Were did December go?

Well I had every intention of doing Daily December this year, but didn't even get to the first day. I know December is busy enough in the Northern hemisphere, but for us south of the equator we also have the whole end of school year presentations, concerts and summer vacation preparations. crazy!!

I also had my daughters 7th birthday party the day after the last day of school. She had a disco party here is the table I did (frame by Amy Martin):I did have time to do the latest Fix It Friday, too late to add it to the blog though, but here it is anyway:

and my fix, again using Coffeeshop's sun kissed action and some minor adjustments:

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and that all my Australian friends are enjoying their summer. We are going to the Gold Coast in a few weeks, I cannot wait.

So I will leave you with a picture of our Christmas Tree and our beautiful seafood lunch with prawns, octopus, mussels and butter poached scallops in their shells with celeriac puree. (frame by Vinnie Pearce)
