creating hope...

Hope

creating hope

Imagine if we gathered together 100 mixed media artists from all over  and asked them to create a small charm or tag in their very own favourite style

Imagine if their message was one of positive affirmation

Imagine if we then took those pieces and used them to create a fabulous one of a kind dress form

Imagine how beautiful and special that would be

Imagine the chance to own that piece?

this is going to be an amazing journey...with an unbelievable piece of art that will be raffled off...
and all the while, raising funds for a worthy organization the Austrailan Cancer Research Foundation

hope you'll join in :)

joy...

it's my turn over at onelittleword & i've chosen JOY
and man oh man...the team's layouts with this word are absolutely phenomenal...when i saw them my breath caught in my throat a little...insanely inspiring...

& here is mine:
Joy

this is my buddyhead...my boy...my ryan...
he also is the source of most of my "what the?????"s and my"are you kidding me?????"s and "dude...knock it OFF!"s...
he is known to drive me bonkers...take me completely off kilter...

but the more i think about it...maybe that's exactly what i need...i need his big dose of joy and crazy...i need to let it go a little more...i need to try to just soak up the moment like he does so well...hop around like a nutjob...wiggle like a worm...giggle too loud...
and he constantly challenges me to do so...i've got to start stepping up to his challenge :)

i used gudrun's line of patterned paper for this layout:  3ndypapir...isn't that monster the cutest! 

hope you have a happy wednesday!!

the beach book....

it has been so crazy around here with the end of the school year, i forgot to post my beach book from the kenner road june gallery....

THIS was so fun...i had seen a top in crewcuts with these really cute embroidered flowers on it & i tried as hard as i could to memorize them so i could recreate them on the muslin bag that comes with the album...i added buttons to the centers of some of mine because i absolutely love those lime rickey buttons that came in the kit...

Book & bag
Embroidered bag

now when i come back from the beack all i have to do is pop my photos inside :)
AND because the album comes with the bag, i can keep all those little vacation treasures all together with the photos too....LOVE that :)

hope you are having a great week!!

ooooh.....a tari sale!!!

tamar has a lot up her sleeve for the months to come, so she needs some room in her garage to hold it...

so lucky you!  she's having a tari sale!!!!!

here is the info:
6a00d8341d081b53ef011570384f60970c-450wi

Now is your chance to stock up on those collections you missed out on - grab an extra one of  your favourite and to get some true bargains

A few things to remember

Site slow to load

Please be patient with the site - it tends to get overloaded at sale time - so if you can't get in hit  refresh and try again.

Shopping Cart
We don't have a traditional shopping cart site ( which is a pain at sale time! )- so if you  want more than one item you will need to place separate orders - or put a note in checkout  - we will manually process your order for you in the order they come in

Stock Levels
We have worked hard to make sure the stock levels are accurate but sometimes we get it wrong- we will let you know prior to shipping if something has sold out - many past collections have only 1 or 2 left in stock so you will need to be fast.

Order Confirmation
If you don't get a confirmation email - your order hasn't gone through!- email us at info@tarisota.com.au and we will process for you manually

Combining orders
We will go though and combine orders - its great if you pop a note in the checkout comments but we will always look as well:)

Shipping
We make sure we give you the best rate with shipping that we can -  So while each item is listed with a shipping charge - that is for if you just order that one thing. Combos will never be the shipping amounts all added up- If you need a final total for direct deposit - shoot us through an email and we will get back to you. But in general AUS orders $10.00 express post overnight up to 3kgs

Direct Deposit

All direct deposit customers we will be back in touch with you not long after your order is placed to confirm your final total.  No direct deposit orders will be sent until  confirmation of payment has been received.

Paypal

If you would like a paypal invoice - just email your order number through to richard@tarisota.com.au and he will send it on through :)

Email Orders
Its almost impossible for me to guarantee  you an item if you just email me your request - I can do my darndest but if someone else beats you to it I can't help you - sorry ..

International shipping
New Zealand - you'll note we have organized  a special deal for you on shipping - in keeping with our Aus shipping rates.

All other international shipping is at actual rate - with a discount for combined orders over $100.

Questions

Richard and I are both replying to emails through the sale period so anything you aren't sure on just ask away!

and finally a very fun give away - hidden in three orders will be  1 month subscriptions to the  I Want it all of your choice! Find the voucher and you are a winner!

So what you waiting for? head on over to the site and see what's up for grabs :)

ooooh...happy shopping!!!!!

good stuff..

be sure to hop on over to onelittleword for a new word!  jessi choice this round:  GOOD

Good other try
Good close

i've had this photo on my craft table since i took it...just couldn't figure out what to do with it...i love how it shows my little girly girls in all the girly tutu dream world wonderfulness...playing circus in the driveway...dancing to the beats of their own drummers...LOVE.IT....
but when it came to scrapping it i was stumped...

then came jessi & her "GOOD" & problem solved :)

i had a total crap day of a day today...everything & anything went wrong...i did everything wrong, just couldn't right the ship alllll daaaay....totally annoying & frustrating & sad (to be honest)...

so i think this word & it's directive to me to treasure & focus on that "good stuff" is just what i needed...

hope you have a wonderful wednesday :)
