~ CUPCAKE DAY FOR THE RSPCA ~

Today is Cupcake Day for the RSPCA.All around your local shopping centres, schools or offices you may run into someone with a heart of gold selling delicious cupcakes to raise money for the thousands of mistreated and neglected animals that need our love and support.
Up until last week i was all set to sell 100's of yummy and delicious cupcakes (that i was baking and decorating with the help of my gorgeous boy Sam), at my local shopping centre. However it seems the bakery in the centre kicked up such a fuss at the thought of someone selling cupcakes near them, that i had my stall cancelled. I was so upset,angry and very very disheartened. This was for charity after all. This also left it too late for me to find an alternate venue.
Therefore, today i have listed a selection of Faux Cupcakes on Ebay, with ALL the proceeds going to the RSPCA. Once the money has been collected i will be posting the deposit receipt on my blog.

So if you cant get out today and buy a real cuppie, please pop on over to my Ebay auctions and place a bid. Remember EVERY CENT COUNTS. The RSPCA do a wonderful job but THEY NEED OUR SUPPORT.

You can view my listings by clicking HERE.
OR if you'd like to make a donation directly to the RSPCA you can do so HERE.

















My official fundraiser letter from the RSPCA.


















So please pop by, spread the word, do whatever you can!

THANKYOU SO MUCH from the bottom of my heart. Im sure the animals all thank you too!
We have to look out for them, because, after all, we are their voices!

Love n Hugs

Sweet New Listings and a Sweet Friend

Hello lovelies! Thanks for popping by to visit me! I hope everyone had a gorgeous weekend like i did with my family.
Yesterday Sam and i spent a few hours in the front garden weeding, planting some more Primulas (pink of course) and mulching the garden beds. After that we had a game of 'badminton' in the front yard where Sam confirmed our suspicions that he plays like John McEnroe....LOL, including the hissy fits! What a crack up! Maybe one day he will make a fortune and keep his mummy in the manner to which she could become very accustomed...!

Now since my roses have all been cut back I've been missing them....so i decided to play with paper and paint ones instead.

So this is just a little piccie of a few new things i have just listed HERE on my Website.


Now last Friday i had the pleasure of finally meeting in real life, a gorgeous Ebayer that probably lots of you know. Her name is Tiffany and her Ebay Id is ajrosey.
Tiff and i have chatted on ebay and made friends, but last friday Tiff did such a gorgeous thing and drove all the way over to my place to deliver a pile of timber shutters for me to use in my artwork! THANKS TIFF !!! So Tiff stayed for well over 2 hours and we chatted like old friends and laughed our backsides off about how similar we are (freaky hey Tiff). Oh and lookie at these itty bitty cuppies and snacks i bought for us. I sent some cuppies home with Tiff for her son Ayden who is 8 and is sooooo much like my Sam.

And no we didnt eat them all *wink*
I sooooooooooo recommend that you visit Tiffany HERE at her Ebay Listing or HERE at her Website where she sells gorgeous shabby chic cushions and raggy quilts...the girl can sew like you wouldn't believe! I have so many of her cushions and i NEED many many more. Notice i said NEED, not WANT. There's a difference hey, hee hee.
Make sure you tell Tiff i sent you when you visit her! Hmmm maybe i can even convince her to start a blog......Tiff???? Maybe????

Okey Dokey im off to start sanding a huge Queen Anne Sideboard....it's going to be so hard to part with it when im done *insert sad face*, but i cant keep everything!

Have a gorgeous week everyone!

Love N Hugs

~ Beauty Is In The Sky ~

I wanted to share with you this gorgeous photo i took last night. The sky looks like it is actually on fire, those colours were sooo gorgeous! You just know that the next day will be glorious (and it is).


Thats true beauty isnt it. Amazing.

Love Shann xxoo

SWEET~NEST

I just had to quickly pop by and show you the oh`so`yummy desserts that Sam and i made together over the weekend for the 3 of us...we felt like being spoilt :)

Heres my boy up on the kitchen bench being a Master Chef.


A simple Meringue nest topped with fresh whipped cream (dairy...thats good for you), Marshmallows (ummm...sugars a food group isnt it???), strawberries (see....healthy stuff there), grated chocolate (cocoa...uhh well it has dairy in it....)oh and drizzled with passionfruit pulp (see...more healthy stuff, it balances out in the end ..right ??). Sam didnt have passionfruit pulp though so he figured he needed the most chocolate on his to even the score. LOL, cheeky monkey.

They look yummy dont they? They were! I definately recommend making one for yourself as a special treat.

Ok im off now...all this talk of food has made me hungry....

Have a great week!

Lotsa Luv
Shann xxoo

Stuff ~ N ~Fluff

I thought that was a fairly good title for this post because i just know it's going to be all over the place. Im feeling in an 'all over the shop' kinda mood, LOL.
First off i will tell you all that last Tuesday the 14th, my gorgeous litle man SAM turned 6 !!! YIKES. It's like i woke up and my baby had grown over night. He is such an amazing bright boy and i adore him with all my heart.
Here's my gorgeous young man now....
This was taken @ Richmond Park on his birthday.

And blowing out the candles on his cake at his party with all his friends from kindergarten.

They had such a blast!

**This past week ive been sick, which was a real pain in the you-know-what, being that it is school holidays here. BUT Sam and i have still managed to go out and see a few movies, go to the park, play Aqua Golf and lots of other fun stuff.
And being the stubborn person i am i have still sat up at night creating when i should have been in bed resting.
I painted this gorgeous Boudoir Chair and cut and covered a new base and cushion for her. Isnt she pretty!

You can find her HERE on Ebay.
BTW, does anyone else talk about their furniture like they are human..or is just me?
I think when i start giving them names there can be cause for concern.


Well this hasnt turned out to be as scattered as i thought it would be.
Maybe i'll save that for next time.

I hope you all have a beautiful weekend ahead!
Thanks for popping by to visit me.


Love and Hugs,

What to do with a bed head...

Hiya lovelies,
I wanted to show you all my newest painting. I was so lucky to pick up 2 big, old timber bed heads a while ago (hmm, found them a few days ago in the chaos that is our garage)that i knew would be perfect for painting on. So a few days ago i got hubs to cut them down for me so i could use the top scrolly half...but as the 'cut' bit fell to the ground i thought Hmmmmm, i can do something with that....
No timber ever gets wasted here, LOL.

So i grabbed the brushes....and off i went..
Some stripes to get me started and see where it takes me.

I thought i took a 'mid-paint' photo but i must not have...dang it.

So here is the finished product.


I left the timber legs on so it could be used to sit on a sideboard surrounded by pretties,as a bedhead, or popped on the porch or a zillion other places. OR the legs can be cut off and the painting hung on the wall.
I've listed this one on Ebay , you can click HERE to see it.

So my week of Painting Plenty of Pretty Pink Roses has been busy and fun! I might even continue it next week.

Well i hope you all have a safe and fun weekend ahead, we have Sam's birthday party on sunday @ Lollipops Playland, we cant wait, it'll be so much fun for Sam and his friends. I cant believe my boy will be 6 in 4 days (his birthday is actually on Tuesday next week). He might be growing up but he is still my best little buddy *smiles a teary smile*.

HAPPY WEEKEND LADIES !!

Love n Hugs,
Shann xxxooo
