Happy New Year!!!!!

Happy New Year One & All... 

Classes in December ended up cancelled due to the snow so I just played in my studio...

We had such a great Christmas... loads of family events & get togethers.  This year we celebrated 2 Christmases ~ both here at our place ~ one for family & the second with some good friends that have moved here from Florida...

Here is what December looked like:

Mid December I was asked to paint the window for Olde Town Christmas event  ~ this was the Santa Village they have every year in Kemptville Ontario

We are getting the Tree... this is a tradition we do every year the weeknd before Christmas...

Here is the Grand Babies... our oldest Grand K with Auntie Sarah & Baby E with Dad Steve

 

Here is the beauty they found... I just LOVE it!

My Baby Brother & his Wife came for the event... it is there tradition to join us!

And here she is decorated up & presents below...awaiting the man in red!

Our Girls on Christmas Day in their matching PJ's

Fun with the grands... My sister had her 1st grandbaby in June & Baby E was born 2 months later so it was a baby focused christmas for sure!

There was lots of fun, food & laughter too!

 Looking forward to a spectacular 2014... all the best to you & yours

Good Morning,

Welcome to the K&W CTMH Ottawa facebook group BlogHop for theFall & Winter Idea Book 2013 NEW B&T paper,~ Available to purchase starting today ~

Thanks for stopping by!

I have created a 2 page layout using the 'Babycakes' Workshop on the GO from Close to My Heart ~ 
We are expecting our 2nd Grandson any day now & I am soooo ready!

Sooo from the looks of things you need stand on your head to see this... baaah haah haah... It also shows how you can rotate any page layout to get another pattern ~ it is the image & the witting that determine where the top of page is... huh!  (I will have to sort out how to get them facing the correct direction)

Thanks for dropping by ~ be sure to comment & then head over to see what Tracy has created ...
