December...What a month it's been... continued

We had our works Christmas break up at our place on the Sunday before Christmas.

Another fantastic event that went off with a hit.

What can I say more food, fun and laughter.

The sun set put on an awesome display for us.

Christmas day itself was also at my place the family arrived for lunch.

 The family....gotta love them all.

There was even a tree huger....yes this is my little brother Shannon....

please don't hold that against me.

hehehe

Christmas eve a dear friend of ours ended up in hospital...(sending you my love)

and then on boxing day we woke up to our neighbours cries for help. There house had caught fire. I rang 000 & My family all rallied together so quickly to lend a hand, I'm so proud of you all. Thankfully no one was hurt. Our lovely neighbours had not long moved in it wouldn't of been a month. We have had so much support and calls from the local community as to how they can help it has been very over whelming for them. They do appreciate it all but they are still adjusting to the idea of losing there dream home.

I have passed on every ones love and support to them.

So at the end of the day.....to all out there......please don't sweat on the small stuff, love your family & friends with all your heart, be creative, honest, reliable, caring, dance, sing and most of all be your self.

and remember dreams can always be re made.

BIG CYBER HUGS TO YOU ALL!

& 

I HOPE THAT YOU ALL HAVE A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR

Chloe also used this moment as her coming out party, yes she is gay....As parents we couldn't of been prouder, this would of taken her so much courage to do this in front of all of her friends and family and there was easily 70 or more people there. They were all so very supportive

Chloe will always have all of our love and support....love you honey!

Who'd think that I would forget to post something that I had made and.........Completed. 

Yay go me!!!!!

Our Gisborne group July challenge was something Chritmassy for Christmas in July.

Our challenges are all due on the last Wednesday of the month.

I had found this adorable woodland deer pattern in one of the Homespun magazines, and thought that it would be just perfect for our July challenge.

Christmas Tree Skirt

Here is my Christmas Tree Skirt finally finished. Heehee...Just in time for Chrissy this year.
I started this last year and unfortunately with the end of the year getting so busy I never got around to finish it for Chrissy 2012. So now after backing quilting, binding and adding some suffolk puffs & ribbon, I'm pleased to say it is complete.

Sorry about the lighting in the pic, it's very overcast here today.
