Christmas rush. . .
Hi everyone... The Christmas rush is starting....my cards are done and most of my presents are made or bought...Christmas Day menu is sorted just about - who's coming, who's not (naughty eldest daughter not coming home for Christmas - first Christmas in 20 years she will not be with us and I keep blubbing - next year if she doesn't come home, we will all be packing our little suitcases and we will go to her, there's no escape, she's been warned!).... School is nearly finished, very busy with making decorations with the children....lots of glue, lots of glitter, lots of fun and lots and lots of mess.... I'm sending you all a big hug, keep the energy going, it's the toughest time of year for lots of people for all sorts of reasons...in all sorts of ways... will be sharing this tomorrow with Sunday Sketches....

Cat, boohoo on your girl not coming home. My girl and I haven't spent Christmas together since 2007 sooo........ This year I am capturing her from the north country and we are going the beach in Mexico for 5 days. That's how I get her for Chrismas. haha Terah
I love her pink hair! Sorry you'll be missing your oldest daughter this Christmas :(. I AM the oldest daughter that lots of people are missing again this year. And I miss them all too...you're right, this time of year is wonderful but difficult at times too! All of the sudden my homesickness has come back full force! :S
