On this day

a quarter of a century ago I met a man, not just any man but the man I fell in love with and eventually marry.

Where did the time go?

Part of my day

was spent doing this

The deadline for uploading my favourite six photos from 12 Days of Christmas workshop was today at 6pm and I'm happy to report that I made the deadline. No mean feat for someone who dithers and can't decide!

I'm sure some of the photos I took during the workshop will be appearing on scrapbook LOs at some point in the future including my 'festive' self portrait that I'm still really pleased with.

Taking more photos is something that I hope to do more of in 2011 and I may even indulge in another workshop. 

On Tuesday I got a

little excited.
I know its wrong or at least a little sad to be excited about what's in this massive box ...............

but I really don't care cause it's all mine ...............

and I can get excited if I want to right?

It's fab but no it won't make tea!!!!

Mum ...............

came the call from downstairs, you know that tone when you can be sure it's not going to be good news and true to form it wasn't good news.

Ceramic snowman meets tiled hearth and snowman definitely came off worse. 

It was however an accident and as I love that snowman I dug out the glossy accents in the absence of super glue (note to self must get super glue in) and set to work ...........

The results are a lot less than perfect but from a distance and for the amount of time they're out of the box for it isn't gonna matter.

I like a happy ending.

We have two

shiny clean hounds in the house and bath full of towels to show for it.

 It was so worth it as both Charlie and Missy's coats are gleaming.

Shame that dog shampoo doesn't smell better cause after the effort of getting to our two greyhounds in and out of the bath it'd be great if they smelt as good as they looked. Oh well can't have everything or can you? Maybe a little research is needed.

Wishing you a

Well Hello 2011

We celebrated the start of the New Year in our very own style, quietly at home. The final flourish to our evening was stealing a kiss and wishing each other a Happy New Year.

I didn't get any gold boxes

under the Christmas tree this year but I must have been a very good girl cause I did receive some amazing gifts.

Home for Christmas 2010

In fact I think it's fair to say that Her, Him and Me were all very happy with our gifts.
