Bration have been released. In previous years January has traditionally been a quiet month in terms of posts however January 2016 has been busy. I believe this is a direct result of the fabulous new products which have inspired so many of us.

Have an awesome week.

Hi de Ho Stampers, what an exciting week for us all, with the beginning of Sale-A-Bration and the new Occasions Catalogue, I think that I'll be spending quite a lot this quarter, I love everything that is on offer. What about those new "Wink of Stella" brushes, how did I ever craft without one? It's always so exciting to see all the creations when new product is released, just love it. Keep up the good work!

I hope you all had a great Christmas day with family and friends, our house was mayhem with 29 for Christmas dinner. Fortunately for me, my husband and daughter in-law love to cook, so there was no room for me in the kitchen until clean up time.

For the next week I am holidaying at Waihi beach with some of our family, which we are all looking forward to, lets hope the weather stays fine.

The 2016 Stampin' Up year is off to a great start with the new occasions catalogue and Sale-a-bration.

My very best wishes for a Happy New Year to you and Yours.

Hi De Ho Stampers, many of you will have been busy this week with end of year school and work functions, with still more to come no doubt. I've been busy creating teachers gifts for my grandsons whom seem to have more than one teacher each these days, however the teachers are always appreciative knowing that time and thought have gone into the gifts they receive.
This week I was thinking it was time I checked out how to make the NZSU Blog mobile friendly, I found it was very easy as "Blogger" had an option within their program to sort it out. I hope that you find it a little easier to access on your phones now.
Have a great week and be careful out there in the busy pre Christmas whirl.
