Advent Calendar is the topic for 5th December. Hannah loves this year's calendar, a High School Musical one and loves opening a door each morning. I couldn't decide which photo to use so used them both, putting one inside the door!!
I decided not to folow Shimelle's prompt for the 6th as we put our tree up up on Sunday so thought I would do my page on that instead.
4th December is "Perfection" and my journalling reads "My idea of a perfect Christmas is seeing your smiles and happiness" 
Thanks for looking!
I have finished 3rd and 4th as well but not had chance to photograph them.
finished this layout a couple of days ago but have only had chance to get a photo today. Our cat, Dougal is completely black so in the summer he gets really hot and spends nearly all day in the shade, guess it's to do with his black fur absorbing the heat or something. Last Summer he suddenly popped his head out from the flower bed where he had been hiding and I got this cute photo of him.
I was down there just after 9am after the school run so not the best light but it is really only at this time of day that the beach is empty like this. Just a couple of months ago, this same stretch of beach would be packed with holiday makers!Summer is just a distant memory... Autumn has come and almost gone...its cold, the heating is on and winter is just about here! But that means its not too long until Christmas, yay!
Hannah is loving Year 2 and in so many ways I can see she is growing up fast. This morning she got herself dressed for school completely on her own including doing up those oh so tricky shirt buttons and getting her tights on the right way round (a task in itself for a 6 year old). She is interested in different things now, like television programmes. it's not so much of C Beebies now but X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing. Her love of music grows by the day and favourites at the moment are Cheryl Cole, Alexander Burke, Sugar Babes and Leona Lewis.
But one thing has been a real hit with her lately. This little High School Musical case is never far away.
And inside is this 
Her Pink DS!
It was her 6th birthday present from us. We weren't sure if she would like it or not, but she loves it. It took a while for her to get the hang of it but now it's a great way for her to relax. She is still a bundle of energy and rarely stop still so the DS makes her sit and relax for a while. I know some people don't like to see children with computer games and toys like this but for Hannah it has been just what she needed for some quiet time every now and then.
Thanks for popping by!
I stamped and heat embossed the reindeer, cut him out with scalloped circles nestie and layered it up on Bazzill bling which has been punched with Fiskars threading water border punch and gold ribbon wrapped around. Greeting stamped and heat embossed in gold. Red gel pen dots doodled around the scallops and 2 gold brads to finish off.
Or garden can only be described as a "project in progress" but this year it is starting to look how we want it, with lots of colour and flowers. These are our roses and lilies which are such a beautiful colour at the moment.
