Beautiful work to share....

I hope everyone is enjoying themselves this Christmas! For those of you who have been too busy during the silly season, I have extended December's deadline to midnight, Sunday 4 January. Who knows, it might even be your first layout completed for 2009!

Some of our contributors have been hard at work on these beautiful layouts for December's challenge....

Thanks Sue-Maree and Sheree for sharing your beautiful work with us. You are truly inspirational!

Things have been hectic here to say the least! Every year I'm amazed at how crazy things get this time of year. Now we've got the 3 littlies it's even crazier and even more fun.

It's so wonderful to share this time with them. We've been counting down the sleeps and the excitement levels have risen extremely in the last few nights! They are finding it very hard to get to sleep already, I hate to think how excited they will be on Christmas Eve. They'll probably burst!!

No wonder they call it the silly season!!!
