<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I use paper for my scrapping of course, and the fabric?? well most of the time I buy it and just look at it... sometimes its just too pretty to cut up... but once I do and use it in a quilt I am so happy with the results...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been a fan of Simone and Jodys' blog for a long time, and now they have released an online store that my little credit card is going to get a workout from right </span><a href="http://www.fabrictraders.com.au/shop/ele-cozy-pink-by-premier-prints-338"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">here</span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They are also doing a giveaway where you had to pick your fav fabric from the new store...OK so this sounds easy right?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thats what I thought about an hour ago... drooling on the keyboard at all the gorgeous fabrics... yep thats my fav...no hang on this one...oh but look at that one... sooooo many to choose from..</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> But I chose this one.. cute little elephants...crisp and clean but oh so cuuuute. I have the perfect little spot for these dudes to sit... once I turn them into a cushion...hope they dont mind...</span><br />

Being surrounded by all her boys...six..yep six of them.... imagine feeding six boys!! Don't worry... she manages quite well by locking herself in her little scrap room to create masterpieces and then throwing out some food every now and then to let them fight over it and to keep them from gnawing through the door to leave her to create...I know that is what happens because how else could she do soooo many LO's?? survival of the fittest over at her abode... anyway back to the point..... she has created this pinker than pink stunning LO of herself as a child full of flowers and butterflies and lots of my goodies featured <a href="http://zingaszoo.blogspot.com/2011/10/zz-shop-new-products.html">here</a>.

Yes ... it does look like a weird kind of flying shark thingo ... but if you squint your eyes really tight and tilt your head to the left ... you should give an image of "Toothless" the Night Fury from the movie "how to Train Your Dragon. {see images below..} I'm telling you ... my kitchen and myself was covered in blue black icing by the end of it - I thought it would be a simple task - get the sponge cake cut to size ... assemble the cake together with the icing and ice then decorate with the YELLOW jelly beans {that got eaten as soon as the kiddlywinks arrived home... so we had to change to orange..} easy right...WRONG!!! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The sponge cake left crumbs every time I dragged the spatula over the cake to ice it... then I had to completely seal all the cake so it would stay fresh ...by midnight... I didn't want to see icing ever again and got hubby to clean up the mess...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">OH... and the mouth wouldn't stay open as to the blue prints I was given for the cake - so I had to stuff ... no cram the mouth open with lollies just so you could see the teeth... </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">But as you can see by the look on his little face, the effort was well worth it, he loved it and had a wonderful time with all his friends at the play centre...</span></div><br />

We certainly did. Melbourne played up like a hormonal teenager and Saturday was cold and miserable - but perfect for our Christmas In July party ... little bit too much food and red wine but it was great fun... only every time someone else showed up at our door, the kids were hoping there would be presents involved!! so they didn't quite get the whole concept!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then yesterday was an absolutely perfect day - warm and sunny ... go figure!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
