Relocating

Well we have had a wirlwind few weeks here, just over a week ago hubby applied for a new job, last week he had an interview and found out he had the job(this happened within a few days of applying). The condition of this new job is that we will have to move and live on site ...so with that we are packing up our family home and shifting 40km from town. Oh my!! the work involved with moving and I've just started , the last time we moved was over 10 years ago, we were just married and didn't own much and had no children. Oh and I forgot to mention I didn't have a scrapbooking obsession. I have just spent the last 2 days going through my STUFF and have not yet scratched the surface...HHHMMMM!! so it's cleanup and throw out time !!

So things will be a bit quiet around here while we relocate, see you all on the other end of this move!! :)

I so love this pattern from The Cottage Mama , I received my pattern  in the week so late last night got to work ~ not a great idea when your tired! This is what I came up with. I'm pleased with how it turned out.

My little girl loved it to

Who will it be??

Who will receive these christmas hearts? This is what I have been working on this week, I joined 2 Christmas swaps one at Clares Craftroom the other at The Haby Goddess. I know who will be receiving one parcel the other is still a mystery!!

These swaps proved to be quite tough. I just couldn't think of  what to make, you see I almost never create any sort of Christmas craft. so after much deliberation and lots of hours browsing online, this is what my swap partners will be receiving.
