Lynn from Red Beach

Join us to create your own Laser Cut Sign for your home or for a special gift. Great Mothers' Day present!
The MDF will be pre-cut ready for you to paint and add your chosen quote using a pre-designed stencil.

Shapes to choose from: Dog, Bone, Heart or Tag
You can add a hook to the dog sign to hang a dog lead or collar afterwards.

Quotes to choose from for:
DOG & BONE SIGNS: Choose a design from the 'DOG' design gallery (You can also have a dog silhouette added from 'Dog' album)

HEART SIGNS: (You will make 2)
Choose 2 designs from the design galleries (except from Personalised Family Signs & Family Tree) that will fit the shape of your heart. Check with me if you're not sure.

TAG SIGNS:
Choose a design from the design gallery (except from Personalised Family Signs & Family Tree) that will fit the shape of your sign. OR you can make it into a 'To Do' chalkboard.

All materials are supplied, just wear old clothes or bring an apron. Tea, coffee and nibbles will be supplied, but if you feel like you may need a wine to get your creative juices flowing, then feel free to BYOB.

When you arrive at the workshop, you will choose your paint colours, so please make sure you are on time, so you get your piece completed on time.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

You are never alone

Katie from Stanmore Bay

This year, I was given news that took the wind right out of this solo mum’s stomach: I was diagnosed with two types of curable breast cancer. Even writing those words still feels surreal.

I’ve recently completed five rounds of radiation, and while that chapter has closed, my journey is far from over. I now take daily medication — which, if I’m honest, comes with its own wild rollercoaster of highs and lows — along with monthly injections and six-monthly IV infusions.

All of this while raising two incredible, energetic tween boys who are full of wonder, life, and light. They have been my anchors on the darkest days and my reason to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

I’m sharing this because, in the New Year, I want to create a support group for anyone walking this path — no matter where you are on your journey. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, in treatment, finished treatment, or supporting someone you love.

Let’s build a village.
A place to lean, to cry, to laugh, to talk openly, and to remind each other that none of us have to do this alone.

Because the story doesn’t end when they tell you you’re “in the clear.”
In many ways, it’s just the beginning. 🌻
If this story touches your heart, and you’re on this journey too, feel free to message me. Even a quiet “me too” is enough...
