Favourite christmas decoration would be the red and white candy sticks hanging from the christmas tree!!!!!!
i still have them Baubles mum bought …..mum has been gone for a long time
thats a hard one!!! i guess it would be the santa claus we hung from the tree because as a kid thats what it was all about to me the man in the red suit!!!!
Question 2: Paper chains were my favourite but so much nicer with papers available today.
My favourite was a little Santa made from red pipecleaners. He had a little face that was cast from some sort of plastic/rubber.
My favourite Christmas decoration from childhood was our Advent Calendar. My mum made it by hand from fabric and felt. It had the cutest little metal trinkets in each pocket, and we’d put them up on the window sill, day by day. No lollies or toys, just a special little trinket we’d ‘oooh’ and ‘aaaah’ over. Year after year we had it, and never tired of it. Those were the days ….
my favourite childhood decoration would be the drummer boy with drum. Not sure they make them anymore, I am sure our boys would love them. Oh it brings back memories………
i still have my favourite christmas decoration which is a reindeer made out of 2 clothes joined together on either ends of a mini smarties box which is covered in red and green felt with googly eyes.. it is sooo cute, if it wasnt packed away i would get it out and send thru a pic
My favourite Christmas decoration were little birds that were clipped on the tree I still have them from Mum They must be 30 – 40 years old
Favourite Christmas decoration…..the gold angel that used to sit at the top of the tree…..I’m sure it was 50 years old when I was a child, but it just wasn’t christmas without it!
It definitely has to be Tinsel, because it was so shiny and always came in bright vibrant colors. It reminds me of the rhinestones and the colors it comes in when I use them on my pages.
We always had the same decoration each year, so when at high school I decided to make some more. I covered bauble shaped cardboard with coloured material and decorated them with beads and sequins (let ofer from my calisthenics costumes). Mum still uses them today.
a paper angel that i made in school
My favourite decoration from when I was a child was the Angel that sat ontop of our Xmas tree. It was handmade by our nextdoor neighbour in Sydney and once we moved to Brisbane it reminded us of Fulty, every christmas.
my favourite was a little star that i made at school.
I would have to say the xmas decoration i got off santa when i went to david jones in the city each year. my brother and i were taken every year to see santa in sydney and it was such a big deal as we live several hours from the city and this was the only time we went there. i still have them and they go on the tree every year!
sparkly tinsel was a favourite, could do so many things with it, hang it up, tie it in your hair, wrap around posts etc.
my fav christmas decoration was a little blonde angel with a red dress and gold wings. i still have it.
Mum used to have a gold carousel with little horses and candles and when she lit the candles the whole thing would turn and jingle. Was a precious memory of our Christmas’ past.
My mum use to have coloured metal ornaments in the shape of santa, his sleigh and Christmas stockings. They’re hard to describe… flat, but moulded??? I can see them in my mind lol. Anyways I think she still has them… I wonder if she still wants them???
I had a rocking chair with a bear on it. My great aunt bought it when i was born. It still goes on the family tree every year
a reindeer that I made in 1st grade that mum took to work with her and had the office put up every year
My favourite were the gingerbread santas and stars we made with Mum……they looked great – unless we put them too low on the tree and the dog got them!
my favorite xmas decoration on our tree were a pair of glass blown stockings that were covered in glitter ,i dont know what evr came of them when my mum passed but i can say that my girls would have them also
My mum handed down to me a sleigh her friend had made for her-always on my tree:)
The angel-it has always been me special job!
As a child I loved the balloons my grandpa used to rub on his hair and have on the ceiling.
