Treats In The Mail

What a wonderful treat to be on the other end of giving.

I love to be the giver myself but when something special does come my way, it feels amazing

This is what I was gifted by Shona Cole from 'An Artful Life'

and I also got my copy of her book 'The Artistic Mother' in the mail too so it has been a Shona Cole inspired few weeks. How to make this butterfly is included in the book too...

'Pray Constantly' is the message she has sent me.  I was told last year by a tarot reader that I only pray or speak to higher powers when things arent good and I need help.  I was told that I need to address them everyday with anything thats going on good or bad, keep my connection alive...

So maybe this is that little message I need to see to remind me to pray/talk every day to something higher, Im always affirming to myself and Kel how great things are for us, so now I will remember to send that thankfulness a little further....Thankyou Shona, I love it, such a treasure xxx

I have hung my butterfly in my special place, next to all the little things I love....

Natures treasures and my daughters bedroom door....

Here is where all my treasures rest, when I come in the door from adventuring and finding natures pretties, they are placed somewhere on this cupboard.  This was my fathers when he was a boy, he has written his name all thru the drawers in crayon.  I have all my tea cups safely away in the top and wine glasses and beautiful table cloths in the bottom, wine! in the right corner, table setting thingys in the top drawer and munchy has the bottom drawer as her junk food drawer, chips and bars and bikkies  We feel its important that she can have these things whenever she wants and chooses not to have them, it means she dosent crave them because they are the same as normal food for her, not treats, she hardley ever goes in there....

And of course our poster from old times.  We lived in a portacom, which Im sure is equivilent to a trailor home, this was 6 years ago, we were so free it was amazing, we worked in a mandarin orchard and only had the two of us to worry about, we spent alot of time playing pool at the pub, aahhh the old days xx

I posted about this picture here a while ago

So here is something to make for your kiddies, dont you just love the cross eyes!!

We took a twig and glued it into a block, painted the twig with glue and sprinkled on glitter.

You can hang or glue other bits to your tree like paper or leaves but we put beads on the end of the branches..To make spring blossoms you can scrunch up bits of tissue paper to look like flowers and hot glue gun on...

And I have a thankyou to send out too

It is to Theresa from 'Faerie Moon Creations', she has been helping me understand blogger a bit better, I have been finding it really hard to reply to the comments you leave but now with my new set up, EVERY comment will be replied to privately, I was going around it a very time consuming way or generally not getting there at all, I wasent being rude, just had no idea how this thing works!! 

so thankyou Theresa for making me a better more polite thankful blogger.

Well its now 8.30 am on a Saturday and we are off to Nana's to pick Guava's to make Guava Jelly for our family and friends.  As well as involving Munchy in her first Dye mission, we have an abundance of petticoats to get thru today.  Lots planned for the girls, looks like dads going surfing!!!

Have a wonderful weekend
