Things have been happening....
I turned this
into this
and then guess what happened....
Last night I received an email from Sarah at Quilt Fabric Delights welcoming me as one of the six members of her new 'Creative Team'. Oh my goodness!! There has been much excitement in the willowberry house! What a fab early birthday pressie :-)
You can read all about it and meet the rest of the team here
Congrats to all the girls - Rachel, Lisa, Amanda, Rachael and Melissa
Creating a project from a bunch of fabrics that I wouldn't normally select was a real challenge. Then the fabrics just started yelling out 'fun', 'sunday drives', 'market shopping', 'warm sunshine' and a 'girl in a white convertible.... with bright red lips'
Thanks Sarah, I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now onto the birthday thing... and the other pressies
A BIG box with pretty paper and loads of shiny curls
Intel inside... Oh My God... tears, hugs all round! My very own laptop from the combined forces of the funny little man, Blossie and Moo
(Just so you know... the waterboy will probably send me a snowdome with a resin 'Nemo' staring at me... just like the one he gave his little sister...)
Hmmmm ~ Norm is mesmerised... he's remembering Woodstock
Me ~ 'Oh how on earth am I going to be able to get any work done today now that I have this to play with?'
Funny Little Man ~ 'Weeeell... how 'bout you just take the day off and play!'
Me ~ 'Hmmmmmmmmmm... ok then, if you insist...'
So today I will crank down the old dinosaur in my office and make way for the new baby
The GumTreeGirls have all been busy creating special birthday pressies too, I'll share some photos in the next day or so
Happy Birthday Melanie :-) and Cindy :-) and Adrian :-)
Gotta go, Bloss has morning tea sorted
seeya one of these tomorrows
