a little bit Christmas

It was a lovely social and creative week this past week.....

a happy little craft group on Wednesday..... busy stitching.....well most of us....

I made this chocolate [truffle ] cake..... it was so simple and delicious ....more will be being made this week.......

and the went out for our annual Christmas do on wed night and had lots and lots of laughs...

washi tape and felt make a pretty wrapping.....

Charlie and I decorated and got into some Christmas spirit....... we haven't got a big tree this year so we had a big change around and have decorated a bit differently to what we normally do.......its good to have a change :)I love pulling out my handmade dollies each Christmas....

we did some midnight crafting with all the silver baubles that we had spare....

I decorated the sides of my craft shelves with lots of little treasured ornaments from friends all over the world....the sides used to be open but everything fell thru so i hot glued corrugated cardboard on them...makes pinning things to them a breeze and I love the look....

my very generous brother gifted me a brand new computer for Christmas and I cant believe how fantastic it is...so quick , no tower and hardly any cords... im loving it............ and if there is ever a fire I can pick it up by the stand and carry it out........bonus!!!!!

tomorrow at 7am the vce results come out.........am keeping my fingers crossed that Charlie has done well enough to get into the courses she wants to....


theres more but its getting late and I wanted to say that its just beyond belief the terrible massacre that happened yesterday.......my heart goes out to all those grieving their loved ones......
