I hope everyone has a very Happy and safe, holiday break. I'm on holiday for three weeks now which is wonderful.
Thank you all again for your kind comments and thoughts over the past twelve months, it has certainly been another fulfilling year in our household.
We've had our share of dramas but on the whole the positives win out by far. I have another beautiful grandson and am awaiting the arrival of another grand child in the next two weeks.
I have lots of jewellery and journals to make, stamps to carve, a princess wall to paint and a garden that needs finding, so I'm not sure if three weeks is really enough. But it will be bliss.
I've been watching the news and seeing all the snow and freezing cold weather in the UK, US and Europe. We are at the other extreme, today was 37deg C, it's still very balmy at 10.00 this evening. We have all of the windows open trying to catch a waft of a breeze.
They promise us low 20's for Christmas day so we're hoping they will be right. South Australia has been suffering badly today with extreme temperatures and fires.
I've taken a few photos of our living area this evening showing some of our decorations. It looks so cosy and wintery belying the real heat of the day.
Enjoy your Christmas or whatever it is you might celebrate and I'll post again shortly. I've almost finished another journal so will have photos soon.

Don't work too hard during your break Ro! I love your decorations, especially the twiggy ones. Have a super Christmas and New Year and welcome to your newest family member when he/she arrives.
Enjoy your break Ro and a very merry christmas to you and yours.
We are having the same high temperatures in SAfrica at the moment. Must be 40 today but they predict 20 for christmas day.
I really like the branches in the vase : ) Happy Holidays to you
Ro, many many happy wishes for you and your family and friends. These photos make me think: magic! I have really enjoyed your site and your stories, and look forward to next year's visits. I am wearing the bracelet you gave to me regularly (can't work in it, though...it's a party bracelet!) and always think of you.
Happy Holidays!
Sounds like you've got a busy and fun vacation planned, Ro. Thanks for sharing a bit of your Christmas with us! Looks lovely and, indeed, cozy. We're part of the snowed-in group, so we'll definitely have a white Christmas this year. I'm hoping that you have a c-o-o-l Christmas! Have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year! Holiday Hugs, Terri

Your home is beautiful as always. Enjoy your extra long holiday. Oh how I wish for the same.
And how sweet.....more babies.

Enjoy your break Ro, sounds like a wonderful and busy one is planned! I was catching upo on your recent posts! The purple brooch is gorgeous! Love it! And I am blown away by the ice resin play! Now I would love to learn how to play with that! My mind is boggling over the possibilities! Have a wonderful Christmas and I'll pop back in with the new year to see what you're up to! Funny how some pictures suggest coolness or warmth isn't it! Hugs xox
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Hi Ro!
Glad your back to full health. Hope you have a nice day on Christmas day today. See you in the new year!!
Your decorations are beautiful and so artistic like you! Enjoy your time off and don't work too hard. Be sure and get some love from that new grandbaby.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
your christmas arrangement looks so inviting.
Yep your year has been eventful, I bet you're excited about the future though..
I think warm and cozy inside AND outside is definitely the way to go. At this point in my life, I want all of my muscles and bones to creak softly, not break :-)
Thanks for your visit Ro. It was so good to hear from you. It looks like you have all sorts of good things planned for the new year to come. I look forward to the continuing saga of creativity down under.
Love,
Karen
Happy holidays to you too Ro!!
These photos make me think: magic! I have really enjoyed your site and your stories
