It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

December is here already. Where did that year go??? I love this time of year, it's always hectic and social just the way I like it. Luckily we have had a couple of quiet weekends after our hectic November and then from next weekend it starts again up until Boxing Day.

Last night Madeleine and I put up the xmas tree while watching ELF the movie. That is such a cute movie it always makes me smile. Every year I get a kick out of unwrapping the Christmas ornaments and decorations, seeing which of my fav decorations I unearth first and then deciding on where it should hang on the tree. The tree is like a work of art to me; lots of thought and planning got into each and every placement.
























Madeleine is getting excited about grade 6 graduation, only a couple of weeks to go now before the big night. Yesterday we went over to Wendy's for her to make a few adjustments to the dress so it sits nicely on the night. So with a dart here and and adjustment there a little bit of lace the dress is going to look fantastic.

The visit to Wendy's was twofold, yes the dress was one. However the main reason was to visit Billy the kitten. Harry got his kitten on the Saturday, and what a cutie pie he is. so very very sweet, but I'm sure Wendy will give details and photos of Billy's arrival on her blog.

Last week I also got my RAK from Kim Archer, its a gorgeous little felt envelope hand made by Kim. It is really lovely. I keep forgetting to take a photo, so I'll share that next time.

Not a lot of scrapbooking has been done over the past fortnight. In fact none. I must get onto my cards and I have to get a card off this week for the person I got in Julie Loves Christmas card swap.

Merry Christmas

Cheers

Hi Leeanne,
Your confidence in my ability to sew is very daunting! I'll do my best, I really just hope Maddy is happy with the end result and feels special on her big day.
Love, love, love all the photos of Chrissy dec's. Making me feel slack about mine. lol
