That is just crazy. Where has the time gone I ask? Hope you are all well. I must admit I haven't been visiting often and I want to apologise for being such a slack cyber friend to you all. </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">The boys are back at school now, so the girls and I should find more time for socialising during the day. Should I say, should!! We are all well thank you, This year already has come with it's many challenges and we are always being tested and shaped. We had thought we would head to Brisbane to live this week and went house hunting down there, only to realise through means outside of our own, that we are meant to stay where we are for now. So here we are, staying put and loving it. </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">MissAlis.com my wholesale site is still going strong. I have been pondering the addition of a new Retail site though, with the possibility of a brick and mortar one as well, but that is all up in the air, and may never eventuate. Not sure exactly what the future holds. Through trying to source products for myself, and having difficulty it leads me to the next step and makes me wonder if I am having such a hard time finding things, maybe others are too. So that is what got me started again with the Retail idea. My thought is to not only sell a small selection of what I create for MissAlis.com but to include other quirky or hard to find gifts. I would like to cater for women and children in particular, but not the usual things you find everywhere. There are enough of most things around but some just aren't easy to locate here in Australia. So that was my plan with that. Anyway, not sure why I am even saying all this, just rambling my thoughts on the keyboard. </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Has anyone heard about what is happening over in Israel. Apparently it is being supressed in the Western Media, but the Arab Nations including Syria, Iran and Lebanon etc have begun to surround Israel and are preparing for war.

To all those of you who have been enjoying the recent dust storms, lol, how did you fare? Hopefully no body was too seriously stricken by the dust. We seemed to just cop sore throats and dry eyes. We kept the windows and doors shut when we could stand the heat as to not welcome to much into our home.<br /><br /></div></div><p>Well my little princess Rachel is 6 and a half weeks old now. Been a little bit unsettled of late, but nothing she won't get through I am sure. Bit windy is all. She is so delightful and is talking and smiling at us when we focus our attention and converstation her way. The top photo of her and I was taken a few hours ago on the web cam, but the other ones of the kids were a couple of weeks ago. She looks different to that already. Alert and strong and very aware of what is happening around her. </p><p>The two big boys are on school holidays, well one started back today actually. It has been lovely having them at home, and at Grandma and Grandads. Matty (hubby) took the two boys away for a week to a job he had in Sarina, and the eldest three have spent time off and on at my parents, so all in all a lovely relaxing holiday for everyone, especially me lol. </p><p>Ok, Rachel must have sensed i had sat down to type, as she has just woken up crying. I tell you, I can do housework, cooking or anything but sit down and she won't wake, soon as i have some ME time, she wakes up wanting my attention. Oh well, that is what it is all about isn't it. I shall enjoy the time with her this little while i have it. Ok friends, that was quicker than i had planned but it is a good excuse to come back and do another one real soon. Let you know what I have been up to in the crafty department. Much love to you all, Ali</p><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Be good and take care, Ali ox</div>Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17869534767765091957noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272851687596810597.post-89814586562486135882009-08-22T17:58:00.000-07:002009-08-22T20:26:10.409-07:00Welcome Rachel Bethany !<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr226BVApXeG16CRmu28djVFyP0LiX6q_NM7LmGm1Ex8IEEDssvDdxLiBXLD-3MEAOELmiopXCAGv9rbaQyge0w-KJmNoUS31cIWG60DMVQum_FY1no5hFdo-L6hrNxgJNYHvBJvJcAFZL/s1600-h/Rachel+mosaic+1+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372958372124140754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr226BVApXeG16CRmu28djVFyP0LiX6q_NM7LmGm1Ex8IEEDssvDdxLiBXLD-3MEAOELmiopXCAGv9rbaQyge0w-KJmNoUS31cIWG60DMVQum_FY1no5hFdo-L6hrNxgJNYHvBJvJcAFZL/s400/Rachel+mosaic+1+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center">Hello lovely friends and family. Sorry to take so long to announce our Princess. We welcomed Rachel Bethany into our hearts and family on Friday at 11.06am. We ended up going in on the Thursday night for an induction but nothing happened during the night, so in the morning my waters were broken and another two hours went by with still nothing. So with the threat of the syntocin drip I headed out to the stair well. Before long I was in the middle of 2 minutely contractions with which I waddled ever so slowly back to birth suite where I anticipated all sorts of interference. Thankfully they could tell I was in proper regular labour, so they left me to it. I hopped straight into the shower and stayed there till she slid out. From beginning to end of labour was 1 hour and 22 minutes. So it was intense and effective and ever so unfomfortable lol. But out she came all 7lb 9ozs of her. She is just delicious. She seems so very