They include swirls, dots, the rays of the sun perhaps, birds that look like the Kereru, corners to make a nice Christmas card and the Tim Holtz folders. With Halloween not far away and then Christmas these high quality embossing folders will make your cards extra special. One set has a cute pumpkin patch and also cattails which makes a very tasteful card. The other forms a great Merry Christmas and also a holiday collage. I am unable to do much crafting now due to eyesight issues, and the expensive Tim Holtz embossing folders are as originally bought, unused and in perfect condition. Some of the others are also unopened and all in good condition. For pick up in Otaki or postage at your expense. Please contact me on 021818636.

The government is enacting miserable things on a daily basis that lack sound policy and credible research. Actual experts from multiple fields are continually pointing out government errors of judgement and it's getting very depressing. (See yesterday's DomPost re Luxon's ignorance of the power of the arts in education, for example.) Where is the Opposition voice that should be pounding the government benches?
This is a marvellous wee tool and easy to use. You can punch, emboss, or set eyelets with a simple click! Simply push down on the handle and the spring action releases the same amount of pressure as a hammer. Safe and easy to use. No more loud hammering for late night scrapbookers!

Our daily average maximum temperature was 14.5C, equalling the longtime average, and a degree warmer than August 2023. This was also an increase of a degree on July ― and that along with relatively warmer nights probably resulted in the onset of an early spring. This saw many of the classic spring plants and shrubs, including kowhai, flowering well before the end of the month. Also, with an overall mean temperature of 11.4C, we were the warmest place in central New Zealand.
The equivalent of 13.5 sunny days was again two fewer than average. However, it was an abundance of rain that August will likely be remembered, ending months of below average rainfall. Following two weeks of almost no rain we had a two-week wet spell, with two episodes of over 50mm within a week, and along with frequent squally showers we reached a monthly total of 200mm. (The historic average rainfall for August is around 80mm). However, this amount is not uncommon, with four similar monthly totals of around 200mm in August in 2022, and most recently in April 2023. However, these storms are fairly minor compared to those experienced in northern and eastern North Island regions in recent years.
We can expect September to be a blustery month with around a 1.5 degree increase in temperatures and rainfall of around 70mm.

They are in "as new" condition and mainly unused. The Tim Holtz book is hard to get and expensive and chokka full of ideas. I cannot use them now due to vision loss and would like them to go to a good home for a Koha. You need to pick them up in Otaki. If interested contact me on 021818636. Thank you. .
Due to vision problems crafting is difficult. So I have sorted out a huge pile of very good quality papers to go to a good home for a Koha. Many are still in pads with no or a few pages used and there are unopened sets of papers.

So I have sorted out a huge pile of very good quality papers to go to a good home for a Koha. Many are still in pads with no or a few pages used and there are unopened sets of papers. Plus a huge pile of loose quality papers, I have also included some small paper pads ideal for card making and of course all the papers can be used in card making and other paper craft. I also have crafting tools to go. If you are keen please contact me on 021818636 and be prepared to collect in Otaki. See my other ad for paper storage and scrapbooking books for ideas.
