It’s been quiet around here this week. My husband has been on holiday and my in-laws were in town so I’ve been off having family time. I had planned on having posts all ready for the blog so no one got lonely but alas, my capabilities didn’t quite stretch as far as my mind this time.
So here’s what’s new:
The NZ Art Guild Collaborative Project is now up for auction!! Please take a look at the auction here. Remember, all proceeds are donated to The Mental Health Foundation of NZ.
If you missed the article in Viva, (I got the dates wrong!) go here and you can read Karley Feaver’s favourite things. Go Karley
I love my Canon too!

My solo show is still on at Invercargill airport’s Koru Lounge. I think I’ve forgotten what my paintings look like lol.
Yesterday I received an invitation to take part in Dunkley’s Great NZ Craft Show. This event is huge but the price tag to be a stall holder is just as big. I think I will have to give it a miss this year but will look into it next year. I know pretty much everyone in my region attends ours.

I’m currently working on a new painting for a fundraiser. Still a long way to go but I can’t wait to do the next step! Pic below:
My daughter had artwork selected to be exhibited at the Polyfest they’re having for the region. I forgot because she told me the news months ago but a friend mentioned today that she took photo’s of the artwork for a slideshow for the museum. So happy for my daughter
Thank you to Wanderlust for including me in the Blog Carnival and Renee for the hand drawn Lovely Blog Award.
Also, this one’s a biggie, I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned it already! Creating My Reality is one of five finalists in The AusMumpreneur Awards – Best Blog 2010 category. The awards ceremony is being held in Brisbane on July 31 during a conference for Mumpreneurs. I really wish I could be there to attend the kick-a$$ conference and celebrate with all my fellow Mum’s (and Dad’s)!

One more thank you, this time to Cadbury NZ for taking the time to comment on my blog post about the Chocolate Carnival! Don’t know how you found me but it was cool to see your comment. I’ll pop by your FB Page and share some photo’s. We seriously had so much fun last week.

And last but not least, Boston turned ONE on Monday. He got to celebrate with his Gran and Papa in town. Very cool
I still can’t believe it’s been a year. So much has happened. He’s huge now, bigger than most kids his age but that’s no surprise right? LOL. When he was born we were told he’d either lose a lot of weight and become a regular sized kid or he’d just grow up to be a giant. We’re on the giant path it seems. He’s clingy and a massive screamer but I still love him to bits. You can’t beat his cheeky grin! Melts my heart every time I see it. I can’t wait to see him grow even more.
Oh yeah, look what I bought myself today. LOVE. Might wear them to the ILT Art Awards tomorrow night.

Nice shoes! I love the look of them, but doubt I’d be able to walk in them for long – sadly I’m out if heel wearing practice.
Congrats on your nomination and loved reading this positive post of news – good on you lass!
Happy Birthday to your (not so) little man too!!!

I wore them for just under two hours Sarah, that was enough lol. Thank you! There’s a lot of positivity floating around at our place right now, I hope it’s spreading!
My mother and I are looking to create a blogging site comparable to this for our internet site, I stumbled across your website hoping to get some ideas on the theme along with page layout. I am taking some html coding class while attending college but not certain that I would be capable of develop a blog such as this one just yet. Did you code this website on your own or retain the services of an expert?
Hi there Gisela, I designed the layout, colours, font etc and had my husband do the code. He can help you if needed, check out http://swishdevelopment.com
