16th Of Feb...Never a good news day

Well it appears that no good news comes our way on Feb 16th....

Two years ago today I rushed my little man to hospital lifeless, as it turned out we were told he was type 1 diabetic, he would be insulin dependent for life. Although it has changed our life dramatically it has not hindered it and we do what is needed to get by, but today's date and the emotion I felt on that day 2 years again never leaves my mind, it still brings me to tears thinking about it.

But today another blow to our family, Hubby went to work today as normal only to return home at 9am with the news that his company has gone into administration and he and 499 other employees no long have employment and there is no money to pay them any entitlements etc... So with me not working and now him, I may soon have to face the fact that we my loose our dream home. But I have not given up hope yet, my SU business is still making me some money and I will not give into the bad news day that we have come to know as Feb 16th. I am teaching a class tonight and I am determine to enjoy it.

Thanks for reading,
Til next time....Happy Stamping...

Stampin' Up! to donate 50% of stamp sales of selected sets to Victorian Bushfire Appeal

Many of us have been affected by the bushfire's in some way, whether it be personally or just though seeing the devastation on the news, but Stampin' Up!® has come up with a way we can all contribute to the appeal. I am pleased to announce that Stampin' Up! will be donating 50% of sales of selected stamp sets to the bushfire victims. For full details on how you can help view my website here

Exciting News......

One is that my baby girl is 10 months old today..OMG where has the time gone? I had better start preparations for her 1st Birthday, really soon.

But the big news is I have a website.. Beyond Ink..

So, what are you waiting for?? Go and check it out here and tell me what you think. It is still in the creating stage, I still have to upload photo's to the gallery, but I plan on doing this over the next few days, its a slow process as I first have to actually take picture's.

But the plan is to have all of my Stampin'Up!® over there and then I will probably still use this blog to keep you all up to date with the family etc.

I am off to do a bit more playing with the site, so until next time..

Happy Stampin'

Am I bad or what???

I think I have to be the worst blogger around.....
I know its been ages since I posted, but life has just been madness over the past few months, but I am hopping that 2009 is going to be a better year all round.

One of my new years resolution is to keep on top of blogging, so stay turned lets see if I can keep to my word this time. Hubby gave me a new laptop for Christmas so that got to make me want to come in here more often.

Now that Christmas is out of the way I have been focusing my energy on my Stampin'Up!® business, I have been planning some regular classes and get together's, that hopefully you will all enjoy. I am also researching the ins and out of a website so to me its all very exciting and I can wait to see when the creative SU journey is going to take me.

I am drafting my new years newsletter atm, so if you would like a copy, and want to stay upto date with everything Stamping Up, please sign up in the box on the right.

When I figure out how to edit my photos on this laptop I will share some of my latest creations..

until next time...keep smiling...

I am still alive...lol...
