A New Endeavour - Intimo

Wow, I just realised I haven't posted in ages!!  I've been flat out busy since deciding to join another company and become an Intimo consultant.  Of course I am continuing my Kaszazz consulting, but this is just another fun adventure I've decided to give a go!

Intimo has gorgeous lingerie and loungewear and I'm absolutely in love with all the products!  I went on a spending spree and bought another dream bra with managing gorgeous violet underwear, the roll top pants - SUPER COMFY!!, a white short wrap, more briefs and the convertible bra which is perfect for all my strapless outfits!  I can't wait to do my first presentation, although I am a little nervous as I don't know all of the products that well yet but the ones I have I love so they'll be easy to talk about.

If you're interested in checking out the Intimo range, go to http://www.intimo.com.au/ and if you'd like to host a party, please contact me!

On a side note - I'm starting to get a little overwhelmed with the clutter in my house and am trying to work out a weekend where I can get stuck into cleaning up!  I'm sure I must have so much useless stuff that I could either sell, donate or just throw away.  I'm sure I'll feel a lot lighter and happier once I have done this, although finding time to start is the first issue!  Wish me luck!!

Card Creations

Well, it's been a couple of days since I posted.  I've just been flat out with sick kids, parents-in-law visiting and trying to get myself organised for my Kaszazz card class tomorrow. 

After a dreadful Tuesday with both kids having a tummy bug, Jacob woke up on Wednesday completely fine which was wonderful!  Unfortunately Ava wasn't as lucky and it has taken until today for her to be completely back to normal, the poor little cherub!  I'm just so happy that myself and my 5 month old, Lucas were able to avoid getting sick ourselves.

So in the meantime, I hosted an Intimo party - lingerie and loungewear - and I'm absolutely in love with their products!!  I'm seriously considering becoming an Intimo consultant now too as everything they sell is just gorgeous!

I've also finally finished creating a card class which was inspired by my good friend, Aika.  It's her birthday today and I was making a card to send to her (she lives in Japan) and suddenly got inspired to create a few more to the same theme.  Now I just have to write up the instructions, test the class with a few people and send it in to Kaszazz to see if they like it too! 

My card class creation

These cards are created using the gorgeous new papers - Asian/Spring and White Bazzill Bling and stamps from the new Asia Botanicals set. 

Ooh La La Vivid Brights Cards

Tomorrow, I'll be hosting the Kaszazz Ooh La La Vivid Brights card class and am really looking forward to it.  I hope all my guests enjoy creating these cards as much as I do!

If you are interested in any Kaszazz products or would like to host a workshop, please contact me :)  I would love to hear from you!

What a day!

Oh what a day I've had...my 2 older kids usually go to day care on a Tuesday but I was up half the night with little Ava.  She had caught the tummy bug that's going around...I was hoping we'd dodged it but apparently not!  So I kept them both home from day care as I thought Jacob would probably catch it soon enough and I didn't want him spreading germs to the other children.  Well, sure enough, he was sick by 11am and so I've spent the day cleaning up and washing.  The poor little mites, it must be horrible for them.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get it, but it almost seems inevitable!

Lucas is still well (fingers crossed) and he was his happy self today, so at least I had one bubba smiling :)

So what would have been an eventful day of exercising, office duties and scrapbooking turned out to be a day of cleaning and washing (and trying to get that awful smell out of the house!)  All the kids are in bed early tonight so I'm hoping they'll sleep it off and be better in the morning.

A Day at the Gardens

What a glorious day we had today!  I'm so glad my friend Amy had the idea to go to the Mt Cootha Botanical Gardens today with all our kids, it was such a wonderful day and did not cost a cent!  We all arrived at about 11am and found our way to the information kiosk to get the map so that the kids could do the "Hide and Seek Kids Trail."  

Amy's kids - Bella and Ryan and my kids - Jacob, Ava and Lucas (in the pram)

At first my kids (Jacob and Ava) weren't too keen, they didn't want to walk and we thought we were going to have to go back to the car to get the second seat attachment for the pram and the baby bjorn so that none of them had to walk, but then once we got to the start of the trail, they forgot all about it and were quite happy to go exploring - thank God!!  We had lots of fun finding all the special creatures/trees/plants etc, all were numbered so we knew when we were in the right place.  Then we stopped for lunch at the bandstand.  We had brought some fruit and Amy had made sandwiches so we set up our mats and had a lovely picnic.  It was all a bit much for Amy's youngest, Ryan and my youngest, Lucas and they both got a bit upset as they were very tired, but they both rested in their prams once we got moving again.  We found the rest of the numbers along the trail and then it was time to go home.

We had a wonderful day and I would recommend it to anyone who has kids, it is a perfect way to get out and about, fun for everyone and best of all - FREE!

Creating with Kaszazz

Good morning!  Another cold, wet day stuck inside.  Today the kids have decided to do some drawing/colouring and are really looking forward to visiting their cousings this afternoon.  In the meantime, I've been racking my brain trying to create a Kaszazz 12x12 layout for Ava's 2nd birthday photos...I've picked the base paper - My Girl - cupcakes/Stripes and am now working on the design and embellishments.  I love this paper, it's aboslutely gorgeous and suits the photos since she had a cupcake cake!  Wish me luck!

Are you interested in scrapbooking?  And if you are, what range of papers do you love best?

Welcome to my blog!

Hi everyone,

Well this is my first ever post (hopefully the first of many if I can get the hang of this thing!!)  It's absolutely freezing today, perfect weather to cosy up on the couch and watch movies..or in my case - Chuggington!!  My son Jacob is obsessed with this cartoon and requested to watch the dvd.  When that was finished his next request was Finley the Fire Engine - another dvd he is obsessed with and given the chance he would watch non-stop if I let him.  Since I needed a break from cartoons, I decided that we would listen to the radio and spend some quality time together dancing around the lounge room.  Jacob didn't like that idea and proceeded to tell me that he didn't like music - one of those things you say when you would rather be doing something else.  So Ava and I danced around the lounge room while he had a sulk...so much for quality time (with him anyway)!

What are your kids favourite cartoons/dvds?