tiny and fragile and my other three kiddies seem so much bigger than they did only a few days ago. My husband has been such a blessing and has been getting in there holding the fort while I recover and spend time with our little one. He was fabulous during labour and came in the shower with me fully dressed mind you, and rubbed my back during each contraction and sprayed the warm water where it hurt most. It was very comforting knowing he was with me and I felt like it was a team effort this time. Treasured memories for sure. Ok well, so pleased to have the labour and birth behind us now as we look forward to our future with our ever growing family. Blessings to you all as you embrace what each days brings to your families. Much love to you all. ox Ali</div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Be good and take care, Ali ox</div>Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17869534767765091957noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272851687596810597.post-16284175678420174562009-08-19T22:45:00.000-07:002009-08-19T23:20:59.730-07:0010 Days overdue<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj8DTZl-tZiQnu4oxwSS3EIoma_iwXLvXAZ2vxWT7Ru6Q8sZeBwyB7S7r_eQQT3XuWV9Wdud5BknoYRjck2F9VCV3lX6vvAQBPmW-1dbO8d3cd6InH_a6xR8bC1UT22cjIcnMO9PUCW8bN/s1600-h/10+days+overdue+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371919432566426274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 219px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj8DTZl-tZiQnu4oxwSS3EIoma_iwXLvXAZ2vxWT7Ru6Q8sZeBwyB7S7r_eQQT3XuWV9Wdud5BknoYRjck2F9VCV3lX6vvAQBPmW-1dbO8d3cd6InH_a6xR8bC1UT22cjIcnMO9PUCW8bN/s400/10+days+overdue+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a> Hello friends, well, just a quick post to let you know what is happening with this baby. I am 10 days overdue now and booked for an induction in less than an hour now. So thought I would take one last pic (with my video cam lol) as I am hoping to come home a little smaller in a few days. I had my first two boys induced and then my daughter came on her own and now number four reverting back to induction. Not sure what the go is there but at least I know the time till I meet her will be short. (hopefully). So this is me saying goodbye and hope to talk to you soon. Will do a post when I get home from Hospital with my special news and photos. We think it is a girl, but now I am starting to wonder if maybe it is a boy, late like the others. Anyway, we shall know soon. We covet your prayers as we go and face this adventure. Blessings to you all and will be in touch soon I am sure. oxox Ali<div class="blogger-post-footer">Be good and take care, Ali ox</div>Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17869534767765091957noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272851687596810597.post-73680629384137279492009-06-30T00:38:00.000-07:002009-06-30T01:02:35.413-07:006 weeks to go!<div align="center"><a href="http://www.missalis.com/"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353024203355529522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 243px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 235px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnMPAC3LIgzVcfaiO6Xrh0egVHC5S_1Bap0fRb0GvhLse4neFXa9Sl1ayFbz9oGYK7Wy66QFJMfUsVHQPQ2bk5kef9-zGKWY_e05w9ORYobhpZ6AK1X-SlV-Qdr0vCN_rwdjuknudJ5IVh/s400/Category-Sub-Tags.gif" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.missalis.com/"><span style="color:#000000;">New!

I won't go on with how slack I am etc, you understand I am sure. Well i have been rather busy in fact. I have realised that when I am pregnant or just had a baby I tend to get creative and start something. Well this time has been no different. I decided in the end to start making my stationery and giftware once again and only offering it wholesale through my old domain <a href="http://www.missalis.com/">Miss Ali's</a>. I got it up and designed and stocked this week and it didn't take me long at all. I had been using a paper catalogue which I had done up recently so it made the whole process so much quicker. Anyway, I now have to turn around and actually make the products up and hope to do so before this little girl is born. So if I do get any orders around that time I can simply pop them in a box and be done with it. So if you were a Retailer of Miss Ali's products in the past or would like to be in the future be sure to pop on over and sign up for your <a href="http://missalis.com/wholesale.htm?wslg=y">Wholesale account</a>. I am not officially open yet but will be able to start filling orders in the next couple of weeks. I have some new product ranges too which is fun and offers a nice selection for Retailers accross Australia.<br /><br /><br />PS. Baby Lily has been renamed lol. My hubby hadn't warmed to that gorgeous name and has chosen to call her Rachel. So Rachel it is, he chose our other daughters name as well, and I figure it is a great way to have him feel included as so far it has all been me enjoying ( and not so enjoying) the adventure.<br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.missalis.com/"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353024200947564162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 243px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 235px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOfz4CGSO0KYaO1VGDCeTcRNXX56Jv7z3F9ZhNF7Z8KM5Tborjy9TBbFtWsGvR5xfwkW_CXbpxSJSam8WVWEmxzUtu5LivIBOC5FljO1YOAY4f3frWp5_iy3dZrkjU8jd5RlGigkA0auJH/s400/Category-Sub-Ribbon-Plaques.gif" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.missalis.com/">New!

