It's been a busy old time!
So here is the latest on the kitchen. As you can see the brick archway no longer stands. Please ignore the vacumn cleaner etc I had to take the photo while it was still light enough to get a decent shot. We do clean everywhere before we start on the cooking duties
I had a midwinter cousins Christmas party today. With only eight cousins it's a pretty small gathering. Out of that eight only two have one child each and only one of those has a partner. One cousin has just shifted from Wellington to Whangarei with his wife and two girls, but due to the weather decided not to come down - don't blame them in the least! So of course I couldn't resist taking a couple of photos of the two littlies...
Haven't done much scrapbooking of my own these last couple of weeks. I find it hard to scrapbook during the week, I'm just to tired at night, and have all the normal household type things to do after work, so my time has been taken up with getting this latest care2crop album finished. I'm going to jump off the list once this one's done. Yesterday I helped a good friend shift (we are her son's Godparents) and she needed a couple of locks for her new house, so we Lyall and I toddled off to Mitre 10 and low and behold I found a scrapbooking shop...so while he was in Mitre 10 I was shopping as quick as I could! A few papers and a stamp set later and I was on my way - I didn't want to make him wait as we really were pushed for time, but nice to find an unexpeceted shop - and they had a few different bits and pieces that I hadn't seen before. Oooo and at two years old our Godson, Brody, is soooo cute!
Okay so I just went to upload photos and they came up in the link fine, but all I have is writing at the top of this page and no photos...so on the off chance that you can see them, then here's the explanations that should go with them...
Kitchen and Lyall - well you know what that one is about!
Kids cuddling - this is Helene and Bodhi who I asked to give each other a cuddle so I could take a photo. The other one is Bodhi who was rather taken with me taking a photo of him then he would look at it and laugh his head off. I then showed him how to look at the screen, push the button and take a photo - he rather liked that idea!
Cat - well that's my wee girl who found the sheepskin and has now called it her own. Love the 'how dare you take a photo, I'm sleeping thanks' look!
Stamp'n up - See I was good, I just got the catalogue, a punch, stamp pad, and my beloved dottos!

The kitchen is looking good - you'll have it all finished in no time! I've been through reno's before so now how frustrating it can be, but it's so worth it in the end.