My fav decoration was the very old christmas angel that had been passed on through the generations…looking very worse for wear but symbolising generations of happy fXmas memories for our family!
the blow up Santa that lived at my maternal grandparents
Congrats Sandra… woohooooo!
i so want to go to america, one day …soon i hope
Las Vegas. I got married there -by Elvis of course!
rome- the best part – eating pizza at the trevi fountain (sitting on the united colours of beneton shop window ledge 3 inches off the ground) at sunset and watching a whole world of nations go by
I LOVED Hawaii and was fortunate enough to live there for a year and would love to go back again
Favourite travel destination is Rome – it’s the most inspiring and beautiful city in the world… that I’ve been to so far
my dream is to go to Ireland…one day!
Perth and is was so nice i decided to move there to live.
Thailand! Love the sun, the people, the food, the culture, the shopping ALL OF IT!
Q3 – favourite holiday destination is definitely Italy, in a little hill town. We stayed in one last year and the people, food, lifestyle and photo opportunies were just totally amazing. I’d love to get back there again one day.
We ended up in Dubai in 2006 (wasn’t planned, but couldn’t get home from england!), and ended up loving it!! It is a huge culture shock!
Ireland-but from a few years ago before it got so ‘modern’.I loved going to the pubs in the country towns and meeting all the locals.One of the most beautiful places on earth!!
My favourite travel destination is Broome….although not very far away for me because I’m in Perth my beautiful family meets every year in Broome for an Easter holiday so nothing else compares to having your family together in such a beautiful place!!
The Drakensberg in South Africa, its beautiful with lots of mountains to climb, fresh clear water and caves with Bushman paintings! Winter it snows and the peaks have tis white blanket across them…….wouldn’t hike then but drink hot milo at a fire place in one of the country hotels:-)
I want to travel to GEELONG- i’m from Sydney
I cant wait to come see the Kaisercraft store 
I am in love with Machu Pichu – I dream of being able to hike there at some stage of my life. I love the mystery of this abandoned city, that remanded undiscovered for so long.
Honolulu Hawaii Always plenty to do and see there but also because my brother, sister-in-law and neice live there Because of this I have to visit every second year Well thats my excuse anyway
Favourite place I am looking forward to seeing next year on my OE is the Greek Islands, doing a lovely cruise, getting some awesome snaps for scrapping and partying on Mykonos!!! Yus. : )
The Whitsundays! The scenery is DIVINE!!! ANd its where DH proposed to me after a champagne sunset cruise!!!! How can i not love it. Would love to go back again with the kids, oh the photos.
I’ve always wanted to visit Isreal! Actually I’d love to spend time living on a Kabutz. Thats like a commune and are very common over there. (they’re not like those cult communes!)
have to say Bali – love the people, love the weather and love the shopping………….
I have always wanted to go to Italy. I have a friend who lives in Milan… someday! Pack your bags would work well for that!
my favourite place would be to go to is Jamica.
Bath – I am into family history and that is where my Grandfather was born, I really want to go and see the wonderful public Baths in Bath (sorri) with their wonderful decorations – just think of the inspiration for my scrapbooking i could get from that.
Ok Q3 answer… well before I die darlings I want to go to Tiffanys!!!!!! NY oooh I’d just love to go there to get my photo taken and then come back with the most awesome photos, and scrap the classiest mini album ever!!!!!!!!! (by then kasiercraft will have designed the most fantastic black and white elegant collection ever for me to use…. oh yes and of course lots of tiffanylike embellishements too hehehehe!)
Syria… not much there to see other than desert, but the people we met along the way were absolutely amazing. An old Arab woman pointed to a travel friend’s tattoos and then lifted her long black robes to reveal all her tattoos. The looks she got from the Arabic men was rather startling. Hope she didn’t get into trouble for revealing her legs to strangers. Would gladly go back again if the state of the world was a little different.
last december we came to melbourne for 5 days, the main reason was because I wanted to visit the kaisercraft store. We had a great time in the city for a few days, then went to phillip island and drove back to geelong via portsea and queenscliff via car ferry. It was just my 14 year old daughter and myself and we had a fantastic time. For a short getaway it was really great and fun packed.
