I am addicted to......

MAGAZINES

This is only a new thing for me...but if I see a HANDMADE, CREATIVE, ECO FRIENDLY, BEAUTIFUL magazine, i either subscribe or purchase it.

Have you seen this one?



As most of you know, I do not have a creative bone in my body...we are assuming that it skipped a generation!
BUT when I look through magazines like this one, my creative juices somehow start flowing through my veins.
Do you think anything ever eventuates from it? NOPE...time is a massive pointer for me...LACK OF IT...
That is why I love The Handmade Expo and Handmade Heaven...it is my creative outlet to buy buy buy....

Thanks for tuning in.

First Handmade Heaven PARTY ever...here we come!

Hi Everyone.

As most of you would have read a couple of months ago, I have decided to give Handmade Heaven parties are go. Take Handmade Heaven to your home....Like party plan, but different...Purchases are made on the day (cash or eftpos/credit card) and orders may be taken. So, you actually walk away with your purchases...which feels much nicer than waiting for an order. Don't you think?

My wonderful Sister, Micky has been generous enough to host the first one at her house. The invitations have gone out and now it is my turn to work my magic.

There will be close to 30 women in one space shopping from a home. This sounds like HEAVEN...well, Handmade Heaven actually.

So, I just wanted to share this with you. If you are interested in hosting a Handmade Heaven party, please scoot me an email to handmadeheaven@optusnet.com.au
