celebrationaries....


guess what?
this is my 400th post

yep its the double bi-centenary!
(what a week of celebrations)

to everyone who has dropped by here over the 400 posted thoughts
I've got to say a huge TARRRRRRR!
(sams creek for 'thanks') 

 and to everyone who has sent kind thoughts 
in person or in other mediums over the last few days for all the 'other' momentous things
more thanks on thanks (tarrr tarrrr!)

I feels the lurve

On my studio open day I printed a heap of little tags on the C&P
to give to the kiddies at the school....




ps if you'd like - I'll send one to you too (its just a little something)..... 

and for a couple of you, my bloggy friends, 
how about I send you one of my little limited edition zines - like this or this ?

or how about

one of these?



drop me a note

and 'something' will be wheeling its way to your door 
in two shakes of a lambs tail**

updated update!


today - thurs 17th I'm popping an armload of envelopes in the mail
 with tags and zines about to fly off to far flung places - 
from Iceland to America... and just down road
wheeeeeeee!
(hope those who got their postals to me in time enjoy the teeny tiny treats)
xxxxx




** in the off chance that I'm inundated by requests 
I suppose I should put a teeny bit of fine print here saying 
'limited to the first 25 respondents'

there. done.

 earlier in the morn I took some pics as I fussed with things...


 under the eaves

in the studio...


 and in the garden...


then the hordes arrived...



and... welllllll I forget all about pictures!



big thanks to Cobargo P&C (foooooood) 

to Annie D (Cobargo Primary's amazing principal) 

my wonderful mum & dad 
(when one is having an open day its important to have clean windows.... so saith so doeth my parents!)

to everyone who came (yay to you!) 
most particularly to a couple of my dear *old* friends who travelled a stoooopidly long way
(kisses to you all)

and most of all (even though they don't ever read the blog) 
biggest love to Sass and EJ (who worked so hard for little kidlets...) 
and to Phil - without whose HUGE effort and support this wouldn't have happened 




it was a wonderful and memorable day.....