Ihave just come back from the Simpson Desert. It was amazing, you can’t imagine it, the colours, the beauty I have come back so inspired with over 900 photos to scrap!
Not far from me, but I love the Grampians. Although I haven’t been across to W.A. yet… so that’s definitely on my list!
I would love to visit my in-laws in India one day and show our boys a new culture. On the flip side a holiday at home with no interuptions would be bliss too as we always seem to be too busy to enjoy home time.
The most beautiful place I have been to is Greece, it not only has the most delicious food but it also has the most spectacular places including it’s wonderful crisp clean islands that many flock to yaer after year.
My favourite travel destination is Las Vegas because it is where hubby and I got married. It was in a nice chapel with lovely music and flowers and nice staff who helped with our arrangements by phone from Australia.
We are going back soon for our 10th anniversary.

Phuket……oldest son conceived there on our honeymoon!
This is going to sound boring, but it was a recent roadtrip we had from Brisbane to Canberra and back. It was our first family holiday with out 3 year old twins girls – we all had a fantastic time, great memories and great photo’s to scrap!
Paris, I was on secondment, working in London for 2 months. One weekend I went to Paris, on my own, not speaking a word of French, but had an AMAZING time. My wish is to take my husband one day, and see the sun set from the Eifel Tower, like I did 10 years ago.

My favourite childhood memory is spending all my school holidays on the beach as I lived by the sea.
riding my bike with friends in the afternoon’s and getting home just as the sun was going down.
Q4 – my dad teaching me to ride a bike with no training wheels. saying he was holding on, but he had actually let go 30 seconds before. I turned around and fell off (like most kids do). but it was a moment I never felt more proud of myself for doing such a big girl thing by myself.
tough one as i have a shocking memory but i loved spending weekends at the lake swimming all day and basically only getting out to eat and my turn at water skiing (oh and ofcourse loo breaks!)
Roller skating at the roller skating rink!! I was just talking about this today!! I had the fluro socks to go with them and thought I was so cool!!
Fave childhood memory to rewind to would have to be spending Saturdays at the Roller Skating Rink!
Sunny carefree days at the beach followed by a cool shower and a return to the beach to watch the moon on the water with a group of friends. Oh to have that freedom these day – must scrap that memory!
My first Christmas, aged 5, waking up to ‘stockings’ (pillowcases) hanging on the end of the bed. We were really poor so it was such a huge shock to actually get something that day. All I remember is the joy (and not the toys!) lol
I have great memories of family summers at the beach with a picnic and as a treat we always got an icecream from ” Mr Whippy” It was an icecream cart that served soft ices
Favourite memory
Running amok at dad’s work picnic. They were brilliant, rides, food, presents, lollies and Santa in a helicopter what more could you ask for?
Fav childhood memory to rewind back to: My first sight of snow on a Golf course in Taupo on a family roadtrip…we made snow men and some boys knocked mine over so Dad cam e over to the rescue and scared the little brats away! I was only about 7 or 8. : )
Favourite childhood memory would be annual holidays to the beach – it was so simple but so great, and an icecream went a long way as a kid!
Childhood memory I would like to rewind to would be starting high school – so many things to look forward to, such excitement, Mum and Dad being happy for me, joining my two older sisters at high school…. can’t believe it is almost 30 years ago!
I loved the Gala parade in Geelong especially because my Dad was in it (he was a postie). I would stand on the side of the road and wait for him – I’d sing out “Hi Dad”!!!! – I was so proud to be his daughter.
Christmas at my Grandma’s with the beautiful little stockings she lovinglymade for us all for Christmas morning. Then down to the tinkling shells as the water washed over them at Hervey Bay-so endlessly fascinating as a child!
Rewind to Christmas Day most years as a child – it always started with just the family and present giving, followed quickly with an influx of people who had no other place to go on Christmas day, a great lunch, lots of love and laughs!
Having family holidays together, we now have grown up and all living our own lives my 3 sisters and I and my parents.
