maybe a new years resolution should have been to glue my camera to me so i could take lots of photographs. it  feels weird when i blog without photographs.

we had a nice relaxing craft weekend and i got a lot of scrapbook layouts done. i printed out some more photographs today ready to scrap later on.

tomorrow, mom and me are going to a stitch n bitch (a group of creative people) so i plan on getting some kits together. i still need to make a couple birthday cards. i can't find the inspiration to make them here so maybe i can get them done tomorrow.

i promise photographs will be posted soon.

Christmas Day

 Christmas morning. Santa left us a box full of goodies this (last) year and he had about half that bottle of whiskey and I had left out about 20 homemade mince pies.

 Leaving for our family get together.

 We went to my brothers and his gf's new apartment for Xmas day. (3 bed, 3 bath, 2 balconies, underfloor heating!!!!) My Mom's new sweater she bought herself the day before.

Afterwards.

New Things

and a few old....

I have been playing around with this blog design today.  I've been wanting to change it for a while and wanted a nice clean feel around here.  I think this looks fresh enough for now.  What would you change?

I really should start blogging more often! I feel so bad about leaving this blog alone for so long.  As soon as I find my USB cable for my camera I can upload some photographs from over Christmas and then I can get working on some mini albums.

How do you keep the motivation going during these colder seasons?
