Dec chat!! :)

Wow, Dec already!!

Two of this months main chs are up, and Sue will have hers up sometime during the day. These are the only chs this month. We won't be having a cyber crop as we know how busy life is leading up to xmas!!

So.. that being said.. what do you think of the challenges??

Love them Vicki!

Seeing as we aren't cropping this month, i thought i would put this here.. lets change our Avatars to xmas related pics!

Mine is Jorja opening her pressies last year! I don't think i have actually scrapped many of my 09 xmas pics, so i might have to get to them this month before xmas hits again!!

I love the challenges!!!! am about to change my avatar to my fave Christmas pic of the kids - I took it at the 2008 Christmas Carols....

Glad you like the challenges Treens.

I have just changed my av pic too. It is of my sister and Matthew decorating the Christmas Tree last year out bush. I love this photo and think if Matthew didn't have an Ottawa senators (Ice hockey team) towel wrapped around him - it would make for a great Aussie Christmas card photo.

This was one of my favourite Christmas' ever.....camping by the river. The only things that I would of changed if I could were that I would of preferred my Nonna not get admitted to hospital Christmas Eve and I would of had my other sisters family there.

Can't believe it's december...hehe seem to say that each month time is moving too fast for me!

Loving everyone's new avatars...yours is especially sweet Treens

Aww thanks Paula I really do love that piccie

Hmmm I might try and knock these chals over this week... It's been a while since I've done a proper scrap and want to get back into it before the BIG Christmas rush happens... but then again - best made plans and all.....

Thats why we kept them nice and easy Treens, you should be able to knock them over quickly!!

I can't believe it's December already!!!

Last day of school today... well actually, right about now, there's ony two and a half hours of school left for this year for DD...

Aaaarrrgh!!!
That means I have her 24/7 for the next 2 months!!!!

At least I can pull the Santa will know if you're being naughty or nice bit for the next few weeks!!!

Okay, I've updated my Avatar to a Christmas related pic.

This one is of DD and I making a snowman during our first White Chirstmas in Whistler a few years back.

Oh no - All my xmas photos are on my old (now very squashed computer). I will have to leave my av the same as it is!

Well I did manage to get my chall up today before we drove off in the pouring rain. (It took sooooo long trying to get organised with a 2.5year old under my feet this morn...grrrr!) I will have to wait until I am home next week to change my av though, didnt get time for that!

actually the pic in my av IS a Christmas one - my BFF & I at a work Christmas party a few years ago, I will post a new one next week though.

Oh NO...I'm freakin out 'cause mine have less than 2 weeks, hehe I won't complain anymore!!! Though I've got one home sick & has been for over a week, so she's somewhat putting a cramp on my shopping plans & everything else inbetween! Good luck Linda for the next 2 months!

I'm loving the ch's too. I've changed my av to our last year's christmas card pic, which reminds me I need to start making this years

Thanks Paula... I think we all need good luck to survive the summer holiday period... especially if it's going to be as wet as the weather forecasters are predicting!!!

We managed to make it Dreamworld for the day on Friday , even though it was a bit drizzly on and off all day... at least it wasn't too crowded and the lines were non-existent...

Has anybody started these challenges yet?? I was planning to start tonight, but can't be bothered moving out of this chair!!

not yet.... only thinking about it.... have some ideas though

I havent actually put any scissors to paper yet but Ive found my papers and photos for each challenge and created my design templates. I've been busy making some display layouts for my local kaisercraft store. I did manage to put up my new Christmas tree tonight. A fibre optic one - SOOOOO cute!

Sadly no...in the middle of mayhem here! Hehe we are in the middle of ripping up the tiles in the kitchen & I had the bright idea of ripping up the carpet in the loungeroom...we had to completely rearrange it to put the tree up anyway!!!

I've updated my avatar...it's our christmas tree (from a couple of years ago), honestly it's too big for this house, but we can't bear to replace it!

Linda, sounds like a great start to the holidays!

ok my avatar is of turtle last chrissy (very quiet one because he had the chicken pox lol).
Have started some challenges but with kids home haven't got far hahahaha

I have my photos printed for your sketch challenge Vicki - that is about the extent of what I have done....

Hmmm I need to get photo's printed... maybe then my mojo will return.... LOL

i need new photos too!!! but.... I still have photos here i SHOULD use hehhe

Nup0, been busy doing Cm stuff and chrissy presents, hope to get to them though
