Good morning everyone hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year.  I have my family visiting from Australia sisters and husbands plus my own family and visitors arriving through out the day to catch up with each other.  I'm the youngest of 7 children all married with grandchildren so I guess you can understand that it can feel like Grand Central Station here at the moment.  It's my eldest brothers special birthday on New Year's Eve he's turning 70 and we are all getting together for that.  Today we are off to our beach house for a few days before the big event and for a couple of days of relaxation.

Today is another wonderful Sweet Sketch Wednesday,

congratulations to our winners last week there were so many lovely cards.  I'm so sorry I didn't get around to comment on your blogs but by the time in the evenings when I would have been commenting I was so tired I had fallen asleep on the sofa and one night I got caught dozing at the computer by my son, so I thought you would understand.

This week Arlana has another wonderful sketch, this sketch worked perfectly with my selected image from our sponsor.

Louie and Big Heart

Good morning only 4 more sleeps to go and Sleigh Bells will be ringing and there will be a Ho Ho Ho in the snow in the Northern Hemisphere but here in New Zealand hopefully it will be a warm summers night.  My boys are past the Santa stage but still love their Christmas Stockings and I'm silly enough to wrap up each individual item that goes into it........................it's more fun that way.

Congratulations to our winner this week and our top 3,  there were some really beautiful cards I commented on this week they were just outstanding.

From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!

21 today oh how I do wish I was 21 again..............

Yes it's my birthday today and only 25 days until Christmas and only three presents bought. 

Oh I do hate my birthday being so close to Christmas, people have other things on their mind without worrying about your birthday.  I have cousin born on 25th December, my brother on 30th December and 3 friends born on New Years day.  There are 365 days in a year why couldn't our parents be more considerite and our birthday's be in the other 10 months of the year???  I guess that wasn't on their minds at the time.

Today is Wednesday my favourite day of the week and of course it's

Sweet Sketch Wednesday. 

Congratulations to our winner this week and our top 3 great work ladies.

 Arlana has a lovely sketch for you this week.

Wow here it is 23rd November already and only one week to go until my birthday yes I was born on a Wednesday as well.  My mother always reminded my brothers and sisters the days of the week that we were born.  It was one way to teach us the days of the week.  I don't know how she kept track as I'm the youngest of 7 and my eldest brother turns 70 at the end of next month, his birthday is 30th December but we are celebrating on New Year's Eve.

Mum recited this poem to us as little children.

Mondays child is fair of face,
Tuesdays child is full of grace,
Wednesdays child is full of woe,
Thursdays child has far to go,
Fridays child is loving and giving,
Saturdays child works hard for his living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

The reason why this came to mind is because I was designing Gary's birthday invites and I wanted to see what day he was born on "He's born on a Tuesday" I wondered if mum wanted a child born on each day of the week seeing there is 7 of us?  I'll never know.  But when I worked it out and put the dates in the computer YES we were all born on different days of the week pretty spooky as that wouldn't have been planned in those days.