Dancing on the side of a lake with a boombox, a friend, and my 4 year old cousin just a few weeks after she was adopted from Vietnam. That was a fun day.
meeting my new baby sister when i was 4, we are both adopted and it was extremely exciting at the time!!
my favourite childhood memory would be when i got my first dolly for christmas.
Q4 – climbing into bed with my auntie in the morning and listening to stories from her childhood. I felt safe and secure and loved to have my back tickled.
My favourite childhood memory would be when Mum used to take us to the bakery on special weekends for a treat and would buy us monkey bread and monkey buscuits! In reality it was just a pipe loaf and jam buscuits but we thought it was so special!!
roller skating too for me…..the freedom of those days long gone
if i could rewind to a child hood memory it would be goin to the football with my nan even though im not a footy fan its wen were were alone together that was so special doin something she loved being 89 this yr shes to old to go.
Favourite childhood memory – jumping through sprinklers on a hot summer’s day!
Looking back and i know it is a little sad but if i could rewind a childhood memory it would be the last visit to england before my grannie passed away. i really loved her and i did not get to say goodbye and would have loved to spend so much more time with her.
My favourite childhood memory is of the long christmas holidays spent down at the south coast of nsw at Windang. With all my family. they seemed to go on forever.
I would rewind to my knitting lessons with my nana and pay MORE attention next time.
would love to rewind back to my grandparents and colouring in on their enclosed verandah and eating as many biscuits as I liked from my grandma’s green biscuit tin, and my grandpa making me blue cheese sandwiches and picking fresh carrots with the green “tops” still on…yummo
being cuddled up inside my dads dressing gown whilst he was wearing it. i cant believe i was that small, but i still feel the security and the bond. i am a daddys little girl for sure.
My favourite childhood memory – wow that’s hard to pin point but I remember travelling to England when I was 10 to meet my paternal grandparents – at one point on the trip my sister and myself went to get the take away Indian with our father for dinner – Of course it was prawn vindaloo and my sister was wearing a bright pink long sleeved jumpsuit as you did in the eighties!! Well she go it all over her and being bright pink herself – ended up being renamed the ” PINK PRAWN” by our grandmother…. She still has not lived it down to this day….. Sorry about the length Alison…
my favorite childhood memories would have to be xmas morning , growing up with a single mum ,i was always spoilt and my mum always tried her very best and made sure she filled nearly every wish i had for xmas ……
The day I got my white kitten – snowy.It turned out he was deaf which made it better for me as I could talk to him hours on end and he’d just lie there.He was my best friend for many years.
Spending time with my great grandparents. Listening to the stories, running through the sprinklers, learning to play musical instruments the list is endless. I loved visiting them:)
I’d go back to the simple times, where I would be a content little girl making doll houses from cardboard boxes. I would play for hours creating curtains, furniture, clothes etc.
Time with my mum, she past away when I was only 21, would love to have some more time with her….
Every year during autumn we had a family photo opp. It was my brother and I raking up the leaves. It was a yearly record of us and the garden. A scrapbook page just waiting to be made, just need to search through all the colour slides to find the photos.
I would have to say Thanksgiving. I loved it when the entire family got together. We have a large family. It was always so much fun.
It would have to going to Butlins in the UK and early in the morning going around on the train with shakers to wake up the campers!!!!
I remember sitting on my bedroom floor for hours on end, cutting out pictures of Princess Diana and sticking them into special scrapbooks. Everyone would save me pictures of her from newspapers and magazines.
Cindy
Cutting up magazines, thinking one day i would be a cretive artist
Paper (can’t live without it), Bling and Buttons. Just love them.
pattern paper, rhinestones and ink!
Q5 – I would take Bling, Flowers and Butterflies as they seem to appear on many of my cards and layouts.
I would take with me a kaiser mag for inspiration, bling to pretty it up and some papers from the Offshore collection. (seeing as we are on an island!)
