I thought I had better post or everyone will think I had disappeared off the face of the earth!!! I won't go into all the medical yucky bits...promise!!
Life has been all hospitals and doctors, discussions of all sorts of bodily functions and way to many dramas..plus I have been bullying people into "granny sitting" for a few hours to allow me to get my final Christmas bits done. I have to admit that even though I have been really busy I miss not working or blogging as usual, or perhaps it's the lack of personal space and mental stimulation that I find so limiting..who knows. But for the moment all is quiet on the invalid front...ssssh don't say it too loud...or someone may hear and things will kick off, lol!!!
My mum is not the perfect patient, but which of us is? My daughter in law is on hold awaiting more test 28 December so my job is to try to make Christmas a good one, despite the health issues. Christmas day will be quiet with only 6 of us but on Boxing Day the whole family is coming to visit and cheer mum on....all 15 of us!!! So lots of cooking and planning for that day. The planning is done and the cooking will come next but Christmas is family and so I am very glad they are coming.
Lots of us will find some difficult moments during the holidays..perhaps it's family members who don't get on, old quarrels or we feel just plain fatigue from so much work to get it all done. I often wonder why we don't keep Christmas simple and relaxed, or even why sometimes we ask people who dislike each other for the rest of the year. But it seems at this time of year we try to share the festive spirit in the hope that the goodwill will extend to all......not everyone holds the same view and it seems that this period is one of the most popular for family rows!!! Hopefully we will escape those!
Tomorrow, 22 December Miss Lilly is ONE!!! How the year has flown!! She is walking and started talking now and she is just gorgeous..mind you I would say that. So watch out for loads of her pictures after Christmas. That girl is a star!!!
Thank you to all of you lovely people who have taken the time to leave me good wishes and comment....you are my rocks!! Your comments are wonderful and they really lighten my heart..so a HUGE thank you for spreading a little cheer, it is much appreciated.
Before I go a reminder that all my current designs retire 25 December and will vanish from the shop at Scrappin Digi Kreations. So if you want any of them drop by the shop and collect them at 50% off...before they are gone for good. Next year when everything has settled down I will start again with my designs with lots of new goodies!!
Whilst your there collect this months wonderful Collab Kit from all the designers there, you'll find it in the "on the House " section.
Here's my part, don't forget to snag it here!!
I also have a little freebie, not a Christmas one as you must all have a hard drive full of those!!! It's actually two little freebies......the quick page from my layout made using Maryse wonderful kit that she made for me, Leaf in the Wind (thank you Maryse for letting me share the QP). There is also a template of the layout in PDF and png files.

Well, it's bye for now and I'll try to post again before Christmas. Take care of each other and remember you don't have to give a present to show you love and care...your time is a precious gift, so share that and you give something special!!
