Take the plunge and get your breasts checked!

I booked both my mum and I for our Mammograms last week

Have you just turned 40? Did you know that you are now eligible to have a FREE Mammogram?

I had my first Mammogram at 40 and when I shared it here on my blog I had so many of my beautiful followers reach out to let me know that they had gone in to have their breasts checked. I felt so proud that I was helping to get the word out there about early detection through mammograms.

But the most mind blowing thing that happened was that three of those women tested positive for breast cancer and said that if it wasn’t for my post they would have waited till they were 45 to have had their first mammogram or until they felt something, which may have been to late.

So with each Mammogram I have I will pop it up here to remind you all to get yours boobies checked! I am happy to report that all 3 women fought this insidious disease and won their battle.

Did you know that as women, one of the most important check-ups we should be getting is a mammogram. This is a test that can help detect breast cancer in its early stages, which greatly increases the chances of successful treatment.

It’s important to note that breast cancer can occur at any age, but the risk increases as we get older. This is why it’s recommended that women aged 40 and over have a mammogram every two years. Women with a family history of breast cancer may need to start having mammograms at an earlier age or have them more frequently.

Mammograms are FREE from the age of 40!!!!

There are also a number of lifestyle factors that can affect your risk of developing breast cancer. These include maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol intake, and getting regular exercise. It’s also important to be aware of any changes in your breasts, such as lumps, swelling, or discharge, and to report these to your doctor.

Every woman should do a Breast Self Examination once a month!

If you’re feeling anxious about your first mammogram, it can help to talk to friends or family members who have had the test before. You can also contact Breast Screen Queensland for more information or support. They are an amazing organisation!

So if this blog post has made you think about booking your first mammogram or wondering when your last test was then reach to Breast Screen Australia and book your appointment today! This test is so quick and painless and potentially could save your life!

Having a mammogram is one small step that could make the biggest difference in your health and wellbeing.

Happy Crafting

This past weekend was truly magical as my eldest s This past weekend was truly magical as my eldest son Sean tied the knot with his beautiful bride, Maddison ❤️

It was a heartfelt ceremony filled with love and joy and made even more special as it was in the same church my husband and I were married in 25 years earlier. 
I couldn't resist adding some extra special touches to make their day even more memorable with the help of my Stampin’Up products. I crafted some little details that added a personal and creative flair to their celebrations ( photos to come) 

As we welcome Maddison into our family, I want to express my heartfelt congratulations to the newlyweds. May your journey together be filled with love, happiness, and endless beautiful memories. 💍💕

Missing out on celebrating Backstage in Las Vegas Missing out on celebrating  Backstage in Las Vegas with my incredible Stampin’Up family is tough, all thanks to my stubborn heart! 💔 
But you know what they say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade! 🍋 Thanks to my amazing husband, we took a trip down memory lane to Montville, where we celebrated our honeymoon 25 years ago. We revisited those cherished memories, and it turned out to be the most beautiful day. ❤️ 
I am so grateful for the love, support, and the silver lining in every situation. Here's to making the most out of life's twists and turns!

Today we ventured out to a bar/cafe I spotted on T Today we ventured out to a bar/cafe I spotted on TikTok and I am so glad we did! The food was absolutely delicious and we loved the atmosphere! 

Illusion by no.5 is an extraordinary 2D bar and cafe that literally feels like you've stepped into an optical illusion, tucked away off Winn Lane in Ann St, Fortitude Valley.

✂️💌Crafting often allows us to explore and appreciate things from different dimensions, much like how this cafe's optical illusion design provides a unique perspective. Just as you stepped into a 2D bar that felt multidimensional, crafting lets us create and view things from various angles, enhancing our creativity and perception.
Make sure you check this gorgeous cafe out when your next in Brisbane!

Guess what? I just checked off a major bucket list Guess what? I just checked off a major bucket list item – I finally made it to the Ekka! 🎡🍿 And let me tell you, it was an absolute blast!

From indulging in all the delicious and diverse foods to exploring the show bags galore, my day was filled with non-stop fun. But that's not all – I couldn't resist diving into the world of cards, scrapbook entries, and those oh-so-intricate cakes.I might even pop one in myself next year!💌

I was lucky to have my son Declan, my sister Belinda and my beautiful niece Lucy by my side, making the day even more memorable. The laughter, the excitement, and the joy of experiencing the Ekka together was truly heartwarming. 💖

Thank you for following along on this incredible journey with me and if you haven't been to the Ekka before make sure to put it on your list – it's an experience you won't want to miss!

Yesterday was such a blast celebrating Keira’s 1 Yesterday was such a blast celebrating Keira’s 13th birthday! 🎂

I hosted a custom-made Stampin’Up! birthday party using Keira’s favourite stamp set, Birds Eye View! 

We started the day with a strawberry mock-tail and then crafted the morning away making 2 cards, a coordinating gift box and a super cute mobile phone charm. Which I must say was a hit! 

Keira and her friends had such a fun morning  learning a new craft, savoured  a sumptuous platter and enjoying the most delicious birthday cake made by her very talent mum!

Happy 13th Birthday gorgeous girl! #cazzboylan #craftingwithcazz #stampinup #stampinupaustralia #ourcraftingfuture #KeyraTurns13 #BirthdayBash #StampinUpParty #CraftyFun #HappyBirthdayKeira
