All I Want For Christmas Is You

I know there are many who think it's still far too early to be thinking about Christmas, but I'm guessing none of those people are crafters...for us, it's never too early ;) hahaha!

I can't tell you how happy I am that it's Friday!  My husband returns from his business trip tonight so I'm looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend with him and the children :)

Happy Friday and I hope you have a truly wonderful weekend!

No Peeking

There are only 134 sleeps (approximately) before Christmas, which means as crafters, we're running out of preparation time! ;) hahaha

We're two thirds the way through the children's summer break and I have to say, my batteries (and my patience!) are running dangerously low, time to hand them over to uncles, aunties and grandparents for a little bit! hahaha

Happy Monday and I hope you have a magnificent week :)

Purrfect Gift

I had to make a handful of thank you cards for my children to write and send after Christmas, much to the reluctance of my son who deemed these cards uncool haha...

Age Gets Better With Wine

I know these sentiments are a little juvenile, but they do make me chuckle...which says a lot about me ;) haha!

Forget the Present

I don't mind not receiving presents, I stopped celebrating my birthday when the numbers started getting too big! ;) haha!

This is my penultimate card for this evening, which is just as well because I'm struggling to keep my eyes open *yawn*  Not only has it been a hectic day at the theme park but I also had a bit of a late night out with my husband yesterday...I'm getting too old for all this activity! lol
