Handstamped Necklace - Yes Please!
I need one of these. I want it immediately, but I'm going to restrain myself until baby #2 comes along. Might be a bit cheeky to stamp the wrong initial now, wouldn't it? I wonder if they will stamp their birth dates on the back, too? Like it? You can find this cute necklace, and others, here.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Easter Trees
Last year I made an Easter tree and hung handmade felt birds on it, as seen in the first pic. In my search to show you some other great Easter trees I found out that the concept originated in Germany. "Osterbaum", the German name for Easter trees, are usually made out of the cut branches of pussy willow or other flowering bushes which are brought into the house and placed in vases. They are then decorated with hand painted wooden eggs, or hollowed out real eggs.
Also, the small living trees and bushes that are already planted around the outside of the house are often decorated with plastic, wooden or real painted eggs and wreaths. How fantastic!
Have a sweet day!
exciting feature!
The lovely Joanne - features editor - from the Herald Sun Home magazine contacted me a couple of weeks ago asking if she could do a feature on the dolls house I re-modeled for our girls as well as the fabric wall art I made for my creative space.
It was wonderful to meet her today & I am looking forward to seeing the feature articles sometime soon. I will be sure to let you all know when the articles will be in print. You may want to spruce up your blogs & online stores - as my blog will be mentioned - so all followers & links via my blog will no doubt be clicked upon!
Easter Bunnies
Easter for me is not complete without a few bunnies around! Last year my sweet friends bought me the ceramic bunny from Pottery Barn and he sat on my Easter table. This year I have ordered the decorative bunnies from Tchibo to keep it company!

Seven Today
Today is our precious angel in heaven Laura's seventh birthday.
Seems like just yesterday but then again it feels like a lifetime ago that she entered our life.
This morning as we were getting ready for school I said to the girls "Guess whose birthday it is today". Sienna answered "I know it is Laura's birthday". Sofia says "which Laura (as we know a couple of Laura's)" and Sienna answer "you know, Laura in heaven, our sister". Sofia then says "oh mummy can we go to heaven and see her and have a party". "No we can't go to heaven to see her but we will go to her special place and take balloons and presents".
I am so pleased that my girls see her as an important part of our family. Sienna will always include here in her drawings of the family and talks about her all the time.
I vividly remember the deep hole I was in just 7 short years ago after we lost Laura and I could not imagine how life would ever recover. I am so grateful that I was able to go on have 3 more beautiful and healthy girls who have made that recovery so so sweet. While we will never forget Laura life has gone on to be just wonderful and she will act as our reminder of just how wonderful life with our girls is.
Here are some photos of us this afternoon at "Laura's Place" leaving special gifts and importantly smiling as we remember her.
