Merry Christmas
Just a quick note amongst all the festivities to wish everyone a very merry christmas and good luck for 2010.
This year has been full of challenging events, family illness, redundancy to mention a few but I am ever hopefull that 2010 will bring pleasure and good luck.
My beautiful daughter Felicity (posing beautifully above)starts a new school when the holiday season is over and we are hoping for a smooth transition and many new friends.
Well thanks to one and all for the continuing support through my fathers illness and also for the community spirit within the scrapbooking network.
Heres to 2010.
much love
sarah

Late last night santa dropped off a beautiful litter of siamese kittens ...5 to be exact. Mum and kittens all seem to be doing well but its very early days.
Id had a sneeky feeling all day that it was gonna be yesterday as willow had been following me around and talking to me allday. She chose 10.30pm to finally start in labour , actually begining to push whilst sat on my chest..... not a great prospect.... so she was quickly re located to hre comfy birthing bed.
Willow was great and coped really well so keep an eye out for all the wonderful mischief to come in the next few weeks .xxx
Im sure the picture is much the same everywhere at the moment , just perfect timing for the children breaking up from school and having fun.........xxMore excitingly we think we may have kittens real soon...willoww is very restless usually a sigh that labour is iminent so watch this space for piccies. xx taking bets on how many.. I say 7!!
It still amazes me the funny little things that children say. This morning as the children were getting in the car for school Ruby (my 3year old) spotted a little crop of mushrooms under the tree, "look mummy crumpets " she cried........ well , hilarious...... we all laughed , as I corrected her , "no hunni they are mushrooms", " no they are definately crumpets " she declared... its totally made my day... god love her.Do you have any funny stories of what the children say? Please feel free to share them with me. x
Our beautiful lady in waiting is getting very fat!!!Willow is positively blooming at the moment and oh so content, blissfully unaware of the hectic time about to begin. Last night whilst she was cuddled up on my knee, a rare peaceful moment, I could feel all the little movements of tiny kittens inside her belly, quite bizare to watch as her tummy jiggles and wiggles as she peacefully snores away. We are very excited and somewhat nervous as willow is a very efficient breeding queen producing massive litters of eight and nine at a time. Today however she looks positively glowing and happy, our graceful lady in waiting.xx
I couldn't resist taking this snapshot of my neighbours tree, its heavy branches fully of glistening red berries a pure feast for the feathered friends in the neighbourhood. The weather today is glorious but Im sure the locals wondered why I was scurrying around in pjs snapping shots of the trees?I guess they all know Im the crazy cat lady in the corner with all the children...so probably they weren't fazed..
In a more crafty moment I created this canvas for my brother-in-laws christmas prezzie this year. He has been asking me for ages to do something for his living room, its so very hard to think of something a typical bachelor my like but hey this is what I came up with. Im sure it would have been more useful to take the pic before wrapping it but hey ...I covered the canvas with a heavy duty hesian type material and a smaller one with faux leather. The cricut was used to cut template letters which then were covered in several mediums, buttons,pennies, cardboard,stones and just left as card. I think the overall affect is good and hopefully he will be pleased with it. My craft buddy was and has already commisioned me to make her one....The word says unique.
Well Im away now to do some much needed tidying up...yukkky housework .... with a much needed latte...enjoy your weekend. x
