Driving Miss Tilly

We took a long trip today, well not really long but we drove to deliver 2 of our Easter Orders to some dear friends and new customers....
It was nice to see their reaction in person as I handed them my creations.....as any creator knows you are always hesitant and hopeful as to what the recipient is going to think of your creation...the girls were happy, PHEW!!! I was able to post the pics of their creations when I got home, been waiting to for ages!! But I like them to be a surprise even if they know what they are getting, its still a little bit individual each time I make them and I love that part of this job!!!

Got another idea today.....friend of mine suggested making baby shower packs....A fellow WAHM orders my boxes to put her awesome baby product in-so I guess I could do a small baby shower gift box with organic baby creams and wipes and maybe something for the mum2be aswell like a massage oil for labour or something......

Need a new notepad to jot down....my order book is filling up and I use the front for my ideas lol...

This weekend I am creating a few bunny boxes for Junglebumz Nappies, to make her baby shower gift packs..very excited about this its a wonderful business to support and Im happy to be a part!

cookies should be done this week so I'll be able to post off the cookie orders, very excited and anxious about that...lol.....

Also this week I want to get the Mothers Day boxes done for DS school stall...Im donating 2 boxes I think...great promo for me as long as he doesn't come home with one of my boxes lol...

Hope you all have a great weekend...

I'll do a giveaway next week I think, who would like to win a personalised placemat? Thats a great new product that I really like....

until next time..............
same party time
same party channel...

Wednesday Wednesday

Been flat out the past few days...btwn playdates and volunteering at DS school and collecting Easter Orders Ive been flat out!! Oops I said that twice lol see I am busy!So busy in fact that I havent yet organised Easter presents for my own children! DS usually gets pjs from the Easter Bunny and choccys and little toys in his hand decorated shoe box ( a family tradition I started, as when I was a kid I had a shoe box for my easter basket so being crafty mum that I am I decided he would decorate his...every year from about 2 he adds something to it...We'll start little Miss's off this year with some hand prints I think....will post pics when I do it) dont know what to get DD, she is only going to be 11 months so maybe one little egg and some pjs and a bunny....
I am loving the Easter creations that are coming out of my little table workshop,they look so cute I hope the customers are happy with them!
Ive just finalised detail of my new logo...official logo....very exciting...cant wait to make stickers and business cards etc etc...will be able to reveal once it is completed!
Facebook fans will get the first peep so make sure you are a fan!!!
I actually stayed away from dear old fb for the morning today and went out got some products for some orders (got a possible baby shower for 30 in June and I'm doing some samples for some favour bags/boxes for the sis of the mummy2 be....there gonna be soooo cute!!!!
I managed to tidy the house that the tornado hit (monday and tuesday's DS has afterschool activities so we dont get a thing done thosenights lol) ready to be trashed again and my fl0ors are baby ready again!!!
Hope you're all having a lovely day, I'd like more ppl to come over before I do a competition, I have to go read the FB rules for linking ppl to this blog for comps.
Have a good afternoon all!!
Ive included a pic (if it works this time) of a baby naming box Idea I had..simple but yet very effective......could include choccies, lollies or even the candle and poem from my baby shower bags...nah pic didnt work sorry guys will try to add it later

Ideas Woman

Well I've got so many ideas flowing around I dont know where to start!!
Just made some new Party Placemats, a friend suggested it and what a cute idea to have for each child a personalised placemat to take with them, and reasonably priced too! I got some for my nephews from a label company and they turned out like laminated printed pics, and I thought "i could have made those and saved $14.95 each!!!" Also made some little place cards....there is a whole new package I could offer with placemats and placecards and table settings.....

I want to bring as many fans over from fb so I can have another draw- I'd love to give away a personalised placemat that would be awesome...Im not sure if I can announce on fb to come over to my giveaway..will have to research.
anyway, tell your friends there is lots more fun to come yet..

Logo is nearly completed too....just finalising the last details with Nat and its looking awesome!! Cant wait to get some 'real' stickers and cards made up...
busy day as always..have a good one!!

Rain Rain Go Away


Well, up with the sparrows again today!! Now the little cherub is back down to sleep and the bigger one is glued to the tv, its the perfect time to get crafty!!! I'd really love to go to the markets in a week or 2 and take some Easter boxes premade, I wonder how they would sell?

I'd like to do a giveaway shortly too....perhaps some vouchers??

The other half is not working weekends anymore for now so he will be at home too, I really feel like going thru the kids rooms and especially getting rid of a few things from DS room...he has way toooooooo much stuff..he is a hoarder like me lol...

Well I hope you all enjoy this wet day and the rest of your weekend...

Stay tuned for my giveaway...any suggestions on how I should go about it? Since we cant do them on Facebook anymore Im not sure how to do it via the blog?
Perhaps just a question answer? Or random draw?

Your thoughts appreciated..

Busy Little Bee


So we're still trying to get motivated this morning....have a few orders to finish up which now dont need to be done til next week, but I'd like to get them done so I can get cracking on the Easter cookies boxes....so excited I really hope everyone loves them, its great to have a partnership with my former SIL who is making the cookies.....means I get to be back in touch with her again which is fantastic!!
After another mad morning of before school rush we get home and I aim to get some exercise in before little cherub wakes and I can get some more work done before getting into the house again....didn't I just clean you yesterday? LOL
So many ideas running in my mind I need a little assistant with notepad to jot them down for me...just need to teach the baby to do that lol....
Excited about Mothers Day coming up, no only does my little girl turn one that week but Im going to be donating some boxes for the school mothers day stall, with goodies inside..
stay tuned for those on my page I'll be listing some up for sure.....
Not 100% what will go in them, but for the school ones I thought I'd put some bath bomb/bath salts a candle and some moisturiser, just from cheap shop as I'll be donating them, but for my boxes to sell I might get some Avon products...they are reasonably priced and oh so nice (I used to be an Avon lady lol)
Im also excited about my first Face Painting Gig in April, need to get DS to model some for me so I can get a folder together of pics of faces I can do...plus I havent done it since working in a centre which is over 2 years ago now...
Well dear reader...I am off for another day....
Hope you all have a lovely weekend..stay tuned for some giveaways next week and dont forget to share the love and suggest your friends....
I leave you with a sneaky peek at some personalised bags I did which are for a current order...they came out so well Im so pleased....