3 tools hmmm
some wavy scissors, my good journalling pen and some ink
photos of my loved ones
glitter (helpful for if I get lost and need to signal people using the sun)
ink pad – to make funky prints of things i find around the island
paper
bling
and brads
I would take patterned paper, alpha stickers and some rubons.
can i take the Kaiser manufacturing plant with me? no, well if i had to take 3 real products with me it would be a stack of patterned paper, a barrel full of bling and carton of chocolate, -yes I class chocolate as a scrapbook product, I can’t scrap without it!
I love ColourWash spray so that would have to come. I also couldn’t live without my Dimensional Magic and I think acetate is super versatile (overlays, cut-outs, masking, stamp placement) so I’d have to have a stash of that too!
Definitely my distress edger, Kaiser Craft paper flowers, and some ink pads! (Love to ink my flowers!)
Q5 – 3 things I would want to take to scrapbook on an island – so hard, i never know what i want until i start the page, but my brads would be first in the basket, then my Offshore Collection and finallythe kaiser glass varnish to add a bit of depth to the page with the beautiful golden sand collected from the island
1. cardstock
2. offshore collection
3. transparenices
Patterned Paper, Letter stickers and my journalling pens – I have them in 20 colours – something to match anything!!!
i would have to take the new lilac avenue papers and accessories, as well as the q2 magazines to use some of the ideas.
Paper, stamps and ink
The Kaiser btp bird house, the new christmas carnival papers and some rhinestones to bling it up and i would make a christmas card holder as seen on the website……love it.
I would take papers, cardstock and chipboard(possibly a cool drink too)
mmm big decision here ,it would have to be patterned papers ,rubons and bling
Patterned paper, pearls and a black pen – you can create so much so easily with these items…the pen can be used to create stitching, journalling, edging on items you cut out of the paper and the pearls add that lovely extra touch.
I would definitely take my scrapbooking buddies for the laughs, lots of precious photos and lots of chonks to keep us going and going, forget the bathers there will be no time for a swim !!!
Patterned paper of course, bling and my favourite family photos to scrap.
Three things that I would take: a never ending pen, an album to fill and all my photos I would still like to scrap……
Would have to take paper (heaps), bling, stamps – can’t live without. Hope there is a shop there!!!!
Patterned paper-confirmed paper junkie, ink and lots of bling………………what more could a girl want?
I would need
1. A very large pad of patterned paper
2. Extra large bag of kaiser Bling
3. Rubons for my words
Going to a ‘crop’ on an island i’d have to take 1)patterned papers, 2)alpha stickers, & 3) bling. my 3 must haves on a layout.
Offshore paper collection, Chipboard letters and Photos- i would use the sand, shells and any other gems found on the island as embellishments:)
I am a card maker, so A5 card stock, stamps and water colour pencils (given to me by my brother for my birthday many years ago). I now appreciate them, more than I initailly did, and the wonderful gift he have me.
Scrap products for my island crop
How about
Party time mega kit
My memory stick
and my laptop?
BLING (you can never have to much bling!)
Kaiser Paint, I use this on nearly every project I do
and last but not least a Kaiser Clear Album!
Cindy
A huge stash of kaiser papers, kaiser bling/pearls and my kaiser rubons…and if i had room in my scrapbag i would try to stash my pen so i can journal a little.
I’d have to say the Offshore collection for the waves and beachy feel – paper range, stamps and rub ons would be my essentionals.
