All in a Bunch

NEW PRODUCT !!

I have a very close friend who loves what I do - so usually when I get her call of "MAKE ME SOMETHING PLEASE" --- my eyes light up as it equals --- DO WHAT EVER I WANT :) <3 <3 <3 with only small requests of 'colour' and of course 'budgets' I get to play and design or create from the inspirational listings I have (which i will say are a million miles long!!! lol) ...........

Eyeing off a while ago I was waiting for the perfect order to introduce the 'Topiary" range --- starting off I went on creating the "Malteaser Giant Topiary" for a Birthday Girl turning 22........ The outcome was AMAZING!!! With over 930 views on Facebook and still climbing the requests have started coming through - within less then a week I have been able to organise and create not only the Malteaser, but also a Flake & Jelly Bean..... with preorders of a Ferrero Rocher, Custom Colour Jelly Bean (Pink & Purple) & MICKEY MOUSE EARS!!!! So exciting!!!







MOTHERS DAY 

"Motherhood is a choice you make everyday to put someone else's happiness and well-being ahead of your own. <3 to teach the hard lessons to do the right thing even when you're not sure what the right thing is... and to forgive yourself over and over again for doing everything wrong"

*** Wishing you all a Happy Mothers day --- to me, to my mum, to my nan, my sisters, my family, my friends, to you, to all the Wonderful mums out there -- I HOPE YOU HAVE HAD A FANTASTIC DAY!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY   ~The Wonder Factory FB

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much" ~ Helen Keller

The Wonder Factory FACEBOOK Status update

It is funny sometimes - we all sit and think "OMG what am I doing with my life - seriously nothing happens!" but then we step back a little and look - wide eyed - WOW look how much has changed!!!!

Everyone that comes into our lives has passed by for a reason - some stay for a while some are a brief meeting - but ALL have their purpose.

So many people have come into my life & so many have left - yet I look at each one as INSPIRATION..... 

THANK YOU for being YOU !! Thank you for showing me the person I want to be - Thank you for not even knowing you are the reason I am working how I am now!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING A SPECIAL PART OF WHAT MAKES ME ME - Without you (even the 'bad' encounters) I wouldn't be able to push myself to get where I am and where I plan to go..... 

EVERY DAY IS AN OPPORTUNITY - USE IT TO REACH WHERE YOU WANT TO GO & GO FURTHER THAN YOU EVER EXPECTED <3 <3

How it starts...


"Forget the risk and take the fall - if it's what you want then it's worth it all" 

So today I start a blog :/ It is hard to sit here and describe - who I am and what I am doing... To give you an insight into the current ventures and the future endeavours I guess, its best to tell you part of the past..... What is it that has led to the establishment of "The Wonder Factory" 

How it starts......  

Since I can remember, and possibly since my mum knew - I was always going to end up in something "Crafty", but like many - "How can something Crafty be considered a Career?"

I took to the like of Office - and made a successful career in Business, the Security Industry to be exact. I left my Crafts as a side hobby, every now and then doing the odd job for family or friends..... Through this time I also grew on my own Family - a LARGE family with eyes wide every time I disclose I have FIVE children :) <3 

After some major shift changes in my life (I will keep those personal - coz hey some things we should keep to ourselves :) ) I became the "At Home Mum" 

With more time on my hands - I started to get 'requests' (I know "more time?" "Five Children" --- how !! :) But requests were made - some Cakes for birthdays, some Gifts for friends............... and as word of mouth traveled the requests started picking up & they started challenging me getting more detailed with imagination..... 

I realised - how was I wrong ........... My Craft is a Skill....... My Craft is a Career.......... My Craft is "The Wonder Factory"

Now with a smile on my face daily I am enjoying my hobby as my establishing career & looking to create, create and create some more - Make a request or skim past works - anything you need the options are endless <3 <3 <3

Join me in my Travel to what I vision will end up something Big :) 


Grateful everyday - Thank you Thank you Thank you
