Hello! Wowzers! We are experiencing a heat wave during spring here in Australia. So I'm currently hiding indoors with the cool air conditioning. Which also makes for a good time to write a blog post and share with you what I have been loving and working on in a few photo snapshots.

A huge part of my craft making has been dedicated to the art and love of snail mail. I even wrote and designed a zine about it last year called Happy Mail Days.

Given my love for handmade correspondence, I was thrilled to see the love for snail mail being further spread around the globe with the new book release, Snail Mail by Michelle Mackintosh, published by Hardie Grant.

I'm also very excited to say and extremely honoured to have been included in this amazing publication profiled on the 'Pen Pal' pages and also having some of my mail featured on a few pages throughout the book - talk about a dream come true!

It's here! My new Happy Mail Day Zine is now available from my online shop!

Alert snail mail lovers!!!

Happy Mail Day is your visual guide to
 decorating envelopes, mail art, making themed kits, handmade 
stationery, papercraft techniques, DIYs and penning a letter.

Also inside - A envelope template, seals and labels to make your own Happy Mail Day themed mail art!

Here are a few sneaky pictures of the inside - you will also find more snaps in my online shop! 

Happy Valentine's Day!

To celebrate I styled up this little love letter themed shoot for the day. Making a mail box, envelope, postage stamps, confetti, gift bow topper, heart jam biscuit notebook, washi tape rosette, love note-card and a origami perfume bottle.

I will also be packaging up some of the handmade contents into a love mail pack for a friend.

jour de valentines heureux!

Christmas is one of the most exciting and busiest times for crafting for me...and I'm sure many of you!

I have spent November and this month working on cheerful and colourful projects to decorate the tree, house and gift to loved ones. One of the first things for the holiday season I made was this little Xmas themed stationery set, that included a Gift tag, bookmark, mini notebook and card - all done with rubber stamps and colourful cardboard. By combining some of the rubber stamps together on a page, I created festive scenes and motifs.

Very exciting news!! I did some styling for Swedish inspired, Australian stationery retailer Kikki-K recently. Using their wonderful Jul Christmas range of wrapping paper, cards and gift tags I created these gift wrapping and styling ideas. Even the packaging from some of their products were used, with a handmade pom pom included!!
