Greetings! I trust this finds you all well and have enjoyed a wonderful Christmas.. I had a lovely Christmas shared with my Hubby, 4 kids and my Mum and Dad for lunch, and my two eldest kids stayed 2 nights here so we were able to just relax and I enjoyed having them around for the 2 days..
This is how we spent the first bit of Christmas, giving and unwrapping pressy's!
and then on Friday we had a birthday girl here... My DD turned 12... and no birthday is complete without a yummy cake... a jelly cream sponge!!
I had this one from AFSC which looks like this..
and my layout looks like this.....
Well thank you all for coming by and I am so appreciative of all the comments you leave..
Perhaps I may get time to scrap again this year......... But if I don't, I wish you all a Happy New Year and I hope 2013 is a good one for us all....
Lizzy this is lovely to have a page of yourself and I see you're a country girl, I was from a dairy farming area but we only had a house block but I spent a lot of time with friends milking cows and riding horses - gotta love the country.
