HAPPY HOLIDAY'S EVERYONE!!!!


My Christmas post is a little late but I wanted to share some photo's from our day, and just to say that I hope anyone who looks here had a wonderful day with family and friends and loved ones ... we had a brilliant day with loads of family here .... good friends to share with day with as well and plenty of good food and drink to go around! The kids had a blast and were more than impressed with what Santa left for them! The celebrations have continued into the weekend and will keep going through until New Years! I LOVE this time of the year ... I love being around the people we love and taking time out to enjoy each others company before the madness of the new Year begins!!!!!!! A late Merry Christmas to everyone .... many good wishes for the New Year ... I hope it's a good one for you all. xo

Nan's Calendar


Each year my Nan receives a calendar from my sister-in-law with family photo's ... Kate was unable to do it this year so I did it for her ... I was inspired by Julieann and some of the classes she did at Scrapsidaisy and so this is what I came up with ... Nan just LOVES it and I'm pretty happy too! I've just had a look at Julieann's blog (see my sidebar) and have noticed she has also done some creations with the same yummy papers! Great minds and all that!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHARON!!!!!!!!!!


One of my 'bestest' (not a real word I know!) friends recently celebrated her 40th birthday and was going to have a huge party but in the end decided not to ... well of course we couldn't let it go by without something so another of her sneaky friends and I organized a small surprise get together for her with just a few of her close friends ... we had an absolute blast organizing it!!!!! We really wanted a special evening for a very special person who must have the biggest heart of anyone I know ... everything she does is for someone else so we needed this night to be just for her ... she had NO idea and I think had a fabulous night ... Happy Birthday Sharon!!!!!!!

Place cards at each setting .... the "It's all good because it's ALL ABOUT YOU" is a little joke between a couple of us! Sharon keeps reminding us that her b'day is "all about her" and my partner-in-crime in organizing the night always finishes everything she says with "it's all good" which drives Sharon to despair ... so we just HAD to include it!!!!!!!! We even had 'Happy 40th Sharon ... it's all about YOU' on her cake!!!!!

Happy Birthday Tay!!!!!



Today is my gorgeous daughter, Taylah's, 9th birthday! And what a day it has been! Full of visits from family and friends, a sleep-over last night, party today ... and of course lots of presents, cake and lollies!!!!!

Her party was held at our LSS, SCRAPSIDAISY, and the girls had a fabulous time! They made little post-it-note boxes, and then each girl made a page for an album for Tay with a little birthday message for her. The most gorgeous keepsake for years to come - I'll add photo's to it during the week and she will be able to look back at it years from now and remember her special day.

Leisa did a fantastic job looking after all the girls and afterwards a few of them declared it was the 'best party they have ever been to'!

Now she's very excited about a trip to Sydney tomorrow for the night. We will be visiting the Powerhouse Museum to go to the 'Diana Collection' which is over from Althorp! I'm VERY excited about that ... she's not so much!!!!!!! A very special friend of mine from New Zealand is coming over for the week so we will be going to that together, along with her 11 year old daughter who Tay absolutely adores - I think seeing her is what she is more excited about! Of course there will be lots of shopping as well which is always something to look forward to ... along with long chats and lots of catching up!

So, of course with all the birthday organizing and getting ready to go away and then have our friends here all week, I haven't done any creating! Hopefully next week when everything settles down a little!

Until then ... hope you are all good and not too busy in the lead up to Christmas! Time for me to head to bed ...

Happy Birthday Tay ... we love you so much xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
