About five little bags to go and i'll be finished my advent calendar !  

Countdown to Christmas

an Advent Calendar dilemma !  I really needed a new one, but might have left it a little too late.  I had been searching for a pocket type one that I could make because as well as little treats I like to write up an activity for us to do on that day.  It could be something as simple as reading a christmas story at bed, or going to the strawberry patch for an icecream after school.  The girls get so excited about reading the note in the morning and finding out what is the plan for the day. 

so here is day one .... i'm using calico for the bags and gorgeous vintage finds to decorate them.  I've also printed onto iron on transfer papers and used some vintage christmas images I found. 

Do you have an advent calendar ?

Lucky ..

Jacqui was the lucky winner of the fairy house pattern.  She has a five year old (just like I do) with a fairy obsession !  How cute is that.  Congratulations Jacqui, can't wait to see your finished house.

If you would love your own pattern to make this totally gorgeous fairy house, Robyn now has a PDF version of it.  Its a great price at just $17 and she has paypal so its super easy.  Just email her robyngrant@clear.net.nz 

Turning 5 , going to school and growing up

It might be easy for her ... but for me its hard.  She's my baby and I still look at her some days and wonder where the last five years have gone.  She looks tiny in her school uniform.

She loves school.  She is so happy  .......

This was another project (its not really a mini album more like a folder) I made it with a few album pages but also to keep Abby's 5th Brirthday cards and some other things.

Birthday memories ....

and there is still more to show from this kit.  We are having a 2nd gallery release in December.  I'm busy finishing off the add on kit class.  A few sneak peeks are already on the Tarisota blog.  Go check them out if you have not already.  I'll be able to show mine soon.
