seasons greetings

Christmas is filled with special joys,
And the very best of all
to consider those dear to us,
And the memories  recalled .

We often think at Christmas time
Of people, affectionately,
And we realize how blessed we are
To have you in our family and friends

Thank you to all my blog friends and followers for stopping bye

I Appreciate that You Do....

So have a perfect Christmas
Be sure to have lots of fun;
I look forward to b;ogging with you again ,during 2011

Parcel - x 6 items

Had a beastly day today............But all got a lot better when I got home DH had collected the mail and there was a box waiting for me .

I received a wonderful collection of presents fromVanessa, my swap partner in On My Verandas Christmas swap.

Firstly, this gorgeous soft toy, so beautifully sewn and in such lovely fabrics:

Followed by a charm pack in the most fab choice of colours such a bliss (chuckle)

 A fab hand made Christmas hanging

 And the most beautiful handmade bag in such divine fabric must email Vanessa and ask the fabric range

and a great book already getting ideas for future sewing items 

 a container of the most pretty pink bath salts

 and a block of chocolate and wooden Christmas ordainment

 doesn't it just look so grand together

A big thank you to Vanessa for sending such great items and everything will fit nicely in my home, and to Maree for making the time to organise a fab swap.

Cheers Marc

oops I have forgot to change the angle of the handmade Christmas photo sorry look sideways ...ha ha

what a great day

Today DH and myself put the christmas tree up together.

We giggled and carried on like newlyweds .

Life sometimes goes full circle

we  have been married for 31 years, the first few years DH and myself put the tree up together, then our two beautiful sons took on the role.

But this year is the first year that we do not have either sons living at home.

So together with DH we pulled the boxes and crates out of storage and together put the tree up.

But wait where has that star for the top of the tree gone................... missing ?????

So together we drove into town and purchased a new star.

OOPS ???? not a good day for a quick shop...... people and yes more people ...... where did they all come from

The season to be jolly seems to bring people out in the crowds.

after some push and shove we finally got home and together placed a new star on the tree.

now off to get a light meal and do some stitching before Spooks starts on ABC this evening

Cheers Marc



Something different

This was my view last night in the sky  

strange ? 

 there was such a feeling on peace, the astomshere was so calm and no noise .................

then a few minutes later ....................rain rain rain , lightening and thunder followed with more rain rain rain.
