A major gripe in my house lately is the kids drink cups littering the bench. No one can every remember which cup is theirs and I find this problem to be far worse on the weekends and school holidays.
This morning, I whipped up a central drink coaster for the kids to place their drink cups. It literally took me 5 minutes to make and that even included covering the coaster with contact. Ros Davidson
Hopefully now, everyone remembers to use it :) stampin up demonstrator melbourne, handmade

My theme for July is to re-do some of the cards I made in Making Merry Monday 2009. Back then, I didn't offer instructions for the cards and I really love some of the cards I made. I am re-doing them this month with current products so you can see how easy it is to make small changes if you don't own all the products to make a particular card.
This week, my mother in law celebrated a special birthday. One of the things on her bucket list is to go on a hot air balloon ride so we helped her celebrate her birthday with a special gift certificate. I couldn't just give her a gift certificate and no special card being the Stampin' Up! demonstrator I am, so I made her a mini hot air balloon as her card. The original idea for the hot air balloon I saw was made by Melaine Bauer. stampin up demonstrator melbourne handmade Ros Davidson
One of the perks as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is to receive stamp sets and see sneak peeks before everyone else. I used a sneak peak stamp from the upcoming Stampin' Up! annual catalogue (released September 1st) on my hot air balloon creation. classes south east Melbourne

Huge apologises for the late MMM post. With it being school holidays and recovering from hosting a birthday celebration on the weekend I kinda forgot yesterday was Monday. Opps!
