p.s - hope you all had a lovely weekend! my camera charger has run away so i haven't been able to take any photos... boo!

what i achieved...

i was listening to the radio on my way to work on wednesday morning and they were saying that because of the super long weekend everyone should have 'achieved' something. in a weekend spent predominatly at home, this got me thinking about what i acheived...

*baked a killer batch of gingerbread hearts. packaged them up and dropped some to my sister and some to this lovely lady

*remembered the ANZACS at a dawn service

*started preparing for the Vintage Sheet FQ Swap

*spent some quality time with the hubby

*found my crafting mojo again (it may have had something to do with all that gorgeous fabric around my house)

*planted vegies

*listed a few goodies on ebay

*walked the dog

*got caught in the rain (that counts as an achievement right?)

*found some time to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life... just what i needed.

based on my lazy weekend... i consider myself an over achiever. it was bliss.

some pretty in my mailbox...

about a month ago (i know... im a bit behind) i received the loveliest little parcel in my mailbox! Micaela over at Dolce Vita hosted a giveaway and i was the lucky winner!!! I nearly didn't enter because i thought that there was no way i would be that lucky... :) it came right in the middle of marking season and made my whole week! As well as the goodies pictured above, there was also a fabulous mix c.d that has been on repeat in my car and a mug which has been in use since it arrived! Thank you SO much Micaela!

Micaela might just be the sweetest lady in all of blog land - you should definately pop over and visit her charming blog!

p.s - i hope you have all had a lovely easter/ANZAC day long weekend!

Tomorrow is the last day that you can get your FQ's in the mail... and since tomorrow is a public holiday your last day is TODAY!

I am hoping to have them all sorted by next weekend and back in your craft rooms within two weeks... wish me luck :)!!

I thought it might be lovely for you to e-meet some of the other swappers involved in this.

a swap update

Hi to all my lovely readers and sheet swappers...

This is just a quick little blog post to give you an update on the sheet swap progress. As the numbers for people signed up to participate in the sheet swap has exceeded 50 i have decided to close it to anymore sign ups. apologies to any of you who were still hoping to sign up in the next few weeks. My reasons for doing this is largely so i can concentrate on doing a good job of organising and distributing the 1000+ FQ's that people will be sending in over the next few weeks rather than this getting so big that i will be unable to manage the swap effectively. You will still have until april 22 to post your fat quarters...

If you have not received an email from me and you have signed up then please leave a comment on this post with your EMAIL ADDRESS!

I am starting to receive some lovely fat quarters in the mail which is SO exciting! i will post a few pics tomorrow so you can start getting excited too...

Thanks for understanding this :)
You are all fabulous! Kellie xx
