Did Santa Come To You?

A long while back I was wondering how to get a print out of my blog so I could have a hard copy for the kids. I consider this blog less a public display and more a journal these days, so wanted a copy to refer to. After a fair bit of research, it all seemed too hard. I must have mentioned this to Mr BB, as on Christmas Day I was presented with a bound copy of Button Beauty! I am thrilled and love it. He spent considerable time compiling it, and for that I am so grateful. So much more meaningful than something quickly whipped off a shelf. Thanks honey!

The Christmas season finally saw me clear the dining table too, so we could eat Christmas breakfast and dinner! To do so, I finished off the tiered skirts.

One for my niece PP:


One for Miss M who turns 3 in January:


The next few will form new stock for a little 2009 sanity project - stay tuned!

The pudding was amazing, the ritual complete, and Mr BB whipped up a vanilla bean custard and a vanilla bean ice cream to go with it! Along with a saved bottle of Moet, we had a fabulous day!


Master 6 was not well on the day unfortunately, however he still managed to complete a series of Lego creations we thought would last a week!

Today we will spend in the garden, hoping for a peaceful and happy time.

Many thanks for all the support and encouragement from you readers over the year. As my blogaversary approaches, I am amazed that I have stuck this out, and that I have made so many new and dear connections in the crafty blog world.

Happy New Year - keep safe.

What a fabulous gift from Mr BB. So thoughtful.

It's been lovely meeting up with you in Blogland this year.

I also think that was a brilliant gift from your hubbie. Very thought full.

Great present - 10 points each for inspiration, remembering AND execultion - a very rare trifecta in the world of Christmas presents!

Oh lucky you!

I planned to spend Christmas 2006/07 making a Blurb book of my 2006 blog. Which turned into me planning to spending 2007/08 making a Blurb book of 2006 and 2007. And this year I didn't even put it on my list of things to try to achieve this "holidays" as I know it'll not happen.

*sigh*

Goodness it sounds like Mr BB outdid himself, bloggy goodness, ice cream - what a man.
I hope Master 6 is feeling better, I know all that excitement can not always work in your favour. It is scary that Lego can go up so quickly.
