Christmas decorations 2012 and a birthday.

 
For the start of Cheryll's  "One week of Christmas Decorations" I want to show you my latest project. Our Tuesday girls took a walk to "the dark side" as our Sandi calls it, scrap booking and it was such fun to do something a bit different from the norm.
 
Now see if you can see the mistake........ my family were very happy to point out to me, they are so caring hahahaha.
 
 
 

                                                  Can't see it yet ?

 
Well here it is

 
I'm seriously thinking of leaving it that way...... back to front  A..... its become a talking point around here so I will give that a bit of thought as it really is funny that the only person that didn't see it was me..... it might be because I'm a little older now..... it was my birthday yesterday and all my family came for lunch, it was such a great day to all be together at the same time.
 
So naturally I will now bore you with family photos
 
I don't know who that old bird is there....... Oh my god ..... its me 


          That's Gavan and Heather (daughter) in the background looking as stunned as me lol.

           Liz made the birthday cake, it was a beaut sponge and tasted fantastic.... soooooo tall.

 
Here she is our baby and being naughty as usual, its very hard to get a photo of her without her pulling faces...... lol.... but that's our Liz though.
 
 
The rest of our family except for Corinne as she was the camera person.
 
 
Such a great day..... Thank you everyone  and for all the phone calls and messages.... you all made it so special.
 
I'll pop back tomorrow to show my pressies and of course more "Christmas at our House".

Happy birthday Helen - what a wonderful day you've had. I thought about you a few times yesterday. Leave the letter back to front - will give the family a giggle each year.
