Just Like Martha

Shadow Shot Sunday

Hi there! Its been a few weeks since I participated with Tracy in the gang to chase shadows. Not sure what happened its just been really busy....Lilly has just returned form her Year 7 camp. They travelled a few hours north from Sydney and spent a few days 'bonding' - high ropes, low ropes, abseling, archery, fencing, canoeing, kayaking - you get the picture.

 

Lucky for me she is ALWAYS on the look out or shadows...thanks Lil x

 

Looks like she had lots of fun! It even looks like she knew what she was doing!! Very impressive!

 

 

 

Nod bad for a first effort!

If you want to see what the other shadow chasers have been up to, pop on over to say hello to Tracy . Happy Sunday one and all x

Friday catchup...some cardmaking and stickers for Emma

Can you believe it Friday already...where has yet another week gone?

First to share today is a special card I made to send off with a bunch of stickers for Emma...as Emma has decided she would like to send everyone that writes to her a thankyou note I thought I'd help out by making a few...hope she likes them!

 

 

The lovely bunch of ladies that I train with every Wednesday are each gathering some stickers so I will have more to send little Emma next week....PLEASE if you can, pop some in an envelope with a little note and put a smile on a very brave little girls face..

A GET WELL card for "Aunty Sue"...and a few Birthday cards to catch up on...

 

 

 

  And finally we are off to dinner tonight....a quick batch of rocky road in a decorated noodle box - the perfect "hostess gift"..enjoy your Friday night too xx

 
 

Introducing Emma - a very special brave little girl

Recently I heard about Emma via Melissa Goodsell. Emma is a very brave 11 year old little girl who is undergoing a series of chemotherapy for a growing tumour in her head/face/neck....you can read all about her journey on her mum Leanne's blog.

Mel asked her readers to send Emma a get well card or even a postcard with some stickers in an envelope to help brighten her day...

Here are Emma's details:

(Emma's mum has asked that you include a stamped self-addressed envelope, apparently Emma wants to thank everyone....)

 

Please help out a smile on this special little girls face!

My thoughts and prayers are with Emma and her family xx

Afternoon Tea - French style

Finally some photos to share with you of Lilly's 12th Birthday afternoon tea - french style. Lilly and I made the invites, black and white with pink (very tres chic) so that set the theme for the afternoon tea...

 

There were cupcakes of course...

 

 

Paper Eskimo helped us out with the black and white patty cake holders, they were perfect, and I just added the heart shaped toppers...it wouldn't be a girly tea party without these favourites...

 

And of course there were little tiny meringues, Arnotts Iced Vovos (a fave ol Lilly's), pink and white marshmallows and assorted sweets....

 

 

I love how it all came together.....

 

 

And of course the girls had a little goodie bag to take home as a thank you for coming along to help celebrate Lilly turning 12...

 

So there you have it an inexpensive 'elegant' way to celebrate a Birthday...very French, very stylish and very yummy!

 

Shadow Shot Sunday

Finally I got my act together this week to join in with other shadow shooters from ALL over the world and participate in Tracy's SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY www.heyharriet.blogspot.com

 

John has finished the new deck in our backyard (he is so clever, and is VERY proud of his latest achievement!) and today the shadows came out to play...

 

 

Back later today to share some of Lilly's Birthday pics xx

Happy Birthday Lilly

Our 'baby' girl is 12 today! That makes you officially a "tween", and growing up way too fast!

 
 
Hope you have an extra special Birthday, we love you "to the moon and back"!

 

Lilly was definitely 'French' in a past life and loves all things Parisian....can't wait to share pics of the 'french inspired' afternoon tea she enjoyed with a few friends yesterday...perhaps tomorrow....until then, have a happy Saturday xx
