Nightwolf's Den

So did everyone have a great Christmas? We had a wonderful day.

We started at mum & dad’s (we’d stayed there the night before) and did pressies (more on them in a tic) then breakfast of croissants, ham & cheese.
Then we went to the SILs to see her & her family for a bit. We were going to go to the beach for a picnic lunch but lots of other people had the same idea so we ended back at mum & dad’s. Went to the in-laws for tea which was a choice of cold leftovers.

Was great to catch up with my brother as he came up Christmas Eve and went home today.

Anywho onto the pressies….

some goodies for my Slice (the Inspirations box, 3 new cards & the embossing tips); a novel (Dewey by Vicki Myron); some bits & pieces for bub; a set of towels, lots of chocolate (keeping this for when bub is born); some cupcake things; soap; a new cake tin; a bead for my Pandora bracelet; a cookbook; a gift voucher to spend of scrappy goodies; a travel picnic set and a awesome toiletries bag.

Hubby is happy cause he got the Battlestar Galactica box set and The Plan DVD so there will be lots of BG on our TV over the next week I think. And he got the new Dr Who RPG.

here’s a pic of some of the goodies I cooked to give as Christmas pressies

and the Gingerbread Star Tree (which ended up a little lopsided but was yummy)

   Mum & Dad’s Jack Russel (well actually she belongs to my brother but she lives with mum & dad) dead to the world after a hard day.

that’s pretty much all the photos I took yesterday. Hubby took one of me but it’s a shocker so I’m not sharing it :p

Anyways I am very tired so I’m gonna head off. Might get a drink & another Carry On movie (and try not to fall asleep) Hope to share so new Slice creations soon 🙂

Hope everyone has a happy & safe Christmas. Hope your day is filled with cheer & lots of love!

I’m spending mine with family and am looking forward to it being a quiet day this year, especially if it’s warm. also looking forward to crayfish for lunch 2morrow :

Spent yesterday cooking with mum which was lovely. Will be back boxing day with a few pics to share.

Have a good one!

I would have added a pic but I don’t think there are any photos of me from when I was 17 – tragic I know (probably a good thing – I saw a pic of me at 18 & OMG I look terrible!!)

I’ll be redoing this post later with my answers from 2009, aged 31.

(ok so I’m pregnant _ i”m finding lots of cute stuff atm – deal with it ROFL)

One of my fav designers – Tricia-Rennea – does the cutest animal drawings. and she sells them at Zazzle.

Thought I’d share a few of my favs (might buy some of these for bub’s room)

Tiger

Elephant

Purple Owl

The tiger is one of my favourites.

Go check out her store here & her blog here (she’s super generous & gives away gorgeous freebies)

Yeah I know I promised photos today but I haven’t got around to taking them yet lol. they are coming though

On a side note – can u believe it’s the end of November already? and OMG I think I posted every day LOL that has to be a first for me. Don’t know if I’ll keep it up but we’ll c how we go 🙂

Anywho, onto my new project. It’s loosely inspired by one of the 52 Pickup challenges over at Little Scrapbook Shop. The project will be a book of challenges that I can dip into when ever I have scrappers block. So to start with I’ll have the 52 Pickup challenges and I’ll add other challenges that I’d like to do but may not have the time to do as I go along. As soon as I have the basics set up I’ll share 🙂

That’s what we had last night (ok so not exactly like in the pic but u get the idea) Was woken at some ungodly hour by some wonderful rolling thunder and lightning. Kitty kats were not overly impressed.

Slept in til bout 10 which was nice and it was still raining, so I did some scrapping. I haven’t taken any pics yet but I plan to 2morrow. didn’t do much else today – enjoyed not doing much lol played some more Sims.

Tomorrow I’m hoping to b a bit more productive & go do a little gardening. I might even go do some more tidying in my soon to be empty scrap room. I’m gonna miss that room (not that I really used it much anyway) but at least I’ll b scrapping inside which will b a good thing when bub is born.

spent most of this arvo playing this

got some new Kaisercraft goodies yesterday. The new storage folder (the 12×12 one) and the storage pockets. they are awesome – hoping to put them to good use 2morrow. and the new mini alpha stickers and some Xmas papers.

Went to where I volunteer this morning and did a little bit more to my preg journal. I’m hoping to get some of the pages photographed 2morrow and up on bub’s blog.

I’ve nearly got my Polytechnic stuff done. will work on finishing it off over the weekend as well and get it uploaded for marking.

finding some great new digi blogs thanks to DigiFree. If you’re into digital scrapbooking it’s worth a look.

that’s bout it for my day. Feeling very tired so I might head to bed earlyish 2nite
