happy monday ...

its monday night, i have just finished my deck of me card for this week ... and vacummed and mopped my floors before that ... i love it when my house is clean! especially at the start of the week ... sort of sets me off in the right direction!

we had a fun weekend, gary was away on a boys weekend .. so it was just me and the girls ... we went and saw the Bee Movie ... so cute and funny! on Sunday after church we swam in the pool and i did some cleaning up (it never seems to end) then went to a Christmas party which was fun. It is a fun time of year ... lots of happy things going on! gary didn't get home till late on sunday night ... he bought us home a present from the property he was staying at in the bush ... a scorpian! LOVELY! so now we are the proud owners of a pet scorpian ... her name is Samantha! how i know its a she is beyond me! lol! so i have a few pics from tonight when they all made her a habitat! oh my .. .talk about a nature study!
I have a couple of projects to share ... i made this clock for Gary's dad for Christmas, and also this decoration for his tree!



My deck of card this week is actually week 50 ... i got it wrong last week! ops! this weeks prompt is "greatest gift" I find that when i read the prompt i go for the first thing that pops into my head ... and my greatest gift i feel is being able to give new life. It is such a miracle making a new baby and i had the privilage of making 3 beautiful girls. it amazes me what my body went thru to do it, and how it bounced back again ... how they are now growing into young woman .... they have truely added so much to my life .. and i will always be greatful for that! The photo is when gianna was only 1 day old
i am so excited too ... my sister and her boys are coming to stay in Jan .... i can't wait!

What a great card! Nice to see the different things we all see as a gift! I went for a "material thing" but it was very special though!

Wow the ornaments in your tree are beautiful.

And you are right the most beautiful gift is giving live to a new life. I've got a boy and i hope being soon pregnant of the second child. You are blessed with 3 awesome girls.
