Grab a glass of wine for this one...Or maybe the whole bottle!

Ok ive been M.I.A for a week nearly. What have i been up to? Well....i got sick and yukk for a few days there, like some of my poor bloggin pals, ive got my poor kitty cat SCAMP back in the Vet with the same problem as last time and ive been busy creating this and that.
I will try not to bore you with too much chit chat so heres some pretty pics for you to feast your eyes on!

First of all my SOOOO PRETTY Paper Dresses arrived from the lovely LIZ.

Arent they gorgeous! Thankyou soooo much Liz i really adore them. You are awesome and clever! Yours are on their way...i was a bit late, im sorry. Oh and i just realised i forgot to take pics of them b4 i sent them...bugger.

Next up is a bunch of surprise lil' prezzies from my gorgeous friend LORI. Lori was my MUMS partner in My Cotton N Candy Swap and she sent along a bundle of pretties just for me in with mums parcel. Lori you are so beautiful and thoughtful and sweet and i love all my lil' treasures you sent me. My heart is so full :)
My gorgeous prezzies from Lori all wrapped up so beautifully....


Look at all that sweet stuff! I am spoilt.Luv Ya bunches Lori.


I had so much fun making Paper Dresses that i got to 'fiddling' with some more paper items. I was inspired by my Lace Parasols....


And VOILA' My Pretty Paper Parasols!


Im thinking a Paper Parasol Swap may be on the horizon....what do you think??

Next are some items from my Christmas Line.
This partucular Wreath is in my Ebay Auctions at the moment but i am already taking orders for them in a variety of colours.On this one I used some gorgeous Ashwell and Ribbon n Roses fabric, pearl beading and the prettiest pink baubles. The main feature is the Pink Poinsettia flower and faux crystal drop in the centre. The best thing is you can use it any time of the year. I think i'll be making myself one too :)

Whats this???? Glittery foam balls on Kebab Skewers???

Well they make the heads for these of course!
My Sweet Angels available in my Etsy.


These will be in there soon...my new little Cupcake Angels..ready to hang on the Chrissy Tree.


Im also busy now making my Fabric Christmas Bon Bons and some gorgeous Christmas Signs. They should be ready in about a week.

Now last week i was having a big office cleanup (ha ha its a mess again)and i realised i have so many sweet cards and tags that are precious to me so i made myself a Memory Board for them.


Theres a photo of Sam there sitting on the vacuum, its my favourite. Either side of him are my Pa and my Grandad, they are both gone now but i know they would have adored Sam :)

Well thats it from me, im off to ring the Vet AGAIN to check in on my Scampy....i hate him being there.

Hugs,
Shann xo

Hi Shanny
Hope you are feeling a little better my dear pal, I am getting there slowley, this is one of the worst colds I think I have ever had, oh I hope poor scampy is ok.
Love all the new goodies, oh how I wish you lived next door my house would be covered in all your goodies and we could sit there sipping on tea and cupcakes.
I am totally in love with the wreath, oh I wanna one, I might have to attempt at something similar for me home, but I am sure it will not look like yours.
Love to all
Kara

Hi Darling, just checked those pics on your memory board again. My Dad & his huge fish (I think the other one he's holding was my catch-hee hee). Isn't it funny the resemblance between Sam & the pic of your Dad when he was little-too weird eh. Is that my Angel in there too, she's on my sideboard now. Thanks so much sweetie, luv ya lots (but you knew that.
Hugs, Mum :-}
PS: Hopefully gonna blog Lori's swap stuff today. Lots of pics.

Unknown said...

Thankyou Shannon for your kind words, and I hope 'Scampy" will be ok...It is hard when I have a cocker spaniel's sad face pressed against the glass door, I cant help but have sympathy!!
You are an absolute champion, do you stay up all nite to make these things? Very clever!!!
