Harmony Primary Fete SU Stall Pics

As promised a few pics from Sunday.  What a gorgeous gorgeous morning we had.  Set up at 8 in the morning was a little chilly but it soon warmed up.  There were plenty of people around, stopping buy to have a look at the stall, as well as create one of our make and take card kits.  Nothing beats seeing someone stamp for the first time.  Being at the stall with a fellow demo was just the best, always more fun when their is two of you sharing the day.  Our lucky door prize proved to be very popular, and Cindy will soon be collecting her prize pack of $100 Stampin' up! product. 
Sadly, the blue skies you will see int he pics below were replaced but some fairly heavy windy showers about 1.30.  So as we didn't want our paper craft to turn to paper mache we decided it was time to pack up and get out of there, along with all the fete goers and many other stall holders. 
For my first market day it was a really positive experience meeting so many friendly faces, and am looking forward to seeing some of you at upcoming classes and crop sessions. 

Happy Friday everyone, Joc x

Getting set up and ready for a great day out.  We were able to secure a corner position right near the food stalls, so lots of people traffic passing by

My new Stampin friend Ann.  She is one talented lady, you can visit her website here to see her projects.

With all the planning and stampin that had been going on in the lead up to the fete day, my MIL decided it was time to give this Stampin' thing a try.  Here she is helping me get some punch art projects ready for the kids in Emma's kindy class.

And of course my boy, never one to miss out on some crafting.  We make a little fancy favour gift bag for his student teacher who has been with his class all term.  He loved the Big Shot, and making the paper sandwiches

Inspiring Photos to share - some talented girls in the west....

Whew, what a weekend,  slept well last night that's for sure.  As previously mentioned I had a full weekend of Stampin' Up! which was just great as I was doing and sharing what I love, but it couldn't have happened without my wonderful MIL, dear hubby, and my kids who understand when Mummy dies her Stamp "work"!  So a big shout out to all of them.
This post is all about sharing Saturdays adventures at the SU Perth regional day.  Well, let me just say "We're not in Cairns anymore Toto!"  Perth regionals filled a whole ballroom at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Perth city, there would have been close to approx 200 demos there give or take some.  The day was themed in the by gone era of domesticity - the 1950's.  The SU Australia girls were all decked out in 1950's frocks, music was the 50's as well, and we had a great look back at what the housekeeping books of the time were advising wives to do to keep their husbands happy.  Luckily, mine wasn't in the room as I certainly don't follow the rules!!!!  Freshen up, put in makeup and a ribbon in my hair to get ready for his arrival so I can keep the children quiet - not going to happen in this home!
I met up with some girls who I had met at Melbourne earlier in the year, as well as met some of the team members who know my Stampin friend Ann her in Perth.  The WOW presentations were well, WOW.  Have been inspired to patchwork using DSP, head to Spotlight to get some plastic doily table cloths as well as create bows using the humble kitchen fork!  Have taken some pics for you all, hope you like what the girls over here have come up with, some I didn't get swaps off so can't attribute to.  Here they are.... (I'll apologise now as for some reason my new camera is messing around with orientation and I just cannot orientate correctly....sorry everyone x)

Fabric covered boxes - Sophie Zadeh WOW using SU fabric

The big ballroom, we were in the middle, so there was that many behind as well

Creative Elements and Delicate Doilies stamp sets, love the sponging and new In Colours Island Indigo and Pool Party.  The doily stamps were embossed in white, just beautiful 

Plastic Doily covered with Multi-purpose adhesive sheets, then glittered using Super Nova glitter

Make and Take idea from Ngaire Anderson - once again, Creative Elements stamp set

Glitter on doily framed presented in Workshop WOW by Sarah Klass.  Frame from IKEA (according to Sarah "the happiest place on earth...smile x )

Hope you have enjoyed the photos and are inspired to create, shall be back with more weekend news,  Stay tuned for Part 2 Sunday my first SU fete stall         Luv Joc x

Sleep, who needs sleep?....not me this weekend anyway!

Hi one and all!  It's been a little while but I have just been so busy, which is pretty exciting to say, considering that some days it still really feels like we are "newbies" in the big city.  Bren and I flew back late last week to the East Coast for a quick visit and a friend of Bren's wedding up at Montville on the Sunshine Coast hinterland.  The weather was just beautiful, am sure that their wedding photos are going to be stunning.  This week I have been busily getting ready for my first ever Stampin' Up! stall at the local primary school fete on Sunday.  Before that though, I have the Perth regional Stampin' Up day tomorrow. I have been "adopted" by a wonderful demonstrator over here and will be sitting with her and the upline and downline.  Really looking forward to the day out.  So best be getting back to it, a few more little things to do for tomorrow first before I crawl into bed.  Talk soon, Joc x

How true is this!

Hi all, thought you might appreciate this one.  I know it is certainly true in my house, although my little man is probably a little more attuned to colour hues.  Joc x