I still haven't thought of anything big or amazing, but have been making some gorgeous little yo yo hair clips and thought I would show you those. If anyone would like a set, then make a comment on this post and I will draw a name out of the hat next Tues. I know they won't be everyones cup of tea, as they are probably more suited to the little princess in your life, or I guess could be worn as a brooch to spruce up a cardi or something for you. Anyway, if anyone would like to enter, then comment here, and the winner will be notified next Tues and will be offered their choice of the three sets shown below. That is it. Simple as anything.<br /><br /><div align="center">Set 1<br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ_JO4RGDXku0tcdqJmxwvAfihjFiH7EGzH_JxbbxBEJjJYhtfuGwKftIKvkkuFySq5ASo8b1ickvypQo8Djmq7XhauH9j8C9drtbPigJrzvzCqAYBYv79rQnLto_HkwAf1qEj4IDzLTw0/s1600-h/clip+3+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329630495789587250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ_JO4RGDXku0tcdqJmxwvAfihjFiH7EGzH_JxbbxBEJjJYhtfuGwKftIKvkkuFySq5ASo8b1ickvypQo8Djmq7XhauH9j8C9drtbPigJrzvzCqAYBYv79rQnLto_HkwAf1qEj4IDzLTw0/s400/clip+3+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Set 2<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixFzAZSd5wupfQ6UwI2cg1lSSgkHEZ0a-85IvIxYuTg5yNggVWtlqf2YexZ20dAE3LW15cvti6ZV5T6EZK7betMPMQRmn-6eJlB09X90tfqBzmuMpDvgPVndDOqoqyyf-DM7UAXfE0IlRQ/s1600-h/clip+2+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329630490616094098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixFzAZSd5wupfQ6UwI2cg1lSSgkHEZ0a-85IvIxYuTg5yNggVWtlqf2YexZ20dAE3LW15cvti6ZV5T6EZK7betMPMQRmn-6eJlB09X90tfqBzmuMpDvgPVndDOqoqyyf-DM7UAXfE0IlRQ/s400/clip+2+copy.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p align="center"></a>Set 3 </p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329640091489969794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMR457Zz4sZauITKHivb4E8LiMLkTVY9pnzUJWGPsaVIJBf9Oz-LWJH2zWvL6RerSneBMBYjhq1-St490XcuEZ-1g9fVds752BtgQsSei5ezaxmJzFFN-4AwmdsIsZY8f-H8mAseGzUz9O/s400/clip+1+copy.jpg" border="0" /> <div align="center"><br />This photo shows the back of one of the clippies.<br /></div><div align="center">Strong alligator style, pinch and slide on, then let go.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcDGZxXWkufqnx-8YWUuI8qGyJBW_S314uyppHwIAxo0lsP3cEOQfA60hsA9BzTrh8L9XmEvxE71_Np6AsDknrqG33Ufp7duKTg_8OJGOxDTu-TLGEX8jPY3fLdlvLhJy37OCih1Fnnh1a/s1600-h/clips+back+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329630485748793298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcDGZxXWkufqnx-8YWUuI8qGyJBW_S314uyppHwIAxo0lsP3cEOQfA60hsA9BzTrh8L9XmEvxE71_Np6AsDknrqG33Ufp7duKTg_8OJGOxDTu-TLGEX8jPY3fLdlvLhJy37OCih1Fnnh1a/s400/clips+back+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a> And these tiny little ones I made for the little baby girls at TLC in Africa where my precious friend Tammy has just gone back over to a few weeks ago. TLC is a loving orphange that take in abandoned babies and looks after them and most of the time finds loving adoptive homes for them. The precious babies have black afro hair as you can imagine so I made these with black tiny clips which will be camoflage in their hair and will just be a burst of colour. </div><br /><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329637915629253186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIkC-ErbH8HK_URYQLzm_hx8_RSgvmBAgmNTV-DWgGBhfB2mjc3kYus2VkXenIeAxNHEAnO8CGkyzyoYNzCTD93FuLd_xEwmHFGmLrvBzTi6Z9Gt8x2Vo4dlz1KZzfp-fOwoIyQosa8LXE/s400/clips+for+Tammy+copy.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Be good and take care, Ali ox</div>Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17869534767765091957noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272851687596810597.post-55382476143423028952009-04-14T17:00:00.000-07:002009-04-14T17:27:21.212-07:00Back in the Saddle!<div align="justify">Boy it felt good yesterday to have a lovely friend over and to start getting creative again. It has been soooo long since I have done any designing or creating. Pretty much since late last year. So yesterdays fun was very welcome and has helped me to enjoy a side to me that I had just about shut out. I just realised this post is number 99 so out of tradition, I will try and make the next one a giveaway post. Will have a think about it and let you know. Ok, as I promised in the last post, I have included some photos of my card making yesterday. I may look back in a few months and cringe at my first attempts lol, but hey, it has been about 6 months since I have done anything at all remotely creative.

