I hope your all enjoying your holidays. With this wild weather we are having here in sunny Qld, i have been able to do some scrapbooking and not feel guilty that I'm not out side working in the garden which so needs a lot of attention. But while I'm enjoying all this scrapping time, I've drawn a blank on a layout that I'm working on so i thought i would share some of work with you all...

I hope to share some more with you soon

Happy New Year to you all.

Take Care

Christmas Day 2007

I was worried that as my girls get older that Christmas wouldn't be as much fun...Well how wrong was I. This year for the first time in many years, we did not have to wake the girls instead the girls woke us up. I found the 7am wake up scream and jump on the bed by both a little hard to handle as the night before we had to wait for the girls to go to bed and that didn't happen till about 1.30am...i could wait any longer so i called it a night at 12.30am and left it up to Glenn to put the stocking in the girls rooms.... The girls we well and truly ready for presents..they had moved the coffee table out of the way, and even got the garbage bag for all the paper. So with presents unwrapped and a beautiful bacon and eggs breakfast we all decided to hit the rumpas room and give the Nintendo Wii a go....I'm sorry but i just can't bring myself to making an absolute idiot of myself and left that job up the the others...I must say i haven't laughed so much in ages... Glenn has spent more time on the game than the girls...

Tonight I had the realization of my baby girl growing up slap me in the face... Ashleigh had her year 7 Graduation. I was so proud of her, but what topped the night for me was how beautiful she was all dressed up...I know as parents we are all biast, but hey were aloud to be....

I cant wait to scrapbook these photos, and as usual i took to many....or should i say as a scrapbooker that i probably didn't take enough....

Speaking of scrapbooking i have been busy at work with mum still in hospital, but i am happy to say she should be home for Christmas. To look at her you would never know she had a stroke, and she is walking really well now....as busy as i have been i have still managed to get some scrapbooking done...my favorite at the moment is a desk calender that i have done for next year. I have 3 big birthdays in our house next year...13th - 16th - and a 40th so that will explain the photos to go with every month... I have also done a clock that i will share just as soon as i find the right verse to go on it...I'm just loving off the page work at the moment, especially this time of year.

I hope you all have a great week and for those of you who are like me and still have a little Christmas shopping to do, good luck with those crowds, finding a parking space, waiting in those long lines at the check outs....so tell me again why i aways leave things to the last minute...

Take care
