Do you feel like this after Christmas? I do!!!
Wednesday here again, the last week has felt like 4 weeks fallen into 1. So much has happened that I need a break now. All the Christmas tv programmes to watch, spent 12 hours at a friends place on Christmas day having a great Christmas after spending 2 days with my gorgeous girls and husband. I forgot to take photos of the food, there was sooo much.
Emma looking at her Xmas present, craft related of course
Michael chilling in the sun, not sure where summer went this year, but it's nice and pleasant
Keira having her marinated prawns for brunch
Now starting on my mothers photo box which was to be her 60th birthday present but she is now 70 hahaha, it's pretty damn hard to get photos off the family so thank goodness for facebook and the younger generation, its only taken me 10 years to collect photos
One of the photo boxes I made for the girls
Emma flicking through hers. The sentiments read I LOVE YOU and SENT WITH LOVE because I don't own MADE WITH LOVE hee hee
I never shared with you all that when I craft I listen to a CD, a reading book CD, I've been going through the audio third time round LOL, it makes my craft very enjoyable and I plough through a book in 2 days
Linking this to Whats on Your Night Stand December 27th

LOL! I have a wedding scrapbook that I promised my brother for his first anniversary...he is now working on 7. I guess that gives me 3 more years! Happy WOYWW & Happy New Year! -Amanda #9
Fantastic santa pic, and love the gifts for your daughter, Happy 2012 Hugs May x x x
Hi there Bridget do love the photo book you have made - so lovely! . Happy WOYWW! Love, Shaz in Oz. x #24
Thanks for all the lovely pictures you shared with us - lovely to see the girls as they are growing up.
I tend to automatically switch off my hearing when I am crafting but after reading about your cd listening I am going to give it a try. That way I can have two pleasures at once.
May I take this opportunity of wishing you and yours a Good 2012. Hugs, Neet #4 xx
btw - love Emma's nails!
Better late than never, LOL!! Love all those photos laid out, a peek at someone's life there.
The boxes you made were beautiful, not surprised the girls loved them!
Hope 2012 is a fab year,
Hugs, LLJ #35 xx
Prawns for brunch - sounds like heaven to me.
Love your boxes and all those photos for your Mum's - wow!
Enjoy the rest of the holidays and a happy 2012 to you and your family.

I like to listen to music while I craft, sometimes audio books, more often music though.Hope you had a very enjoyable Christmas, and that you have a wonderful New Year, Shaz xx
Your photobox idea is lovely! And I'm glad to find someone else who likes story cds too! Have a great New Year! x
So strange to think that you have the summer when it's Christmas! Here in southern Finland, however, looks more like summer than winter... no snow yet!
The photobox is lovely! I have laughed at yous ten-year-project - you will get more and more pics all the time... :D

Hello...visiting from WOYWW:) I always listen to audio books when I sew or craft. I find I'm more productive...no idea why. Love your Santa picture.

Loved that Santa pic, might wake up all the kids though if he turned up with that get up! Great family photos, I really can't imagine Christmas in a warm climate, don't think I'd want Turkey and all the trimmings! Hope you get moving on your 10 year project soon!
Hugs

That photo box looks absolutely stunning! And hey, 10 years is okay, can't rush a good job!
It looks like you had a nice holiday with your family. Love the Santa photo!!
May 2012 be a crafty year!
Oooh what a fabulous post - looks like you all had a great time and the presents look smashing. I too made my Dad an album for his 60th it consisted of five layout and I said I would add to it - he is now 71 and there are still only five in there! Love the way you are sorting out all those photos all spread out! Thanks for all your lovely comments over the year and I hope you have a lovely New Year.
Hello Bridget, lovely post and terrific photographs - the weather looks tons better than ours here in Scotland ... sigh! Love the Santa photo too :) I wish you and your family a very happy New Year. Elizabeth x #65

Hi Bridget1 Great photos, love the Santa! I laughed reading about your Mum's 60/70th photo box!!!
I'm just back home from the South Coast of England visiting my family so quick catch up to thank you for all your lovely comments and fun and inspiration on your blog!
Here's to a great New Year 2012!! Health, Happiness, Peace & Joy,
Love JoZarty x
Never thought of listening to books while I craft, I usually have music on (the whole of our music collection is on my crafting computer so I have plenty of choice). However, I might try books to see if that is any better. Those prawns looked lovely, makes my mouth water just looking at them. Have a wonderful New Year. Maggie #49
Oh Fab! Love the Santa photo! The photo book looks lovely too. I'm sure when your Mum eventually gets hers, the length of time it's taken won't matter one jot!
Thanks for stopping by!
