Looking forward to a better year.

Sorry for not being around since xmas but my last guest left on Sunday that was my sister, it was her birthday on Saturday, she came to stay on New years day. Well i was hoping to writitng this in a good mood, but on Monday the inevitable happened my son and son-in-law where given redendency notice, my son has a little girl of 1 1/2 years and my son-in-law has 2 boys of 5 and 8 and little Maisy who is 5 months old, my daughter is now cutting her maternity leave short and going back to in the middle of February instead of the beginning of July, so that means i will resume looking after them 4 days a week so my crafting hours will be cut short to the weekend. Well enough said about that we had a lovely family christmas plenty to eat and drink and lots of laughter. My son and his wife and little Joshua came to stay with us xmas eve, we put some reindeer food on our doorstep for them to eat here is a photo of him doing this and then when we had left a mince pie for santa and a carrot for rudalph he went to bed with great ease. Here is a photo of my lovely daughter-in-law hayley on the right and on the left is my wonderful 14 year old daughter Lauren, they get on really well, well we all do. We had a great day and on boxing day morning they were ready to leave us at 6:30 Am, so that Hayley got to work on time as she is a community nurse and was at work that day, i do love her to bits, she regulary phones me up for a chat or advice which is very lovely to know she respects what i have to say.
Before bed we cut out some templates of footprints and sprinkled glitter over, it looked like santa had walked to Joshuas presents out of the fire place, his face on christmas morning was a picture.
My cousin and her husband come from France, my daughter Louise came up with her little family and brought my 70 year old aunt with them my other daughter and family came and my son dean came with his partner and little jessica a fun time was had by us all.

On new years eve we stayed in with a buffet and drinks and played on bowling on the Wii all those with children joined us and we saw the new year in watching local fireworks. Well with christmas over and the decorations down it was time to go shopping. At our local garden centre i found these lovely picture frames in their natural state just waiting for me to do something lovey to them what a bargin for £5.00 each. I will show you again when they have been hopefully transformed well i think that i have bored you enough and i will sign off hope its not too long before i blog again,
God bless,
Pat .