I just have felt like I had nothing worth sharing. But seeing as I got a new background image from a very generous lady and made myself a new matching banner, I thought I better share something with you.<br /><br />We have just sold our house and had it settle a couple of days ago. We have moved to a new suburb and we are in and so happy in our new home. It is much bigger than the last place we called home. We have been so very blessed and our Precious Father has had His faithful hand over this whole process.<br /><br />Matt has been away a lot of late which has been hard to take. My emotions have been all over the place with the move and the pregnancy and then being left alone with the three kids so much of the time. To be honest I started to come undone today. I cried alot of the day with so many mixed emotions and a heavy heart. I am yet to find my purpose this year. I have felt so lost and not sure what to do with myself.<br /><br />Anyway, I won't let it beat me, and will make sure I overcome this heaviness soon. Thank you to all of you who visit me even though it has been so long between posts. I have just started to sort out my new studio here at the new home and have been starting to collect card making things again. I am going to try my hand at real handmade cards without my trusty computer, so that should be fun. I have a friend coming over to get creative with me so that will be nice. See what we come up with and I may post some photos of our first lot of creations if we can come up with some on Tues.<br /><br />Our pregnancy is progressing well. We have named our little bump Lily already, so we don't have to say 'the baby' or 'it'. We shall see whether she keeps her bump name or takes on a different one as we get closer and more serious about names. For now, Lily sits well with us and it is such a dear name. I am 23 weeks pregnant now and time is going rather quickly. I have been more tired this time around and out of breath a lot of the time. My fitness has hit rock bottom I am afraid and I am already dreaming of the day when Lily will be in my arms and I will be able to get fit and healthy and feel myself again. Counting down the days...<br /><br />Well I truly hope you are all well. I have been lurking around some of your blogs of late and they really do help me. You inspire me to be creative and I just love looking at all of your finds and creations.

What a year already hey? Just wanted you to all know that I was still alive. I know it must have seemed as though I had dropped off the face of the earth. I am sorry that I haven't been around for ages. Lots has happened since we last spoke. The day after i announced the closure of Miss Ali's late last year, I found out I was pregnant with our fourth baby. That kind of through a spanner in the works as far as this years plans were concerned lol. I should have learned by now not to put to much weight on MY plans. I have had a very rough and crook last few months. Morning sickness this time started at 5 weeks and came with a vengence. It is only just starting to subside in the last couple of weeks thankfully. Some days i feel ok and others just awful. I have popped out earlier this pregnancy too and already look pregnant at just 15 weeks. Bub is due early August. We are very excited to welcome a new little one into our home.<br /><br />I started the year home schooling my eldest, but unfortunatly it only lasted two weeks. I then decided that it was the best thing for him to go back to his old private school. It is a fantastic school and he was showing many signs of boredom. So he and our younger one were enrolled again and now i find myself sitting home, growing and doing nothing of what i had planned for this year. I have my little princess home with me and we have been enjoying our days together. She is looking forward to a baby to look after also.<br /><br />I have had a lovely break from Miss Ali's and designing etc. I haven't really touched any of it since I closed the website and I must say it has been so nice to be free from the pressure of it all. When I began feeling awful I was so thankful I had closed down just in time. I am not sure if I will do anything work wise in the near future. I will see how my days unfold. For now I am enjoying just being wife and mother. <br /><br />Ok well that is enough from me for this first post back. I don't want to shock any of you lol, that is if any of you still visit. I will attempt to post often and keep in touch with you all. Hoping you are all well and not being affected by the financial crisis worldwide, the floods, fires and every other disaster that seems to be present the world over. Has anyone else been thinking the world has gone mad. I think we are seeing the beginning of the end of the world as we know it. Much is said in Scripture about this very time we are in. Don't be ignorant of what is coming friends, open your bibles if you have one and see for yourselves that much of what we are seeing now has been foretold for our benefit in Scripture so that we might be prepared. Blessings to all of you who seek the God of Israel.

