I love the bill blues

By Anonymous -


Yes, you heard me right, I love the bill blues, but not the blues that come with paying bills. I'm talking about the blue prints you find on the inside of envelopes - ooh yes, when I open a bill, that's the first thing I look at (the bill itself can wait). I usually put the nice ones aside for my ever mounting paper pile collection. I turned by latest pile of envelopes into a garland. Now, that's a cheerful thing to do with a bill don't you think?

I had Contry Style Magazine come and do a shoot at my home in May... a few months later and the issue finally hits the shelves. Yay! I am very pleased with the way it all turned out. Sharyn Cairns took some wonderful photographs and captured our home beautifully, while Virginia Imhoff wrote a lovely piece about all the bits and pieces in our home and how much we have traveled etc. The ' where there's tea there's hope ' print got a big feature in the shoot and on the editors letter, which we are so pleased about and the orders have already coming rolling in. Ooooh I must say it is quite a thrill to see my own home and work in print, I am most flattered!
