How and when did you learn the truth about Santa: Cant remember, but I still believe he is the spirit of my Christmas. It wouldn’t be Christmas without him

Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve: Some years Colin and I have, but only after all the Christmas preparations have been done and if we have any little pressies this year we wont as we have only one present each and they are big

How do you decorated your Christmas Tree: start with the lights then the tinsel, then the baubles, Colin if he isn’t away places the Angel on the top of the tree this year Lewis had the honour

having a few problems with my computer at the mo, not sure whats wrong cant use my photoshop so uploaded pic straight from picasa so sorry it looks a mess!

OOO! Sowwee

I have been such a bad blogger and not been keeping up with checking on your blogs either.

Colin has gone away in his lorry wont be back until crimbo eve, i have put the decs up so i am starting to get into the christmas spirit. So what has happened.....nothing really had my works party on friday the food was garbage but i had a laugh spent the saturday with a bad hangover aparantely the wine was off! On Sunday went to Bristol to pop in to see the lurkers we were having a 12 hour crop but as i havent been feeling like crafting thought it was pointless me staying so i just stayed for a couple of hours for a good old natter and to give crimbo cards etc.

i have now bound the book from Giselles class it is just waiting for some pictures but i will take a photo to show you and one of the decoration, still not done anything with the 'trash' book that Kirsty Wiseman taught. I am off work tomorrow so i will get some piccies and post :D

Brief update

The funeral was today :( my aunt gave me some of my nans photos which means as you can appreciate the world! isn't it when you lose someone so close, that it really makes you think - this is why I scrap!

I have had a real up and down week, found going back to work very difficult as i work in a nursing home! but as you guys have said i am just to go with what ever/ how i feel so i am just taking one day at a time.

Anyway on a lighter note, Crimbo Scrapcamp day, was lovely, a fun packed day with 25 peeps, Kirsty Wiseman took the first class and showed us how to make a groovy 'Trash' book using things like acetate, CD case, CD envelope, cardboard and paint think she said there where piccies of it on her blog so go over and have a looky, not completed mine as yet, second class was by Hilary Ford she showed us how to make a altered crimbo decoration really enjoyed doing this class fiddly as it was but was really able to play at something different will take a piccie and show you. Last but not least was Giselle Homers' class of a Christmas binded book which was absolutely gorgeous i have plans to put all my 2006 Christmas piccies in it, that too isn't completed yet.
It was great to see my scrap buddies and i was so glad that Beth came over the bridge too :)