The time has come, or rather is long overdue, that I pour myself into my family. It was a tough decision to give it all up, but I have tried so hard to cut down, etc and I always find myself getting sucked back into it to the point where my work takes my focus. And that is not ok. So I am saying goodbye to my little business for now. Time for the children, time for our whole family to have a full time mum. Home schooling is going to be a lot more involved this year and I really can't do both. So..... Miss Ali's is having a closing sale over the next few days before i close the doors. Everything in store is marked down, so if you would like any of my products before they are gone, just head over and get them while they are still up. </div><br />I want to take this opportunity to say a hearty THANK YOU to all of you who have shown your support to me over the years. Your kindness has been so appreciated and I shall remember with fondness all the friends I have made through my website, designing, markets and customer visits. I look with fondness over the last few years and really have enjoyed all the highs and lows of creating and selling and designing. I will keep this blog going for now, so if you would like to contact me once the website closes, please do so here or through my email if you have it. I won't put it up here as my inbox will fill with spam over night lol. So thank you one and all and who knows when I may be back. For now my web designs will still be available through my dear friend Robin at <a href="http://www.boutiquemama.com/">Boutique Mama</a> and I plan to, as time permits, add new OOAK web designs there. So head over to Miss Ali's one last time while you can....<br /><br />See You there </div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272720833219588562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 243px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 260px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNwUYk9qgvnyPJDKLdg4fE_03j529Urdm5mghT3UMnrsOX9NdpnkyNp2W8nYXNBB03ibRkkPZ-lqvn3Xt3qc1HawXgoeX4CWzfWVXPg41TKcB5xmFU9q5OcX4Opd1hQldW7PEonV0Zl3Nq/s400/Category+SPECIALTY+SUPPLIES+copy.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuCN4BU1rsgkPIs29u0q6TEHo6SrzxkM04JHvo1aQAuL_zD4j-C9uHIK6urcYNTZPwBeS1EefBrCKwC7fyfwBSfpF6XJh_8rxPxpNRZU8wG7cbOD-25aKrWjg8TSyUuoTnGwwAj91uI8re/s1600-h/Category+Sub+Bookmarks+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272720832601658530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 243px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 235px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuCN4BU1rsgkPIs29u0q6TEHo6SrzxkM04JHvo1aQAuL_zD4j-C9uHIK6urcYNTZPwBeS1EefBrCKwC7fyfwBSfpF6XJh_8rxPxpNRZU8wG7cbOD-25aKrWjg8TSyUuoTnGwwAj91uI8re/s400/Category+Sub+Bookmarks+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a> Sweetest Bookmarks $0.70 ea</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"> </div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Be good and take care, Ali ox</div>Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17869534767765091957noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272851687596810597.post-56307178291807034032008-11-24T04:45:00.000-08:002008-11-24T05:24:59.984-08:00I'm Back<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjil5eQFQbmvN6ST0OobIZCFcS__OAsPFdTsbyigukEsevfcL7LEuuoVir3PeqCmNAp4TuATMOrQgOxGWfxZAa-5E9o52WW6eu9f_Ae6pqnYTQzJPwREqbJUSm_ikJo5NFNawXH6JiNYKap/s1600-h/NZ+Blog+12.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272214393466770514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjil5eQFQbmvN6ST0OobIZCFcS__OAsPFdTsbyigukEsevfcL7LEuuoVir3PeqCmNAp4TuATMOrQgOxGWfxZAa-5E9o52WW6eu9f_Ae6pqnYTQzJPwREqbJUSm_ikJo5NFNawXH6JiNYKap/s400/NZ+Blog+12.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center">Hello lovely blogging friends. I am finally back from our month or so over in New Zealand. We had a wonderful time together for the most part. We laughed often and enjoyed having each others company. We managed to enjoy Queenstown while it was snowing up at Coronet Peak. That was the first time we had been in the snow while it was actually snowing. Aparently they had a cold snap while we were there. But really heated up a few days before we came home, just to prepare us for our hot and humid weather here. Oh boy, we came home and were asking ourselves why we choose to live in Townsville. I really start to wonder. I am very thankful for our air conditioning and wouldn't like to go back to no escape from the heat. I have added some photos for you to enjoy below of our trip.</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2MxkH7IaMd2Vs4X0rH1SvL0fMiiMTRwfos3SR32hkKTwnhfPj2KFfcwlgGtVffdLSr_ekihA9yFVeXiaCsbkrI0nXSDjZ86gFel-6QC9BYn1QNb-o1FHrMWMKCqzqll9raYLg19KaT8Oy/s1600-h/NZ+Blog+11.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272210533729924962" style="DISPLAY: block;

Matty (hubby) runs a production company here in Townsville. He provides sound, lighting, staging and techs etc for concerts and other proffesional events across Australia, and abroad at times as well. Well anyway, last night he did one here locally so we came along to support him and check out all of his hard work. Fronteirs Services put on a fundraising concert feautring Troy Cassidaly, and The Songbirds (Becky Cole, Gina Jeffries, and Sara Storer). Money raised goes to helping the familes of the Outback who do it tough. So was a fun night and my parents also came along to keep us company. The kids loved it and ran around up the back and hung off Matt for some of it too. He found it a little stressful having them their but at the same time, I am sure he loved us seeing him work too. The truth is I am proud of my husband, we may not always see eye to eye on some things but he works hard and I love that about him. He gives his best and is loved because of that. He has worked with many artists now and I will have to do a post one day with photos of him and the artists he has worked with just for fun, and to show him how much I think of him. He is super sweet and you can check out his main website <a href="http://www.talkinaudio.com/">here</a>. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Be good and take care, Ali ox</div>Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17869534767765091957noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272851687596810597.post-77043011243615225872008-09-13T20:41:00.000-07:002008-09-14T16:58:28.967-07:00My Children<div align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#00cccc;">Giveaway Post Below !!</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTQCsPEieje6gIF6AqtxGg5L9i2J7rjYQgVuZRxoXxls3nrUEkyxKMeApjxXuILvzloNKt1Cym1tA5Wx4fWSnyjZzR3xbqSNAqb8H_G8azT6V4wNZommEA8GG2zgW6QQlDdKAtueionAId/s1600-h/Blog+2+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245719141044342930" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTQCsPEieje6gIF6AqtxGg5L9i2J7rjYQgVuZRxoXxls3nrUEkyxKMeApjxXuILvzloNKt1Cym1tA5Wx4fWSnyjZzR3xbqSNAqb8H_G8azT6V4wNZommEA8GG2zgW6QQlDdKAtueionAId/s400/Blog+2+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div align="justify">This is my baby with her baby.

I guess my children are as good a place to start as any.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">For anyone who knows me well knows, that my precious children are the apple of my eye. They are as dear to me as life itself. This year we made the decision to begin home schooling. With only my eldest son at school age, it was a good time to start. It has been somewhat of a challenge for me, battling between the life I had become accustomed to and the life I wanted to learn to love. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">I started my Miss Ali's and before that adregan.com a few years ago and used it as an outlet for my creativity. I have always created and sold my creations since I can remember. Even as a little one I used to have stalls out the front of our house, selling my books, coconuts or anything else i could find. I love to sell. Well, the other day I went outside to find my eldest son like this..... He had done the same thing. He had created bookmarks and had set up a stall at the front of our house. It was such a laugh and brought back memories of me. We of course all came out and purchased 2 bookmarks each, which then, he decided, left him short in variety, so asked for one of them back from each of us. So precious. Graciously the boy from next door also came and brought his little sister and purchased some also, very cute and such a lovely boost for our boy. He is saving his pennies as he is wanting to set up his own workshop downstairs. He is saving to buy a drill to start with. We have his money counted and written down and we are working towards his goal. He has done some little jobs for me today to earn some pocket money. He is a great little worker and not afraid to get stuck in. Just a lovely boy with a heart to please.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWsEw6v6s9mgSj6eJS-Ea2Fomak3HCH4bHijg7NfhBiFT-8t7oi6GAs1yPYiIpAJuo6mRmi0vaFKODG9N5rcZhBtpWjqj8Ic71gmS3bJm0ERUctUt1dFr6V-hgRVbevNX8R0-HNRRBXI3j/s1600-h/Blog+1+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245719146218234338" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWsEw6v6s9mgSj6eJS-Ea2Fomak3HCH4bHijg7NfhBiFT-8t7oi6GAs1yPYiIpAJuo6mRmi0vaFKODG9N5rcZhBtpWjqj8Ic71gmS3bJm0ERUctUt1dFr6V-hgRVbevNX8R0-HNRRBXI3j/s400/Blog+1+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Well onto our middle son, such a joker and always making me laugh. This little one is the loud one of the family, boystrous in every way. Wakes up slowly and emerges into a loving little soul who is always ready for a cuddle and a book. Loves to read and sits for ages flicking through pages of his favourite books, which at this stage of life, includes Huckle and Lowly books. He is rough and tumble and a true boy. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Ok, I will end it there before it turns into a book.

