Merry Christmas to all!

Hope you all are having a great Christmas, we certainity have. Kids got loads of pressies from santa (way too much as usual!), we had a beautiful meal & have really enjoyed the day.

Here are a few snaps of our day - i love the look on Josh's face in the first photo - it was taken just as he came into the room to discover what santa left!

Enjoy the rest of your holidays xx

I am starting to relax, everything is fitting into place

the food in the cupboards, presents delivered or bought.... nearly time to put the feet up and start enjoying it!!!! Our Christmas officially kicks off around 5pm on Christmas Eve @ my mum's!

I think this photo is so cute... Josh writing his Christmas cards for his classmates, just a pity he didn't get to give them out himself as he has been off school ill with the flu for the past week - seems to be coming to the end of it thankfully!

My son was dying to make his own Chrimbo cards this year so i showed him the one Jo & Freya did on It's a Creative World (see right for link) and loved it - so here's his version.......

We have been busy wrapping our gifts for friends & family today - this isn't even it all done!!!!

Yesterday i took Josh & my niece Jassmyn to my work's christmas party for the kids - they loved it. We seen a magic show, watched the Bee Movies, they got face painted, balloons, loads of goodies & of course the chance to see Santa!

Headed out last night for a Christmas dinner with the girls from work. Had a lovely meal and great craic. Here is some pics ....

Niki & Ursula

Aine & Cathy

This drink was delicious!!!!!!!!

Strawberry & Mango Swirl Frozen Margarita (yeah really took a photo of my drink lol!)

What a busy busy month it's been. I have been up to my eyes making handmade gifts to sell to family & friends. The gifts i have been making include Snowman soup, Reindeer/Snowman poop, Survival kits (as below), sweet jars, cards, tags and altered candles ..... and the orders are still coming! Fabby!

I am thankfully all sorted regards purchasing/sorting my Christmas gifts - just the massive task of wrapping everything lying ahead.

Dylan is crawling around everywhere now and is so fast!!!!! Josh went straight to walking so the whole crawling thing is new to me - really can't believe how quick he gets from one end of the room to the other!

I am itching to get decorations out but with one thing or another i haven't been able to.

Hoping to get some done tomorrow - so watch this space!

Haven't been scrapping in a while - it's all Christmas cards - but at least it's crafting!

Happy December 1st all!!!!!!

The big apple!!

It's been a while since i posted - sorry!

I had a very nice surprise from my in-laws last week - a shopping trip to New York!!

Myself, my Mother in law Kaye, my 2 sister in laws Nadine & Nicola headed to NYC on Sunday for a fantastic shopping trip (back yesterday). We took the shop til we dropped saying to the next level!!!!!

The bargains we got were fantastic but we could have bought so much more, had we not had a limit on baggage - even though we had 8 huge checked suitcases between us! lol!!!

Our flight with Delta Airlines was really good - we really recommend flying with them - very attentive the whole flight!

The hotel we stayed in was amazing - It was The Buckingham hotel 57th St on 6th Ave (beside Carnegie Hall/central park etc) so very central to everything! We got a 1 bedroom apartment and it was so big (not the norm in NYC hotels!)

Anyway, enough rambling - here is some pics:
