Going to school & some Biscotti

Oooh! What fun! What excitement! I had my first 2 days at school this week. Granted, they were just 2 half days of induction talks, but still... a preview of the good things to come.

My favourite part was the talk about which knives we need and information about the various knife makers. I was really looking forward to buying the knives, but I have to admit... deciding on what to buy, is terrible confusing! Japanese? German? French? Trying to get a clearer idea by reading some articles. Cutting Remarks by Travis Neighbor Ward  has been a good start.

A fresh start... and lots of hard work :)

After 2 years and a few months in Dublin, we've decided it was time to go back home! We were missing the little ones too much, and they grow up sooooooo fast!!

This last month back on the rock (Malta) has been spent catching up with family and friends, planning our appartment's refurbishment and loads and loads of baking, because (apparently) my sweet treats have been missed more then I have!!!!

 I can't say I'm sorry though. I have been enjoying every minute of it, except the heat of the maltese summer. Maybe we should have came back in winter, where it would have been raining even more then in Dublin :)

A beautiful Thank You!

Design, Print, Trim, Glue, Trim, Glue, Trim, Glue and some more Trim and Glue... that's how the past few days have flown by!! That's because I've had my first large order for 50 cards! Yippeee!!

I know it's been a long time since I last blogged, and I'm sorry :| But I couldn't resist sharing this great news.

It all happened during a very fortunate encounter (fortunate for me, and not for my maltese friend who was stranded here due to the volcanic ash)...

..And we're back!

5 days since the last blog post. Was having sooo much fun in London with the girls and didn't have much time for work. The "We will rock you" musical was awesome. Thanks go to the gals for all the great craic! :)

But here I am, ready to go again. Today I'll be posting preview pics of some baby congratulations cards I'll be selling on Etsy later on this week.

The card below was a custom order for a baby named Sean (Isn't that obvious?! haha!) and can be customized with any baby's name or I can just write BABY using rhinestones. I think it's really cute.

This one featuring 2 embossed baby shoes with 2 crochetted baby flowers and rhinestones. Altough not in pink, I think this is a really original and pretty girly card.

And this is a neutral card, featuring 2 hand drawn baby feet and powder embossed in bronze. A proper work of art, isn't it? :)

Last one for today is this cute animal card. I drew the animal faces on the PC, then printed each animal face twice on texturized card stock.then cut stuck together to create a 3D effect. A neutral card, but i definitely would prefer this to be for a baby boy :)

Enough! Will be back soon with some Wedding card pics. In the mean time... enjoy the Christmas season :)

Hugs to all!
