Its here...



From my computer to your computer, I hope you have a lovely day tomorrow and enjoy every moment. I'm most looking forward to watching my 4 year old really enjoy the spirit of christmas now that she understands it.  Have a lovely day - Always....



~~ To my Dad - this will be the 10th Christmas without you and perhaps because my little family feels so complete - its a tough one. 
I do wish you were here to see the Christmas sparkle in the girls eyes - you are dearly missed and thought of everyday. ~~

Pretty Christmas Packages

I recently joined in with the Social Media Secret Santa fun that the super lovely Chantelle from Fat Mum Slim organised. I mean, giving and recieving pretty presents and getting to know a heap of new bloggers- how could I not be involved.

Here is a pick of what I sent out ...



It went to a lovely mumma blogger that I had stumbled on before - Her name is Sonia and blogs at LionessLady. A quick Thank you to Tania from Chicken Ink for russling up a beautiful notebook for me to give her.



I got sent a beauifully wrapped package last week and vowed to save it till Christmas - well that didn't even last the day and before I knew it I was hanging my lanterns and stamping my new mail stamps all over previously wrapped presents. My gift couldn't be more perfect and I'm so happy I got involved. Thank you to Kerina from livingonlatte who bought for me.



A quick hello and welcome to my new bloggy followers from the SMSS fun and I am so looking foward to doing some more new blog reading over the holidays.

How are your plans for Christmas coming on? I am slowly but surely getting there, fingers crossed....

I have wrapped my presents in a combination of four printed rolls of wrapping paper using double side tape so no tape is visible, tied them up with velvet and raffia ribbon and trimmed them with gift tags and candy canes.
