Giveaway happening...

Hi everyone...

So sorry that I wasn't able to post the photos of the cards I created on wednesday. I've been a bit sidetracked by my facebook page. I decided to host a giveaway when I hit 50 'likers' and boy did that come around faster than I expected...so exciting! Because of the response I've had, I've decided to have 2 giveaway prizes.

The first prize is:

-2 large cards
-2 small cards
-2 small gift bags!

   

The second prize is:

-1 large card
-2 small cards
-2 small gift bags!  

All you have to do it comment on my status that says 'We've hit 50 'likers' and you're on your way!  The giveaway ends Saturday night at 6pm.

Here are some cards I made over the last few days...

Getting into my room..

Morning,

I feel today has been a very productive day around the home...gardening, cleaning, mopping...so that means I have a lot of motivation to get into my room and create while the boys sleep. I love this weather too...overcast, cool...real 'Kate's Corner' weather! In 15 mins, I'll be putting the little ones to bed and heading to my corner...

Thought I'd show you Kate's Corner. It's now a room instead of just a corner, but I work in a corner of the room. I decided not too clean it for the photo...wanted to show you what it looks like on any given day. It's usually messy...I think I work best with things EVERYWHERE! Don't know why that is..

I'll blog tomorrow showing you what I created today...

Oh and I finally found a way to out a link on my blog to my facebook page. Check it out!

Finally made the move...

Hi everyone...

Well, I've finally decided to create a facebook page for Kate's Corner. I'm not sure how to link the FB page to this post so if you'd like to check it out, type Kate's Corner into search on your facebook and it should come up. Once a certain amount of people have joined I'll be hosting a giveaway!

Starting from scratch...

As you can see I've changed the look of my blog a bit...not sure about it yet. Maybe it'll grow me.

Since being sick I've had strict instruction from my husband to rest. It's a little easier said than done with 3 little children needing to be looked after too but I've done the best that I can to rest. I was even told that if I touched the washing..."You will seriously be dead" so I haven't gone there.

So when the boys are all settled in playing I've been heading to my 'corner' to create. It's amazing how much time one card can take to complete. I think it surprises Josh some times how much time I send in my 'corner' and then see how little cards I've made. BUT I'm very happy with what I've achieved so far. It's actually really fun to start my card stock again. I even found myself dreaming of what to design during my sleep last night.

As I have pretty much no cards and a VERY special wedding on this Saturday I won't be attending The Handmade Expo BUT if you're free and looking for something exciting to do, I would encourage you to check it out! Oh and take cash...and lots of it! There are so many great things to buy there. Check out their blog for details and view some of the stalls they have there.

Holidays..

Morning!

Holidays have kind of come to an end here in the Mansfield home, though Ethan doesn't go back to school until Thursday. Josh went back to work this morning after having a 2 week holiday. You've got to love the amount of holidays school teachers get...12 weeks in a year!!! It's been an interesting, exhausting and exciting 2 weeks for us. In the first week we were all suppose to be on a soccer camp for 1 week but by Tuesday morning I was my way home with 3 sick children. Josh stayed up there as he had responsibilities on camp. It was very tiring and I take my hat off to single parents. We had a few doctors appointments during the week but pretty much stayed at home and rested. On the Thursday of that week I had a VERY EXCITING email arrive...

It's a LONG story so I'll make it short. An owner of a little boutique on the south coast of NSW was shown a few of my cards from one of my customers. She emailed me asking for the largest order of cards I have EVER had. It totally made my day...my week...probably even my YEAR! I was so excited! So this meant that all my cards are GONE! My shelves are bare...

But that's fine cause it means I need more stock, which then means I get to shop! Woohoo!

Another thing I've been working on are place cards for my girlfriends wedding. By the end of it I was having cramps in my left hand and had little blisters on the sides of my fingers BUT I loved it all!


Well...today it's my turn to go to the doctors. Hopefully I can kick this 'thing' before the wedding on Saturday. Josh is the only one who is well-ish so he's been working hard caring for all of us and our home. I love my husband!
