had it's day

I've persisted with Typepad for quite sometime now but somehow it always frustrates me.

It's one of the better "off the shelf" blog tools out there don't get me wrong but for my needs it isn't doing it for me anymore. I don't have the time for a start to be writing mega long posts everytime and I somehow feel like it takes me a long time to log in create a new post sort out images write what I want to write....it just takes a long time. Ok, it's not that long but when you're busy it is.

I've decided to start using tumblr for my blog and hopefully my other website info too eventually.

Tumblr is great. I love the ease of posting and the options and possibilities within it. It just seems to be what I need right now. Simple. The best thing about tumblr is that it's free whereas typepad costs a bit every month.

This blog here will remain for a while yet but I won't be updating it from now on so change your bookmarks/links if you want to keep in touch.

Thanks Typepad, you've been great but it's time to move on.

I've just listed a new print in the shop.

free egg hunt cards

Hi folks, a little freebie for you to download and enjoy this Easter with your little ones.

I've been making some Easter egg hunt clue cards for Poppy & Lexie so that we can have a full on egg hunt this Sunday. Lexie is desperate, desperate, I tell you to do an egg hunt so I thought I'd whip them up before it gets too late. And, I thought I'd share them with you too!

I've put a little hole punch guide on the cards too just in case you want to tie them on to things with pretty ribbon, twine or string.

Have fun!

Ohhhhh, ahhhhhh, mmmmmmmmm.

I love what's inside the little black box of moo. Business cards. and all the other little details in the packaging.

in print

oh now haven't I been a bit slack? I haven't been keeping you all informed on what I have been busy doing. Well, I've been busy but there's kind of not that much to talk about really.

Apart from my poster is in the paper this week and I am mentioned on the City of Marion Council website as the competition winner! Eek!

Oh and my new business cards arrived today which are moo-tastic but its too dark to take pictures of them just now...I'll do that tomorrow.

Poppy had her immunisations today. One in each arm and one in her left leg. Ouch. Poor little thing was so distraught but that was soon remedied by a sweet strawberry school bar that I had lurking at the bottom of my bag and later, a pink jelly bean from the lady at the chemist which resulted in me being covered in sticky goo drool. Nice.

new cards coming

I ordered a few test cards from moo the other day and they look pretty good. The only thing is that shortly after I'd ordered them I got my new email address sorted out and then decided to change things on the website a little bit.

So I ordered a few new ones with updated details and design.

These are a few of the test cards which were really just for me to see what the print was like and the colours etc.

I'll take some better shots of the new ones when they arrive...these are a bit over exposed (and back to front) using the old photobooth.

green & yellow

I started work on a new and exciting little project today.

I have very kindly been given a child free day by my very lovely other half. It's unusual for me to have time by myself so I did swither about doing something just for me or do some work. I chose work. But I like my work so it is something for me. I forgot how nice it can be to do some work without interruption. To be honest it doesn't really matter what I'm doing..all that matters is that I'm here. Alone. Peace. Quiet.

This is just a snippet of the new project because I haven't quite finished it yet. Any one guess what this is all about?

All will be revealed soon.
