Christmas in July 2009

I know I am going a bit backwards with the dates of events a bit but I have just gone through some of my photos and have realised that I really need to do some serious blogging!!! I have been so busy getting Angel Ave ready that I have neglected to add some other things... I've also neglected family, friends, house work and so many other things.. for all that I appoligise!!! I will begin to get around-to-it all now that 'Angel Ave' is nearly ready... Bring on the Shed Warming Party.. And I will be announcing some more classes soon too.. as I am able to design them now.. In 'Angel Ave'... truly "where Creative Dreams come true!!!"

So Back to Christmas in July... This is what all the lovely ladies who attended made.. 5 beautiful cards and one decorated tin all designed around 1/2 a packet of I Wish Scrappin Kit (pg 137 Aus & NZ 2009-2010 Idea Catalogue) then there was enough card stock etc to creat another 15 cards at home...
Christmas in July Cards in a Box Class 2009It was a lovely day.. Lots of hard work but well worth it...

The preperation before hand was huge!!! I had been waiting on 'Angel Ave' foundations to be laid for nearly 8 weeks... The rain was holding it all up.. not that i was unhappy with the rain becaues it was breaking the LONG Drought we have had for the past few years... But I knew I had at least 8 to 10 ladies attending Christmas in July.. I thought 2 and one half months would be ample time to get the studio ready.. I resigned myself to the fact that Angel Ave would at least be errected with walls and electricity!! The Friday before hand I had Peter the Plumber, Ben the Plasterer, Paul the Landscaper and Tony the Electrician running around making sure that everything would be finished so I could fit all my wonderful ladies in... Comfortably... I felt soooooo spoiled!!! Tony made a joke that no one in the aera was having any work done that day cause everyone was at my house... hehe...
Renos to the Studio
I had to take a photo of all the Tradies vehicles out side our house!!! It was exciting times...

Dichroic Glass Jewellery Class

As PaperANGELS we get together for other occasions.. Not just paper craft events...
We had the opportunity in July (2009) to attend a Dichroic Glass class... There was 4 PaperANGELS (Liz, Kathy, Amanda & myself- Bec unfortunately was not able to come.. bummer.. we missed you Bec) and Friends and Neighbours... I think I have found a new craft to become addicted to.. This is my second class and I believe that I may just grow attached to it... and passably even get better at it... One can only hope...
Dichroic Jewellery Class CollageI took my camera but forgot to take photos till after everyone was almost finished.. Hence the reason why Kathy features in most of the photos.. as she was the only one left making the peices when I whipped out the camera... But she is such a beautiful subject!!!
 B4 firing our Dichroic Glass Jewellery These are some of the unfired peices I managed to take photos of...
Cool After ClassAfter the class some of us went to The Manley Yacht Club and had a hot Drinks and DELICIOUS cakes etc.. It was soooooooooo COLD so some of us wrapped up with the devine Green blanckets... mmmm mmm mmm

And a few days later we were able to pick our peices up... They had been fired and fused together in the Kiln... LOVELY!!! I think our beginners did a BRILLIANT job.. infact I LOVE some of theirs better than mine... Well done girls... It was a lovely day...

New Spring Mini Catalogue Launch

Well it was almost 2 weeks ago now... But eventually I get A ROUND to it!!!

Leonie had booked my Studio "Angel Ave" for the day on the first of August... And since it was a Saturday I and the first day of the launch I said to her that i would like to hold a launch and asked her if she would like to hold hers with me too.. seeings that a few of her customers would already be here... So we teamed up and had a blast...
New Spring Mini Catalogue Launch 2009 in my studio
Leonie's Christmas Stamp and Stack Class went really well.. And it was kind of weird for me to not be in there... (Angel Ave).. Not that she did not want me there just that it was her class and there was not much I could do to help once we had set things up...


Which by the way things looked GREAT!!! We did a really good job.. And my PINK feature wall is a WOW!!
Display boards for New Spring Mini Catalogue Launch 2009
At 4 to 6pm we had a nice little get together with about 16 customers... We had punch (to drink) and nibblies and we talked a little about the Spring Mini.. We offered some FABULOUS specials for the ladies attending on the day...



And we made this wonderful Walk in the Park DSP Make and take.. Make and Take - Punch Art BagsIt was a lovely time had by all...

And 2 of my customers won some prizes.. Yeah!!! How luck are you guys???

Kristy... new to Stampin... Brought along by Adelle.. thanks for bringing a friend love!!! Won a lucky door prize which was her very own stamp set.. So i was able to help her set her first stamp set...Kristy is on the Left.. Adelle in the Middle and Erin on the right...
My beautiful mischief Monkeys.. hehe..Lisa Marj and Robyn...

And Robyn won the raffle.. which was an awesome walk in the park coordinated pack!!! Yeah team!!! See it pays to hang back for the prize.. it's called POSITIVE thinking and visualisation!!!

Leonie's customer Carla won the other lucky door prize... (sorry Carla i did not get a photo)

Angel Ave was a hit even though it was just barely set up... It has been such a work in progress but so well worth it!!!




After the event we tidied up a little and took a couple of photos of ourselves.. as you do.. hehe...




Then unbeknown to me Leonie and Liz had organised a pre shed warming... And invited the PaperANGELS team over for a social.. eats and a HUGE surprise for me!!!.. Yeah.. I was sooooooooo Surprised!!! They came sneaking in around 7.20pm ish..
Wheeling the FANTASTIC Ribbon rack!!!
Now that's a RACK!!! Ohhhhhhh how lovely.. I was almost crying!!! Thanks girls!!! Much love to you all!!!
Love to have you all (customers friends and neighbours) come over to check out Angel Ave...
