On the 1st & 2nd Days...

It's time to continue our 12 days of Christmas tradition! So come back every day for the next 5 days to get 12 great gift ideas from the Art Studio and the design team. Go here for previous years.


On the first day of Christmas Lisa Johnson gave to you a beautiful ornament gift idea. Aren't these just perfect? Lisa makes ornaments for her girls every year. She made these using the Kris Kringle papers and felt.




You could also place these on a gift to make the wrapping part of the gift. How about placing it on a box like this one?


On the second day of Christmas SEI gave to you a gift box full of goodies. We have always loved this box designed by one of our previous guest bloggers, Jamie Cripps. So we thought it would be fun to make one for a Christmas gift.


It is really fun and simple to make! Go here for the complete instructions. If you aren't up to making cookies from scratch, how about making some chocolate dipped oreos?

Friday Flowers

Usually at this time of year here in Brisbane flowers in the house only last a few days due to our heat but this week my flowers have lasted 8 days and they are still going. I am impressed. It has been another hectic week with more jobs being installed, a couple of fun Christmas parties, Harry's 8th Birthday party at home last night, school break-up and still lots more to tick off the list next week.

For all of our lovely clients who have been waiting for our back rooms to re-open at Black & Spiro, they are open again. We had some terrible water damage in the rooms when we had that bout of rain a little while ago and also stock which sold faster than I had anticipated it would sell so I am pleased to say that the rooms are now looking beautiful again. Make sure you pop in for a visit.

Have a great weekend.
