Merry Christmas and my Heartfelt Gratitude .....

Tis the night before Christmas and all is happy and calm in our house (OK, maybe that's just because Paul has taken the boys to the pool!.

I just wanted to pop in and wish you all a very happy Christmas. I hope your house is overflowing with love, laughter and happiness on Christmas day. I have two very excited biys here, and we have also been enjoying some lovely time in the lead up to Christmas.  Here's some pictures for you (oh and about 3 hours after i wrote my last post Paul walked in the door with a new Canon 60D for me - excitement! Photos make me happy!).

Our tree:

Enjoying the Christmas sound and light display at Oxley College:

The boys with Santa:

and some pics from the fabulous Gingerbread Village display at the Melbourne Town Hall. They had a group of chefs make iconic melbourne buildings out of Gingerbread. It was amazing! Here is the MCG

Tha Arts Centre complete with lit up spire:

and the Melbourne Town Hall.

Finally I just wanted to say thank you for visiting my little space in cyberspace and leaving me a comment, making me smile or following me on my creative journey in 2011. Making things and recording my memories makes me happy, and it's lovely to have you along for the ride as well.

I probably won't get to the 100 layouts (too busy playing with my new camera) but i have had fun putting together a few more digital layouts recording this years Christmas memories.

This layout tells the story of some of the ornaments on my Christmas tree:

This one is about our trip to the city for Santa photos:

Have a great Christmas and I will be back here sometime soon :)

Merry Christmas Claire! I challenged myself to 100 layouts after being inspired by you to do so. I scrapped my 95th last night, and I'm hoping I can fit in the last 5 between Christmas and New Year's. Thanks for the inspiration and I look forward to being inspired by you in 2012 xox
