I'd like to wish everyone a very happy festive season!! Eat, drink, be merry and all that!
Thank- you all so much for reading my little blog. It's been a wonderful year. Your support means the world to me and is greatly appreciated! :)
I will be taking a break and will return with updates on January 9. Looking forward to getting stuck into some new and exciting projects in the new year!
Anyway, I might just wander off now and sleep for a week.
Toodles.

Some very cute things over at Oh Leander.

I spotted Happy Lab recently at Chadstone Shopping Center and was immediately enticed by the cute packaging and creative store design. Beakers and test tubes filled with colourful candy and chocolate line the walls whilst staff parade around in lab coats. If the sugar doesn't make you happy, the colours surely will. Don't you just love great packaging?

So, what has everyone got planned for the holiday break? On the very
top of my list are activities that involve minimal thinking and couch
appreciation.
We're also looking forward to Sukie's very first trip to the
beach and enjoying other dog-friendly excursions. I'm certain there will
also
be much merriment over various BBQs with friends, regular meltings in
the summer heat and excessive chocolate consumption. (I've come to the
conclusion that it is impossible to avoid sugar overload during the
holidays so this year I'm not even going to try.)

But before I get ahead of myself, there is still much to be done. As
usual, I have left everything to the absolute last minute. Next
week will be a flurry of gift making, packaging and shopping- oh my.

Anyway, please enjoy these gift tags that I've designed for you- Hope
they help you with your last minute gift projects.

I'm a huge sucker for both dogs and cute pillows and I think this pillow collection from cloud7 is super adorable.

Currently smiling over these letterpress "Flanno" cards by The Hungry Workshop. (They do some very nice work). You can buy them individually or in a set of four in their online shop.
Oh, and for something more strictly holiday related you might also like their Here's Cheers card.
