Christmas Traditions!

I love Christmas Traditions and over at PBP we have just started one of our very own. The designers all got together to put this awesome and absolutely huge mega kit together for Christmas and the best part about it is that 100% of the net proceeds go to a fabulous cause.
The Chibobo Orphanage in Zambia which you can read a little more about when you click on the link. For $8.00 (AU) what a bargain. So come on over and help us support such a worthy cause at Pickleberrypop and check out this fabulous kit.

Ok next on the list is my new kit is of course in the shop and last time I blogged blogger would not let me upload the preview so here it is Paisley in Bloom! You can purchase this kit over at PBP here.

You can also check out the rest of my designs here

There is a new kit underway and very much a girly kit and can't wait to get that finished and in the shop. Here are 2 of my latest LO's as well.

Recently my DD Grace had to take some photos of friends and herself for a project for school. This one I found in her own little photo folder of her (left) and Piti one of her good friends since primary school. They are now both in Year 8!

Earlier in the year we did the day fishing trip with friends from the church we are involved with and Maddison just loved the day out as we all did. No fish caught for him but he had a blast anyways.

Well that should do for now but just want to leave you with a thought...as Christmas is fast approaching and we are all consumed with buying and making gifts for loved ones and preparing for this wonderful and magical season.....there are those around us far and wide and even right amongst us that are not as fortunate for one reason or another. Whether it be poverty that affects them or no-one to share Christmas with, or heartache and tragic circumstances, make the most of your precious moments with one another and take a moment to reflect on what you have. Love each other effortlessly and true and be truly grateful for all you have.

Until next blogging keep smiling and happy scrapping......Chris xx
