WOW! Julze these look fabulous.

My Day 7 and 8





some journalling and newspaper clipping on the tag inside.

Oh wow Julia, those pages look very poignant - I'm sure they will be a treasure one day when you look back on them.
You've scrapped them beautifully!

Well done!!

Gorgeous Deb!! Love 'mum's old bucket' - sounds like a story there!
And the Angel page is beautiful!

Thanks Deb and Mandy! {{hugs}}

I love the stitching on your pages Deb

I'm going very slowly - it was a busy weekend. but I have the photos, so I'll get there. Also, I think our niece is now going to do a Dec Daily - she looked at my 2011 one and decided she'd like to have a go. She has a one year old, so is bound to have taken photos pretty much every day.

Well I am impressed with all that December Daily stuff happening in alvums already - for me - I am just happy to be keeping up with taking the photos - life is insane

So today was Thompson Family Christmas - that involved arrived to the traditional oyster shooters - far too many prawns for lunch and family photos - oh my when there are 8 Children, countless Grandchildren and now several great grandkids that is quiet a challenge and a half but today was a special photo - a repeat sitting from one taken 30+ years ago - all the kids in the same spots - all things considered it is amazing that some of those kids are there to be in the photo the youngest is early forties - the oldest is mid fifties - this one will be a special place in my DD

Great pages guys. Love your angel and bucket pages Deb. Has given me an idea for a few of my pages.

I am way behind wit the scrapping of my pages here as I have had no ink in my printer and right now it hasn't been top of the list of things to spend my money on. I did get some today though so will have to do a big catch up.

I am keeping up with the photos though. Took a few this morning of a few Christmas cards on a string line across my Nan's old dresser. I always can remember her having hers strung up on it when she had it in her place before I got it and seeing as I now have a smaller Christmas tree here they would look out of place hung up on it like I used to do.

Sometimes things just get way too hectic and out-of-control, Julie {{hugs}} I'm actually amazed with myself that I'm pulling together some scrap-booking time as things have been really stressful with daughter #1

I've finished another page and gone out and bought photo paper. At first my printer wasn't printing properly so I thought I'd have to trasfer pics onto the camera card and get them printed out at Harvey Normans. But for some reason my "computer" is not letting me do that! My printer has decided to print all the colours again (It wasn't printing yellow even though the ink cartridge was full)

This page is about my garden and my "need" to have it and everything else organized for Christmas. I'll upload a pic soon.

Well, I've gotten myself a little behind (something that wasn't supposed to happen ). Still to do 9th and 10th and not looking like that will happen today so add on 11th as well.

Have fun Lee-Anne, sounds hectic but fabulous!!!
Julia, DDailys can be very therapeudic for many reasons. Sometimes its good to get things on paper - sometimes it good just to have something to just escape daily life and sometimes its just a release - a relax time. Hope things settle down for you soon.
I'm sure Deb and Julie, we will see your pages soon
I'm so far keeping up to date... but there are times things can get behind as its happened in previous years... eventually its caught up At least at the moment, its going okay and I'm really enjoying it

9th
Family reunions are a great place to get photos!
I've made this page from fabric and added a felt tree then used the sewing machine to sew branches in red.


I sewed two pieces of fabric together and added some cardstock in the middle.

Like your page Mandy.

Just my luck. I had a little left money that I was able to grab some more ink with and guess what. I grabbed the wrong colour.

Oh no Julie! Can you change it?

oh no! How frustrating Julie...I hope you can get it exchanged.
Mandy I love your fabric page and the stitched tree!

i did some baking this morning..and made my Christmas cake. I'm about to print the photos and scrapbook them Here's my nest page "In my Garden"

Love your pages, girls. Gorgeous work. I ended up getting 9th and 10th done this arve - will photograph tomorrow BUT I haven't taken a pic today yet so will have to have a think on this one.
Julie I hope you are able to sort out your printer ink troubles...looking forward to seeing your pages.
