The lady of the blog was wondering where the days in December went.
That post about an attitude check a little while back. Well, I was coming down with something "big time". Really ill with some type of flu or cold or virus – or maybe all three. I ended up sleeping for most of about 3 days. My birthday was pretty much a wash out – though I did feel well enough to cook some dinner while the others all went off to swim training.
Two more pages for my 2009 Christmas Album. Both of these are for December the first.
The first layout is more about where I am at and what I hope to achieve with this album. Not really cheery or Christmasy – but that is ok – it's how I feel. Life is not all perfect happy roses – even though sometimes it seems to come across that way in blog land.
Well here it is the 4th, and I am already behind. It's that "not feeling it" thing.
However I did get a start on the cover. This album will be small and hopefully simple by last years standards. I am trying to be a little more frugal this year. Inks are hard to come by at this time, which means trying to get more on a page before printing.
Took these photo's last night at Chilli's. Munchkin Princess 2 had chosen to go there for her birthday dinner. Which of course is rather a change for how we normally do things. In the past I have usually cooked their favourite meal, baked a cake and decorated a cake – and we have celebrated at home.
Last year I attended the Shimelle Journal Your Christmas class for the first time. I enjoyed the process – though I probably bit off more than I could chew – making it too big, and time consuming
My youngest hits double digits this coming week. Acck!! Actually I don't mind it that much. She truly is a blessing and such fun that each day of her growing older is a real treat.
I am back from holidays and finally back sorted out with the internet and online again. 
Now as soon as I have our routine established and mountains of washing done I should be able to find some time to post again.
I am traveling overseas for the next couple of months so my normal posts will be on holiday too.
I hope to check back in occasionally.
In the meantime – you might like the chance to read back over some of the older posts. Enjoy!!
This week I played with a collab kit from MKC Designs and Sarah Jones. The colours were perfect for these photo's of the youngest Miss Munchkin's last birthday. It has the cutest elements with a lot of similar design to them but in many forms. Spoilt for choice!
