Hello there.. in case you didnt know I have been here.....
for a little break from reality.. ahh it was good too...what we needed.....
our days were spent doing this...
looking for treasures in the sand.....
going for walks along the beach.....
just being together...
and lots of swimming......
we had a wonderful day at Australia Zoo.... as an animal lover I enjoyed it all.....and here are just a few of the new friends we met.....
and to my delight we even saw the Irwins...
And watched as brave Bindi fed a croc... an amazing day.. I totally recommend it to everyone if you go on a holiday to the Sunshine Coast.....
and I even had one of these while away...
I threw in some scrap stuff....(just in case!!) and I managed to do 3 layouts....
One was the Handmade by Suzanne sketch for January....
and a sketch by basic grey...(19.12.11) I used the lemonade range..
And yes I did say I did three...well you will have to come back to see that one...it is the next sketch for Sketches with a Twist... and it is a fabulous sketch....
Which reminds me that there is still time to do January's sketch....
Perfect if you are like me and take a dozen photos of the first day back at school, or twenty photos hoping to get the perfect one for the Christmas album!!! check it out here....http://sketcheswithatwist.blogspot.com/2011/12/january-sketch-2012.html
