The layout with Danny and the lollipop flowers is a straight scraplift from Heidi (thanks Heidi lol!). The green, gold and red is a SP challenge - using these colours on a non Christmas shabby chic layout. The pastel is the SP shabby chic layout - pastel colours plus two black and white photos.



With five days of work left the countdown is well and truly on. I can't wait for the joys of being able to lie in bed and read, rather than having to get up. Even though it's five thirty on a Sunday morning right now, and I'm up...I must be mad! But the internet is much more reliable at this time, my eyes and nose are streaming and I'm sneezing (and yes, I'am full of anti histimaines but they are only of limited use) and it's just too light to actually sleep - however my hubby manages to do that lol!). Yesterday saw Donna and I finish off the last of our Christmas shopping and catch up for afternoon tea with Vicki and Gaye. Last week and I was at the SP crop, pinching a layout off Heidi and admiring Vicki's work, laughing often and eating the odd chocolate...

Work if full on with the kids concert on Tuesday night yet to happen. Lots of parental bribes trying to get me to stay and teach at this kindergarten. Not a happening thing people LOL. Lots of raspberries and strawberries in my fridge being nibbled away on. Boxes of Christmas chocolates rolling in from work - Lyall has hidden them - good idea lol. A bit of painting being done around the house. Yep same colour just touch ups. And a partridge in a pear tree...lol.

Right off to brave the garden shortly. The weeds are higher than the actual plants. I don't think that's such a good thing LOL. Enjoy your week.

How can you brave the weeds when your nose is dribbling ... not a good look buddy ... surely there must be some medication that can do its thing, so that you can do your thing ... you know what I mean!

Those layouts are awesome, Trace!! Really lovely.

I think getting all the Christmas chocolates/goodies must be the best and WORST thing about being a teacher!! I mean, who doesn't want to eat that stuff, but too much is probably not a good thing! LOL ;-) Good idea getting Lyall to hide it, at least that way you can eke it out and not eat it all at once!
