Our visit to see Santa at Westfield Queensgate. A great santa who chatted for ages.

Wow - Christmas is Here

We have had a lovely day with our grandchildren today. Every year before Christmas they look forward to our trip our late night shopping, dinner, seeing Santa and then driving to see the Christmas Lights. We visited Hathaway Ave tonight and it is just the most magical display of lights and 'working' Christmas ornaments we have ever seen. Peering through the windows of the house is like looking into 'wonderland'. It takes the lady and her team of Water Polo volunteers a couple of months to set it all up!! It truly makes you feel that Christmas is magical and just around the corner. Here is a pic from tonight and there are some more in the slideshow.

Digi Layout - Raquels Concert 2007

Raquels dancing concert this year was fantastic. A few glimpses of it on this page

Digi Layout - Hula Bunny Fairies

These pics make me laugh. Amber and Conna got dressed up to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness at their College. They did a bit of 'hamming it up' for the camera first. The papers are by Angela Barton and the template by Carole Neale from her 'Four in a Flash' kit.

Digi Page - You can't Say it Any More

This page was inspired by the fact that my grandaughters keep telling me they have hardly any photos of me.... that's because I am always the one on the end of the camera - I'm not silly! Anyway they 'can't say it any more!' The papers are all designed by Rhonna Farrer and are from 2Peas. The modified Template is Carole Neale's '4 in a Flash.

Digi Page - Glimpses

Another Digital Scrapbook page. Glimpses of my grounds and surrounds at home. Photos taken with my new Sony H3 camera.

Faye's Challenge @scrapbookingbyDesign

This is my third challenge this week! Am enjoying it too. This one is Faye's challenge. The requirements were to mix up the size of your photos and to include a star in the layout. Hope mine fits the bill! I do love Rhonna Farrer's "Deck the Halls" Paper

Louise's Challenge @ Scrapbooking by Design

This is my entry in Louise's Challenge - a layout with a title or line from a Christmas Song. I couldn't miss this opportunity to show Dominic's toothless grin!! Everyone kept singing that song to him last year and he got really sick of it in the end - who can blame him!! Here is the layout

Christmas Cybercrop @ Scrapbooking by Design

I had a fun night at my first ever cybercrop. It was held by Scrapbooking by Design in Auckland (they are also Scrapbook Studio). I have entered a couple of the challenges and have just found out today that I won Lianne's Challenge - a layout with "Non Traditional Christmas Colours" and you weren't allowed to put red and green together. I am so stoked! Not sure what I have won yet. Here is my digital layout
