Going green...

I love doing my part for the environment.

FH and I constantly turn everything off at the switch...it did take a while to get use too....you sit down on the couch ready with the remote to turn on the TV on a cold winters night...only to find when you press the 'on' button that you have to get up and turn everything on at the switch.

Now it's just our nature. We are targetting our water '155l per person per day' FH and I are proud to admit we are using under 155l a day between the two of us per day.

What's the harm in sharing your shower time with your loved one? As much as I hog the water, FH and I are proud to be doing our bit. We have our 4 minute timer in our shower, the race is to who can get out the fastest!

As much as we recycle, sometimes it sickens me to notice how much of my paper wastage is going nowhere. At the start I wasn't too fussed...now I recycle every off cut possible. Is there a way to create environmentally friendly invitations?....the answer is no!

But what I can create is a environmentally friendly workspace. Every custom order, every sample order I create, I recycle! Every teeny tiny piece of paper not suitable for another order is recycled. Currently only in our recycling rubbish bin, however I'm looking into ways where my off-cuts are going to great use. Watch my Ebay items, soon I will be selling my off-cuts to handy crafters, maybe they could use these in their scrapbook albums!

I have recently discussed the 'Nicole' invitation. The patterned paper, which comes in many different colours, is made from recycled material.

You can check out their website for more eco-friendly designs


I love using this paper, it just makes me feel great that I'm doing something great for our wonderful world.

I have just released a new design to my range called Kaisey. You can check out the item here


This was created for a Bride to Be with her wedding. She LOVED the design I had added to my items....














However, she wanted to use a frangipani as her flower, so we came up with this.....

This gorgeous little flower (which also comes in a wonderful pink!) came from another fantastic Ebay seller! You can check out her items here....

Tracy is fantastic!! Very friendly seller, who would go out of her way to help anyone out...I can't wait to order some more materials for my designs :)
Happy planning!!! :)
