Happy 2010

Thanks to all the lovely people who have popped into my blog in 2009 - I am still deliberating over my "word" for 2010 - a couple have popped into my head and out again and did not really resonate with me for this new year.

I am up to my 11th layout for 2010 and I am "on a roll"!! I am really looking forward to Feb 5th as my very first layout will be published in Scrapbook Creations! This was a scrapping goal I probably thought would never be realised, but it is soon to be so!

HAPPY NEW 2010

This morning I was blog hopping and came across this and thought I would share it
It was on the talented Jolene P.'s blog

LAST DAY OF 2009

Wow and how hot is it
I want to share some photos from Christmas day, and would like to wish all my lovely readers a safe and prosperous 2010...
I will ponder my 2010 word tonight with a glass of champers and my scraptable!
last year's word was BALANCE well I had some balance but not as much as I had hoped!

The first three are of my nephew Scott throwing Mia into the air!

This one if of my neice Elyssa (who is 39) trying out Mia's Jumping Jax Santa left for her!

This is my darling Sister Dee and Scott's fiance poppy mucking around with the prawn heads

life stuff

I think I say this every year, where did this one go? My girls will go into years 3 *(Mia) and 2(Ella)
When your children are babies, people often comment about how quickly they grow up before your eyes and I used to nod and smile and think - no way I cannot even imagine these tiny babies going to school - but blink and it happens!!
I am grateful for my family and for how hard my husband works so we can send them to Christian College for their education.

LAST NIGHT

Last night I went out for our Create on Garden first ever Staff Christmas party!
Marisa took myself, Shelley and Kristina out for a meal at a Thai restaurant in Geelong.
It was sooo much fun, we even talked Shelley into trying kangaroo for the first time!
It was lovely to go out without children and talk grown up talk for once!
Thanks Marisa it was a lovely night out!
