Final Sneak

Here' s our final sneak for this month - Collection on site in a few hours -

Probably one of my favourite peices in this collection - a last  minute addition  which as soon as I saw I had to include - the Queen Kat team has been madly working  to get them finished for us in time. You won't see it pictured in the main collection shots - as they were well and truely completed before these hit our shore but it is being used by our designers - you will see it featured in the gallery

Class Details

For those of you waiting for the supply list and details of our Bling class tomorrow night - they are now available for download when you login to the studio -

See you tomorrow!

Reading

Its embarrassing to think how little I have been reading this year - when  I planned on doing more..

the last book I blogged about was 6 weeks ago :(

Though I get to read idea books and mags its not the saem

I subscribe to Notebook and Oprah

they are both fabulous reads from front to back cover.

Oprah is $24 US for 24 issues - yes $1 an issue and  the postage isn't very much at all- given  I bought one once ( and fell in love with the mag at a local newsagent for $19.95!)

http://www.oprah.com/omagazine/omag_subscribe.jhtml

we are zooming through the fairy books - finished  Rainbow fairies and are half way through the  Weather Fairies now

- Up to Evie the Mist fairy. I have to say I am sooo impressed this has kept their interest for so long.

I have a new idea book- well its not new on the market - but new for me!

Rusty Pickle - Nothing Rusty here - I received  it from  Mr Rusty Pickle himself - who is a real character might I add! - Bumblebee ran classes - two weeks ago? not sure losing track of time - It was great day - and the book has some awesome projects in it.

and finally in my inbox tonight  a message from  a friend saying her friend had put out a new toddler  book - a fabulous book to get your child to eat at meal times

here's the blurb and the website

Looks very cute

Hope that helps someone

Happy reading :)

Tuesday Night

Just got really good :)

I don't watch TV really- ( I used to )  except for grey's  ( which I watch in super mode - episodes all in a  row with no ads LOL)and this

So this I am going to splurge on and spend an hr a week watching - I may even shock horror not doing something else at the same time - nah that be too indulgent

Trash you say?

Hmm maybe but I can't wait

and we all need some trash don't we?

Loveing the new promos on the website

http://fox8.tv/antm/

not to mention the gossip and rating system they have too :)

Soooo ready for this

8.30 tonight

in an hr

waiting...

anyone else going to confess their trash watching?

Tamar:)

Lush take 2

My rockstar ran out - what was I to do? I had to go back...

and now I am trying

17 Cherry Lane -mimosa, orange and jasmine blossom perfume - I think even more divine than rockstar - but not as pink...

 

and so because its not as pink I just had to get this

Bare Naked Lady -  rose absolute  :)

Nice :)

Fairy Party

My girls love a good party -they may become party organisers in years to come- what am I talking  about - they are now- always organising some event real or imaginary

Today was no different

they were invited to a party at tinker bells land - at Oxenford - FAB  place - hadn't been there before but got the 20 questions about Mum do you know where the party is as I am driving there - I don't know when they became so sassy

anyhow

I learnt three things today

1. Richard is not hard done by when he "HAS" to do yet another party- ( he usually does them )

You get food - and coffee - you get to meet the other mums from daycare - and YES the other Dads - there were three today - its getting to the party thats the issue - not the party itself

2. dress up as  fairy should be easy hey?

Hmm so not - borrowed fairy dresses -elastic broken - hassled Rhonda to fix them for me - apparently she was up till 12.30 doing so ( thanks xxx)

Tiaras  - we have gazillions - don't we?

Not even half a tiara -

youd think I could make one - or two got enough bling here - no time

HMM

Cant be that expensive can they?

Wands - Mum don't you know we have to have wands - how do we turn people into frogs? Hmm  well on so many levels can I answer that question

right get wands $ 5.49 ea and tiaras  $12. 95 before party - get home to get dressed

fastly beginning to think that  Saturday morning with Ballet is better than Saturday morning with fairy party

anyhow

Lecture all the way back from shops about the beautiful tiara and wands very special - going to keep them carefully  -

blah blah  yes  Mumma we know- sassy comes to mind again

Home dress as fairies outside for photos - u look so cute- stand still - stand together - OK maybe not

3 minutes into the photo shoot - tears two broken wands one very cross photographer ( Mumma)

Everyone inside

Dimensional magic wands  back together - sit and  don't move until its party time

5 minutes later 

MUMMA - Tali broke my wand again

mutter mutter mutter more dimensional magic

wonder if its not too early  to add Baileys to my coffee...

On our way

Arrive at Tinker bells land - Mumma take my wings take my wand  take my shoes   at least  they kept the tiaras on

Verdict - very cool place  -they had a great time  - games and food music and dancing a fairy that looked after the whole thing - beautifully decorated party rooms  -  just lovely.

and the final thing I learnt ?  Next party  - Fairy God Father Daddy is on .-

and here are the only decent shots...

Sofia and Talia the Wand breaking Fairies.
