C is for Cheerful

Christmas seemed to sneak up on us this year. In the hustle and bustle of readying ourselves to celebrate Christ's birth, we did manage to capture C smiling at his dad - certainly he had the proper Christmas spirit. It only took a week of trying to have the camera and smiles around at the same time! But it was worth it, don't you think? :o)

Giveaway

This week I have been wasting spending my 'free time' perusing the beautiful things on offer at the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day (well, really it's a week). I have found lots of interesting new crafty blogs, even some Kiwi ones, and entered for my chance to win a few of the giveaways. The giveaway closes on December 16th (or the 17th in NZ!) so you may want to check out the goodies and get some ideas. I know I have lots of new projects waiting in the wings.

A Fresh Start

So... it's been a while since I blogged. My early New Year's resolution is to try to get back into the habit, mostly as a way of keeping friends and family up to date. And a fresh start calls for a fresh look. This design appealed to me because it reminds me of a vision I had before we left NZ. That the changes about to happen in our life were going to be like dandelion seeds - spread wide, falling on fertile ground, and hard to eradicate (in a good way!) That certainly seems to have been the case so far. So here's hoping this resolution is fruitful and hard to eradicate!
