xxx Cousins xxx

On a blogging roll today!  Thought I would share the Santa photo we had taken today with the four cousins ... Hunter was very brave!  Have to say the David Jones photos are heaps better than the Westfield ones.

Christmas ham bag

Today's little piece of creativity! Now we just need the ham :)

Gingerbread Men

Another addition to my Christmas traditions ... making gingerbread men!  These were surprisingly simple and look oh so cute (and yummy too).  I used a medicine dropper to do the icing ... heaps easy!  Now I want to attempt one of those gingerbread houses :)

The Love You Book

During one of my recent internet shopping episodes, I came across this gorgeous book, "The Love You Book".  Written by Andrew Wynne and Emma Scott, it has the most amazing illustrations and it is a beautiful story for mummies and daddies to read to their babe! We haven't read it to Lucy yet as it is a Christmas present ... but I can't wait!  Highly recommend it!





























PS. I bought it through the website www.hardtofind.com.au

Getting Creative

It was my sister Maree's birthday the other day and as part of her present I decided to make some mismatched table napkins.  After deliberating over fabric at Spotlight, I finally chose four, and made two of each.  I think they turned out pretty well ... have actually had a request for a set from another sister!

All Wrapped Up

Here is a pic of some of the presents under the Christmas tree (well the ones that I have wrapped).  I got the fabric bows idea from Anna Spiro.  She has decorated her tree with these bows too.  Pop on over to her blog for a squiz.

Cherry Ripe Ice Cream

I have just made a tub of cherry ripe ice cream ... yummo!  I got the recipe from my sister's mother-in-law (thanks Tracy!).  You can find the recipe as well as many other scrumptious dishes at Tracy's blog ...
