To sick to do a big post!

I have a head cold..stuffed up, feeling sorry for myself, but not sick enough to stay in bed!!! So short update. The car has been very popular, one of my big boys friends Mum wants me to do her car and put our logo on it...so free advertising, she is also such a cool lady so will give anyone that asks (maybe even if they dont ask) the spiel about us. So YAY to her!! Si and our neighbor have just built Si the most awesome desk..so Stickytiki HQ is looking very professional. Will post a pic later when I dont feel so lousy. My Mum made little girl the most beautiful purple dress today..she looked so cut even with the snot in her hair. x

Spot my car!!!

Inspired by Heidi from America and Jackie from Australia I decided that it was time to put the spot-light on my car! So two lots of Hundreds and Thousands later..this is what you get! I only did it yesterday afternoon and already have had so many comments. I must admit I do feel a little self-conscious, because the car gets looked at...a lot! My big boy and his friends think it is cool..well that was until I had to drop him off at school this morning and he said 'just drop me round the corner Mum'! We are testing a new Eco friendly product that will make all our decals completely weather proof, and wash proof, so they can be put outside as well...how cool is that!! So stay posted as we will be doing a special offer on two lots of Hundreds and Thousands SOON!! x

Happy Birthday NZ time Jodee!!

Today is my sister Jodee's birthday..well at least for us it is, tomorrow will be her birthday for her as she lives in the States! Here is a little picture I took on my walk this morning, this is just one street over from us and right across the road from where Jodee and her family lived before they had to go to the States for Matisse's transplant. In fact the view could be seen from their house. 'So Happy birthday Jo' I hope you have a great day x PS: I told you my big boy flew in from Australia last night...which he did and was very grownup, except his passport did another couple of flights back to Wellington after he got off the plane!! Yes he s a grownup 12 yr old, but when he is excited about seeing us and his mates ...unimportant things like his passport get forgotten!! But hey it expired today!

Some of our favourite things!!

We have this shelf in the kitchen where everything that you use on a regular basis goes......BUT it was meant originally to look nice! You know with those cute little bits and pieces ...retro dinner tray, cool coffee set your friend has given you, funky 70s book! But somehow it always seems to get over taken with hair ties, dead batteries, birthday cards, pencils, bits of blue tac, loose change, screws out of the door, broken bits off toys that you promise you will fix but end up staying there for 6 mths! Until one day you clean up, chuck it all (feel guilty for doing so) ...then start the whole process all over again! Also note the gorgeous castle that Ja ja made me! 

This is my shelf...yes after a cleanup!! the things that have snuck back in and are always used are: Babybaby's healing balm...because everyone with kids should have this stuff..multi use, bumps & scrapes, anti bacterial , anti fungal made with NZ Manuka and Kanuka oils.....its just damn good for everything....even the odd sore tummy!! My very talented sister developed this product..and yes I am biased but it really is the best. One customer buys 8 tubes at time and uses it for her rheumatoid arthritis!! The other thing on the shelf at the mo is our honey sticks that we bought from Lola & Ben. The kids love drawing with them..they smell divine and are easy for littlies to hold..plus they are made from beeswax so safe for little people. My big boy arrives home in just over an hour, he will be waiting at Wellington airport right now (so grownup!). he has been with his Dad, big brother and sister in Australia for two weeks. The two small ones cant wait to see their big bro..neither can Mum. x

Yummy scrummy colour!!!

Here is a sneak preview of new colour combos I am working on for a variation of our old favorite! I am just loving these mixes. Will be interesting to see if any of them prove to be as popular as our Hundreds and Thousands, which are living many lives all over the world, we have some more sold today that are off to Liverpool...sooo exciting! Lovely quiet day here on the home front for our Queens birthday holiday. Too cold to do very much so I was actually able to stick my nose in a book for part of the day..while poor Si was working away :( x
