Sorry about the title but the brain is dead no change there lol. Cameron and his daughter Maya are home and me being the good person picked them up from the airport at 5am this morning, and I didn;t really get any sleep before as I was clock watching, so my mum has Adam and I am going for a little power nap so I can feel slightly more human once more. So lovely to see him again but luckily the week went really fast as been sooo busy.
Enjoyed making this card slightly different to my usual but thought I would give it a go and see how it turned out.

1st Christmas card from me!!

Hi all..well I've made a start on Christams cards now woohooo so lacking in them this year but more of an impressive start on the Christmas shopping getting there already on that front!
Had a bit of a fright today, Adam decided to fall from the 2nd stair down on the stairs I didn;t see it but he said he roly polyed down, the scream was very impressive lol. He took along time to calm down and even the neighbours heard him but apart from a sore head I think he will be ok. So an extra special eye has been kept on little man today. Also had roast dinner at mums tonight so that was yummy.
