I've been working on some gorgeous projects for this months Tarisota kit its called "vintage pretties" and I truly hope that you have yours ordered as i'm pretty sure its sold out. I don't usually do sneak peeks of projects BUT this month is different . I've been waiting a while to share this project with you ..... waiting for the perfect kit. This is the perfect kit.
You will have to wait a few more days to see it all. Be sure to come back when the gallery goes up because i'm doing a RAK ! Its going to be so exciting.

Last week we said goodbye to kindy. Abby turned 5 on Thursday and started school. It was really sad to leave kindy, its been such a big part of our lives for the last few years, both Jessica and Abby totally loved their time at kindy.
Last week was a whirlwind of parties, cake, putting the finishing touches on the party planning and starting school.
Thanks to an awesome book called "enchanted cakes for children" by Debbie Brown we (yes Steve and I) created this for Abbys "garden" party.
Abby was a ladybug and Jessica had a gorgeous headpeice that I make for her.
The room was awesome, thanks to Steve again who never complains when I ask him to move furniture and totally transform our house for a party ! Someone said to me "bet your glad its all over ? Are you kidding ...... I love kids parties, I live for this stressing myself out making sure every little detail is perfect. I love it, I'm sad its over. I start planning Jessicas party in January ... her birthday is not till June.
You can learn how to make the cute toadstools here, thanks Martha Stewart !
I love you my baby girl !

quick post to share my design work for Tarisota this month.
Lavender and Lace .... and beautiful velvet ribbon (velvet ribbon is on my favourite things list).
There is more but typepad keeps crashing on me :( I write a whole post and then its gone !! its driving me crazy ...... is it just me or does anyone else have this problem ?
Rachel xxx
Aaahhh can I just say , I now have no idea what to do with this new typepad. Its so different ! i'm sure I'll figure it out .............one day.
There is a new challenge over at sketchbook and i've even done an example for it , I know I know ... I cannot believe it either. Bold and Bright, I'm not quite sure if mine actually fits into that criteria but this layout is one of my favorites at the moment .
and a close up.
That gorgeous transperancy is from Fancy Pants . I got it at the sketchbook retreat earlier in the year, thanks Crafty Tart. While I was in Auckland the other week I also found them at Scrapbook Studio, along with some beautiful fabrics that I just had to have. (more about that in another post) I only used a part of the transperancy on this layout and have another piece to use on something else. A card prehaps ? Oh ...... so talking about cards ... i'm no cardmaker but since it was World Cardmaking day ......
and this one
Both made with the October 09 Tarisota kit. Working on gallery items at the moment ... not long now.
Keep warm and stay dry

"Lavender and Lace" the October 09 Kit for Tarisota has been released today ... its yummy. Check it out here.
The Autumn Escape Classes have also been released you can check them out on the blog here. The line up of classes is just awesome. Where else in NZ would you get the opportunity to take a Kelly Goree class, she's like scrapbooking royalty ! And Nic is doing a class called "pages like that" - oh yes I want to do that class. And mine, i'm going to be teaching with some of my favourite products and showing you my all time favourite techniques. Exciting stuff.
So have I been scrapping ..... well yes a little. But mostly i've been planning Abby's 5th birthday party. Making felt strawberries and spending as much time with her as I can before she goes to school. I still think of her as my baby and am not really that happy about her growing up ......
No garden party would be complete without cute felt strawberries for the party bags !
