Alana Monet,

Happy Birthday Alana!

Eleven years ago today I became a sister because you came into the world, into my life, into my arms. You were so cute and little, I was the happiest and the most excited I have ever been! Ever since I was a little girl I longed to have a little sister like you!

When I first looked down at you, I held you in awe. I knew you were special. My passion for art, my joy for you a part of your life always, when I gave you your second name 'Monet'.

I love you! Your are a perfect little sister and a beautiful little girl, you are so kind hearted, generous and gorgeous, life is beautiful with you in it, my sister, my best friend.

I hope your eleventh year is all you imagined it to be!

With hugs and kisses and magical wishes, love always and forever

Presents.

This year for Christmas I decided to make something more personal for my friends and family. Which kept me very busy! I did a total of 27 Profiles! Everyone received a personal astrology/numerology framed picture, including their date of birth, a specially designed picture along with 3 special key words, a profile descriptor of their positive traits and personality, with a PANTONE colour guide specially designed for the individual! The picture above is the Profile I did for my friend Stacey. Her colour Is 'Evergreen', PANTONE 3292C. Her 3 keywords are; Solid, Creator & Contemplative. 

On Christmas night, I did a fun little cook up with my two little sisters, Alana & Renee. We made little tea cups and saucers for Santa! so that he would leave the girls lots of nice presents in the morning. The girls loved making these and they were so simple to make ( which is even better!) they shared the rest of the teacups with the rest of the family Christmas day and they were a huge success - everyone loved them! (see below for recipe)

Little Teacups & Saucers

What you will need:

1. packet of Tick Tock biscuits  1 packet of Marshmallows

1 packed of Allen's Chocolate Freckles 1 packed of Musk Life savers. 

1 tube of cake decorating icing

Method:

Carefully cut each of the Lifesaver rings in half (adult only), then you use the Cake decorating Icing around the bottom of a marshmallow. Proceed to place the Marshmallow icing side down onto a Tick Tock biscuit- creating the saucer & the cup. ( the icing will act to bind them together). Then place the Chocolate Freckle on the top of the marshmallows, using icing to bind, which created the frothy top of the tea cup. Lastly place icing on both ends of the half Musk live saver, then carefully position on the side of the marshmallow forming he handle for your tea cup. 

Christmas presents!

I'm sharing with you these adorable 2 little toys I bought at the North Sydney market from 'mococo & poppet'. One for each of my sisters for Christmas this year! The black poka dot, button eye monster bear for my littlest sister Renee. While the cute little sausage dog is for Alana ( she absolutely adores dogs in every shape and form- even her first toy as a bub was a plush pup!) I think they will love them.... I know I do! The rest of the family are all getting the same present this year- just tailored to the particular person. I won't go into too much detail because my family also read this!
