Last Day Of 2009

Well here it is and hasn't the year just flown. It has been an interesting year filled with travel & scrapbooking & meeting new people around the place. It's been good to "live well, laugh often & love much" & to try lots of new things & see places we haven't seen before & learn lots of new things in the process. My wish for 2010 is happiness, health & wealth with lots of time for scrapbooking! May you find all the good things that life has to offer.

7 sleeps till Chrissy

With all the Christmas cards made & posted out (I still like the old fashioned way of sending & receiving cards through snail mail!) I started on cards for next year. These are the "Summer Bright" cards we did in our card class at the Greenbank Scrapbook Shop. The shopping has all been done for Christmas celebrations and with any luck I won't have to venture near a shopping centre again until next year! Wishing everyone a joyous peaceful Christmas and great blessings in 2010. Happy Scrapping!

Season of Joy

Only 24 sleeps 'til Santa comes! Oh how I love the Christmas Season. The tree is decorated & the decorations are up! I don't have too many nic-nacs out this year with my 2 1/2year old grandson in the house. He is pretty good with not playing with everything & he is so excited about the tree too. We went with a silver & white theme on a green tree this year. Some of our older decorations were looking a bit sad. I like to make a Christmas decoration each year and this year I am making advent Christmas trees. Since they are only half finished I should hurry up & make them before Christmas is over!! The Christmas cards are made & sent out already so I guess I'm not doing too badly. The Chrissy pressies won't be under the tree until Christmas Eve(2 year old again! & big kid 23year old!!) so I'm putting a long length of tulle under the tree to cover up the stand. These layouts are from Christmas past.
