The food, sunshine, and lovely motel was only part of the story at Napier...I made some purchases too :-)
Liked the look of these Lines and Dots stencils from Nellie Snellen.
They are designed to be used with Distress Ink and pressed through a Cuttlebug but I like the idea of spraying through them
or sponging ink through them works well.
Got this cool wee pad of Tim Holtz Reinforcers
- close-up of what's inside here.
Bought some lovely stamps too. Can't wait to try out these gorgeous big flowers.
This lovely swirly tree stamp will be useful for Christmas, but not exclusively so.
And I'm thinking this tree will be fantastic to use as a mask
Blog love for the week : if you are looking from some new inspiration for your stencils : Kenner Road has some very cool examples of what you can do with stencils and modeling paste that I really would like to try.
Our Jacob turned 11 years old today.
He had a good day at school and we had a family dinner tonight - but the most memorable thing about today is going to be the snowfall!
It started off slow and the boys rushed out to have their photo taken because we thought it would probably stop quite quickly and not come to much...
But it didn't!
My 'spring' tulips are a bit shocked.
We don't usually get snow in Palmerston North so this was a stunner.
Will be especially amazing to our northern hemisphere friends I imagine :-)
Hope you have had a wonderful weekend. We have had a lovely time with visiting family, and this afternoon I had lovely tea, cakes and bubbles with some fabulous friends. Had to share the deliciousness here.
The spread
Serviettes folded into hearts
Gorgeous homemade cupcakes
And the piece de resistance!
Cheers to those girlfriends who make life lovelier :-)
