just quickly adding these....
Below is the second half of my Dec Daily Dairy...

These gorgeous things were birthday and Christmas gifts from my gorgeous and very talented friend Sheree...

This is a very quick layout I did yesterday, not quitte happy with it as I think it needs a bit more of something??? What do you think???

Signed up for Kim's Seven workshop...looking forward to getting creative..

Thats all for now

Christmas is over for another year and we are now into 2009....

I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and that Santa spoilt you all...

I got spoilt by lovely hubby...as always..

I got this little cute camera so I can carry it round in my handbag...

And I also go this...

And this also!!!!...

I have not had much of a chance to use either of them yet but I am sure when things slow down I will have fun playing with them..

The kids all loved what Santa had brought for them....

Georgia with her camera...

Chloe got P!nk tickets....

Velvet with doll and tea set...

Jasper on his new bike...

I have finished my December Daily Album...I am so happy with how it has turned out...I will add photos of it next time.

The holidays are flying along quite quickly, the kids are doing swimming lessons in Bendigo next week so that will keep us busy for 5 days.... After that I don't have anything planned...But I think Chloe has other ideas....she is on the phone ATM organising a sleep over with her friends..

Other than xmas get together and eating heaps of yummy food we have not done anything else so I will finish with a few photos taken over the past week... (with my little Canon and big Canon)

Take care and I hope that 2009 is a great year for you and your family...

Create08 was unreal....

I have not got time now to add photos or to write much but I do want to say that Heidi was so inspiring and I am not just talking about scrapbooking, I am talking about life.....

I caught up with Leeanne and Ngaire and I meet Angela and Marelle.

Thanks Bri for being the taxi driver, I hope you got to bed early and had a good sleep.

I will be back soon with photos and more.

Well here we are 7th December...oh my where has the year gone!!!

There has been so much going on the last few weeks that I have no idea where to start so I will just add a few photos....

These 2 photos make me laugh..........

My Christmas photo shoot was a total disaster... no one wanted to smile or look at the same time and then we had tears....300 photo later and still not one Christmas theme photo was suitable for our Christmas card!!!! Oh well we tried a again a few hours later minus the hats, antlers etc and we did manage to get one 1/2 decent photo, but I wont show it on here just yet...

Here are a few silly ones...I think I really should of used these...

These next few are photos I took today

Jasper jumping into a puddle...

Velvet on the swing in the nude covered in mud...

And last week Velvet with piggy tails in her hair (there is about 5 hairs in each..LOL)

I received this lovely blog award from there by these two gorgeous girls

One little word ......lots of inspiration here!!!

Celine....funky, cool...just love her style

Silje...LOVE the tats and her style

Jennifer...very cute...

Create08 is only 11 sleeps away...OMG...I am getting excited

I have done a little bit of scrapping but as yet have not photographed it...I will try and get it done ASAP.... Like lots of you out there I am doing a December daily mini album... will try and upload some of my pages too

That's all I can think of at the moment, while I have been tying this I have boiled my hard boiled eggs (protein snack) dry...grrr

Hope you all have your Christmas shopping finished???? I have!!! woo hoo !!!

Till next time, take care
