CHOCOLATE ORDERS

I have just confirmed pricing for orders on chocolate. I am happy to take orders from anyone who is happy to pick up from my place, or wherever I have the order sent to. Keep in mind I won't be able to post interstate due to the weather, but if you live in Sydney Metro I can arrange a same day courier, but again, I am not sure I can guarantee they won't melt even just a little!! All are cadbury chocolate and premium quality. The milk and dark are NOT compound, but the white is, which is basically what white chocolate generally is. Anyway, here are the prices, e-mail me your orders and if you can be prompt with payment that would be appreciated:)

White buttons $7/kg

Milk buttons $7/kg

Dark buttons $8/kg

PAPERGLITTER.COM

This is the first of product reviews for the christmas season. I want to share with you some great products from sellers who create there own products. Some sellers I have purchased from and others I want to or wish to!!! This time I want to introduce you to Linette of Paperglitter. I discovered paperglitter on ETSY, one of my all time favourite websites. Linnette's designs and paper crafts are bright, funky and cute. Linette is a toy maker/designer by day and a paper crafter by night! She has designed many toys for commercial lines such as My Little Pony, Smurfs, Littlest Pet Shop, Puppy In My Pocket, Hello Kitty and more. You can find her designs at her BLOG and her FlickR.

Linette has covered all the occasions, whether is be a party, christmas, halloween, thanks giving, or just because. One of the advantages about her printables is the short time it takes to recieve them and once you have them, they are yours to print and use as many times as you like. I've purchased many designs from her and my most recent was the halloween collage sheet. I used them for a halloween party I had for my kids. They made my loot bags and invitations look very cute and very unboring!!

Linette's latest releases are her christmas crafts. You will find:

collage sheets

christmas basket

Christmas table setting kit

Santa's Snackshop stationary

Gift wrapping kit

All her items are great for christmas cards and craft ideas that you can do with your children and as a primary(elementary) school teacher, these would make the most perfect and unique christmas crafts/gifts and your students will love you for it! Her printables start at only $3USD and as your items are sent via e-mail that is all you pay. You will also find some FREE downloads at her BLOG. See her Etsy store for the full range.

Its been a while

Well, yes it has been a wee while since I have posted something. I went away to Melbourne and seemed to like being away, even though we came home. I just wanted to have a break from things for a little while. I also got some teaching work. I am working 2 days a week at a special needs school in Beaumont Hills, and while I absolutely love everyday of it, its rather tiring and takes a lot of emotional strength as well. But I have got into a bit of a routine now and I feel I can get back to this and some other things I have been wanting to do.

So I should tell you about COSTCO, my current favourite place to shop, even though its in Melbourne and I live in Sydney. I absolutely LOVED IT! I can't wait for it to come to here. Being a family of 6 we really need a place like this to go to every month or so. It just makes sense to get it all in the one go! I did manage to make some purchases and stuff it in our car! I won't give a full list, but all I can say is if you live in Melbourne and haven't been down to Docklands, you should make the trip! All your food storage needs are waiting for you there:)You do have to pay a yearly membership but after a shop or two it is worth it. I have a couple of photos but can't locate my USB connector(typical!) so when I do I shall load them up.

I am currently working on a food storage plan for 2010. I will get my hubby to make a hyperlink thingy to a pdf file when its finished so it can be downloaded and printed for your own use. I have some really great ideas up my sleeve which I will start in 2010. I will also be doing some product reviews for christmas, cheapy and creative things that are perfect for the festive seasons. So stay in touch:)