We did our first Showground Market on 24th August outside the main building, but have decided we will not attend them again until we can secure a permanent stall indoors, which will enable us to create more of a little shop atmosphere and leave our goodies there each week and continue to add to it. I have felt a little swamped in my studio at home and think it will be a great idea to have the 'for sale' products housed and set up somewhere our local customers can come and browse and rely on. If and when we secure this indoor spot, we will be opening each Sunday, subject to changes obviously but that will be the plan. Organisers of the market have given me a rough 2-3 week anticipated wait on that, so will keep you posted.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnCMsrKkjWaD3Fy1tX9TynefyBCE2MfVxW8rNqk6OR_pJXQfWUIaY46iuLZoTnixAvT5-A-sd0qt-xwI7sNTpOmNyXPuSEqQh5fOJM06Yh2kIQY4PZUuPhd7QPVC6aKVrAE_xlwiwOkTFe/s1600-h/Books+OVAL+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241246849121684434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnCMsrKkjWaD3Fy1tX9TynefyBCE2MfVxW8rNqk6OR_pJXQfWUIaY46iuLZoTnixAvT5-A-sd0qt-xwI7sNTpOmNyXPuSEqQh5fOJM06Yh2kIQY4PZUuPhd7QPVC6aKVrAE_xlwiwOkTFe/s400/Books+OVAL+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a> A big box of new books have arrived and i will endeavour this week to get them listed on Miss Ali's for next weeks opening. Also new bookmarks have come in and the cutest little pendants i designed as well. All will be listed as time permits, so keep checking back for those. I am having a little break from design work at the moment also to focus more of my time on my young children and keeping home etc. I am sorry for those of you who are dissapointed by my decision and I thank you all for your business over the last couple of years. I will keep you posted with any new ventures and design work available as we go. Still deciding whether to offer my OOAK's web designs and if so how and where to do that best. Ok, I will leave you with a photo from our market the other Sunday and a few of our new books in stock, to be listed soon. ox</div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Be good and take care, Ali ox</div>Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17869534767765091957noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272851687596810597.post-83098890364300737412008-08-18T23:20:00.000-07:002008-08-18T23:57:51.606-07:00Announcement for the Local Girls<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcRcSo3PrtmBvCrSZ3dbE6DXnb2MFVGoM-lLo5Go46k-2Uoq_Ir4j7b6CCinx6ap6kYrckVXox1lndnA9Vdc4DrVXcJueX-wuwmZbY9MqCQm3iOvsxpI9NOWLKjsQAHiBXQYUN3NkBB_ds/s1600-h/Market+BLOG+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236119455925492194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcRcSo3PrtmBvCrSZ3dbE6DXnb2MFVGoM-lLo5Go46k-2Uoq_Ir4j7b6CCinx6ap6kYrckVXox1lndnA9Vdc4DrVXcJueX-wuwmZbY9MqCQm3iOvsxpI9NOWLKjsQAHiBXQYUN3NkBB_ds/s400/Market+BLOG+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Hello strangers, sorry for the long delay in posts. I have had much to say but none of it has made it to my blog. I thought i better make a little announcment for the local Towsville ladies here. As of this Sunday 24th August, we will be holding a stall at the <strong><span style="color:#00cccc;">Showground Markets EVERY FORTNIGHT</span></strong>. We will have a stall just outside the main hall but in time hope to move into the hall itself for a more permanent arrangement. I hope to see many of you there. We did a market last month and it was a great success. We have restocked and are hoping to see some of you attend our new market on a regular basis. We will be offering a lovely selection of Prints by the lovely Gail McCormack, beautiful handmade soaps just arrived, also just arrived is a huge big selection of shabby style books, and Shabby Chic DVD's to boot. Handmade stationery, scrap packs, collage sheets, handmade cards, Vintage German Glass Glitter, seam binding, bookmarks, hot packs, glass knobs, vintage papers and more will be available. Hope to see you there.<br /><br />My computer is having some issues and I have been unable to download photos from my camera so will get the new soaps and books up as soon as I can to <a href="http://www.missalis.com/">Miss Ali's</a>.<br /><br />I will not be taking any custom orders for a bit now as I have a break from the custom side of things. I will however continue to be offering my OOAK websites through <a href="http://www.boutiquemama.com/category_25/One-of-a-Kind-Design-Templates.htm">Boutique Mama</a>, with new designs coming September. I hope also to add to my range of pre designed business cards and bits, collage sheets, and also Labels. Also I have designed a range of gorgeous pendants and am currently having them created in America for exclusive sale at Miss Ali's. Will let you know here, when new things are added to my site. Ok lovlies, that is enough words with no fun pictures. Thanks for reading if you are still with me lol. xo</div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Be good and take care, Ali ox</div>Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17869534767765091957noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272851687596810597.post-11496615205699273422008-07-23T20:45:00.001-07:002008-07-23T21:13:41.571-07:00Heaps of New things at Miss Ali's!