Question 5 – It would have to be my Kaiser paper collection, rhinestones & flowers and of course my wonderful coffee machine & COFFEE in order to stay awake to make the most of the peace and quiet……
The answer to this one is so easy, WHITE CHRISTMAS. It is fun to make with the kids and soooooo yummy
The best thing we have to eat on xmas day is the awesome fruit platter Mum makes to have with breakfast. Nothing like the bright colours of summer fruits, cherry, mango, watermelon, nectarines etc. Really cool photo shot too! : )
Q6.. My favourite Chrissy recipe has to be White Christmas… I just love it to pieces
TRIFLE……so wished it was my Grandma’s trifle but i have a go each year, and well it all gets eaten …so must not be too bad :0)
Q6 – Favourite christmas recipe – my christmas pudding, cooked in the old fashion calico cloth, handed down from my great grand mum, grandmother, mum and now me and yes i am passing it on to my daughter. I just wish we could still put the 3d in like the old days. The best bit of christmas was seaching the christmas pudding for the 3d
My favourite xmas recipe/food is galantine which has been handed down from my French grandma. My mum used to make it every Christmas and only at Christmas. It’s a meatloaf made from pork and bacon.
fav food for xmas would definitely have to be pork crackle.. best thing ever invented !!! along with Kaisercraft products that is…
mine would have to be all the exotic tropical fruit.
My favourite Christmas food would have to be Brandied Apricot and Almond Balls – they are quick and easy to make and always a hit at Christmas Lunch.
Nanna’s Christmas pudding!! with the ice cream and Brandy icing!!! must have….mmmmm it’s so yummy cold and you get a little tipsy as well…mmmmm
White Christmas ,not only is it yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but its the only way i will ever have a white christmas living in country WA.
Our local cake shop makes gorgeous ‘petit fours’ with Christmas decorations on top. They are just delish:)
Turkey! Is there anything better? We only get it twice a year Christmas day and Boxing Day. Mmmm.
TRIFLE wins hands down, what better way to celebrate a traditional Aussie Summer Xmas. We have had it every Xmas for as long as I can remember.
Caramel tarts-boil a whole tin of condensed milk in tin for 2 hours, pour into tart cases. Top with whipped cream-yummy! May not sound too festive, but have made it for years and all love it.
SEAFOOD…..Lobsters and prawns and calamari we go all out at Christmas time its the one time of the year it s ok to splurge on so much seafood. Oh and the christmas desserts are all wonderful toooo.
That is easy for me. White chocolate peppermint fudge. I make it every year, and not to boast, but it is absolutely delicious! I stole the recipe from my sister’s high school best friend’s mom. Best stolen recipe ever!
My fave christmas food is my sister’s summer pudding – lots of lovely fresh berries! When having a cold (northern hemisphere ) winter, I love hot spiced apple cider!
Question 6: Having emigrated from the UK it would still have to be Roast Turkey and the Trimmings and not forgetting homemade Christmas Pudding……….. mmmmm
That’s a hard one, as we like the idea of trying new recipes… but usually going back to our fav’s. I guess my favourite type of recipe/food is one that we only do at Christmas – Christmas Pudding, it’s my favourite Christmas food tradition and I got the job of baking the pudding last year, with many more to come!
Every Christmas we have a chocolate ripple cake. Acouple of packs of choc ripple biscuits and 600 ml whipped cream sweetened with sugar and vanilla. Then sandwich the biscuits with cream into a line, put three or four side by side. Then cover the whole thing with leftover whipped cream. Must be made the night before, so that the biscuits soften and the flavour develops. Nothing complicated or fussy like plum pudding, but our family tradition and Christmas just isn’t the same without it.
every year since 1984, I have made apricot jam from dried apricots.I add almonds to represent apricot kernels, and give the decorated jars for presents. I also make the yummiest almond bread, which I have been making for the last 15years.
some of you may have even been born after 1984!
eating boiled fruit cake for breakfast every year
My very favourite Christmas recipe is Mini Plum Puddings. These are made with a pre-made fruit cake crumbled & mixed with a little christmas cheer, rolled into little puds, & topped with white chocolate & a little teeny bit of glace cherry. Easy to make, fun to look at & great eating!
Without a doubt that would have to be Nana Val’s RUM BALLS, with a close second being her traditional boiled fruit cake. Nana Val being my Mother in Law.