<a href="http://www.missalis.com/catalog.php?category=28"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226423483197743170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDPkcU3CbXA8-bF75RFHuoqJyQirks_m879V0LCj0DPQATFqbh_nZOgFwSHYab-KxyXEVYWFJlCljQ-XGNRBqlPiQeUXw3H7BZgB17JPi0phft6tHuaJ_MP5vUYr_jQzl-zh8W4-p728Ad/s400/Category+Sub+Scrap+Packs+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.missalis.com/catalog.php?category=28"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226423242150247762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFsWPqByJweRD5bskJwt3OA6wlI5gssJM8iF55-QRjzDAFkaXvRKWVHDDAg3VP2AT0E0vR3ymsuTqfcY3b0sJ3K5TKqI5jtqDMHtsk9VBURVHASCeZGwwOI8CwoE8qnNfs-oP714Dkt_e-/s400/Cat+German+G+Glitter+pic+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.missalis.com/catalog.php?category=28"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226423246889639602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjve6A1QKqy-dT0Yy9QapqSXpB_S71tbcx5ECOR4qH_jiuCFKnCRr1p5XfidK_WSzXXTSwOYHgtJD4up7GhXsMOmrmJk79Qd1bB7X1HLAFfMEIBhrRNYyETVHafTa7P8LKnBLApO5DBDlFv/s400/Category+Sub+Seam+Binding+rolls+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.missalis.com/catalog.php?category=28"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226423244997656722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO-vVuJfvEGZI8I8BpaozU5_QXlPqNaVUS6GCOohZDkP42QAdKgrcxO3_OfxRGJRNyT5dKkzDnjGkxDSy2hZ1tUK63I2mrmS-69PFVHcckSI8BS9VIf_7srvvwbrHKmduc9zU44WQ3rSco/s400/Category+Sub+Swav+Crystals+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.missalis.com/catalog.php?category=28"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226423245112238322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtPex0Hu7eMMg2arXFTqkoHuQbb8kp28e7VPTEgzbj-kN34519bVrXTcSFpDWtbYa-aqzROhrnnGN29kC8ruRTuPLOb-xr4SG21FGsSWMaLkQ1B55LHafQ2DXE40JbpKqSoySMkKf2RP6Z/s400/Collage-Sheets-Category-pic.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.missalis.com/catalog.php?item=276&catid=30&ret=catalog.php%3Fcategory%3D30"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226423249689449554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrm72QdlLdaU5uLqoZW9k5KBZosEXyv9CXqFpP1j8z6dlbE3DutMGUgTgt4zYq5SAR1gyjq5mR5vEH3HhadwcfMVuuT0lAvl-tnEAFoqucYzEQMrHIG-BNiJIFfL-zZ3EEfnnC0TYmTgr7/s400/RE-Preview-Tile.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Wow, I have been one busy girl lately. I have added new scrumptious supplies to my store like gorgeous Seam Binding, German Glass Glitter and Swarovski Rhinestones to name a few. New vintage style Scrap Packs and Collage Sheets available as Print Your Own. Also I just added a new Blog Design called Rich Elegance and many more things are coming... I have a big market this Sunday at the Holy Spirit School here in Townsville for anyone that can come along and have some fun. Starts at 8.30am so don't be late as all the good stuff goes quickly to the serious shoppers lol. Should be fun. I will be assisted by my very able assistant Liam and a dear friend. Will post pics next week of our stall. It has been ages since I was on here and have so much to post about. My days seem to be going quicker than ever, do yours? Crazy. Anyway, lots more to do before Sunday so better go and price things and get myself organised while the little ones are asleep. Talk soon and thanks for stopping by. I don't imagine I have many who do visit as I am one big slack blogger, so thank you. oxox Miss Ali</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Be good and take care, Ali ox</div>Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17869534767765091957noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272851687596810597.post-45459041170834167612008-07-03T22:20:00.001-07:002008-07-17T01:59:26.918-07:00Now offering OOAK BLOG Designs!<div align="center"><a href="http://the-pink-poodle.blogspot.com/"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219024516923391554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOPFhuOWf5oKG1k-U_V4d1R-QbOFDuqGPNadH72pRgOgoZTIEmU6FNkZgmYMPzaPVEavxFLeitsO0fAYqDdOAqJxPu0qpcJUsEj-CANDKl_Y_LZt102FDAlnYUQsHwXG1zG5wuWBi1m9PG/s400/PP-Blog-PREVIEW-TILE.gif" border="0" /></a>Pink Poodle SOLD </div><br /><br /><p><a href="http://toiledefrance.blogspot.com/"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219024521056049138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWoaTCbW01FXMGW9UrYDRExQzoxd05Bujw7WvEWdaEpJ3QahuVwyRWMkVXB89xB6mkjj4Sw5w_KszU7e2WURoM6Xs_0DC2qbF6cLJ-Gz9kj-_vtnVeAgXClEMs32MXUVzwjykYol2rzIwX/s400/TdF-Blog-PREVIEW-TILE.gif" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center">Toile de France SOLD</p><p> <a href="http://www.missalis.com/">Miss Ali's</a> is now offering very unique One of a Kind Blog Graphic sets, either installed or not, you choose.
