Getting into Christmas!!!!

a

Well it seems ages since Ive been on here and updated things! I have got my computer room christmas tree up as you will have seen, and Bill and l put up the main tree in the living room on Saturday!

All was well until late on Saturday night as I was doing some finishing touches to the 'family paintings' in the kitchen, when I heard "come here quick"--I ran to the living room to find Bill buried underneath the christmas tree and Paddy looking very sorry for himself back on his cage!! Poor Paddy had tryed to land on top of the fairy on top of the tree!!!!!

Christmas Paintings

I have been busy over the past few days catching up on the 'christmas paintings'
I always paint the kids a new picture for Christmas, and so far have got 4 done! Got one more to do for my Becki and then 4 more for some special friends. Got to try and finish today,as Ive got lots of other stuff to catch up on.
The first set of Poppy Quartet have had their first coat of varnish, they will have another coat today and another tomorrow.
The kitchen looks like a bomb has gone off at the moment-paintings and paint everywhere!

Holly

We have Bills son Darren, girlfriend Lyndsey and baby Holly down for the night tonight. She is growing up so fast, Bill couldn't wait to try her out in the baby walker we bought for her a few weeks ago--as you can see she loved it!

Then it was time for bed, and as Ive been full of cold for the past week, Bill gave her the last bottle of the day and she s now fast asleep in her cot!

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY JIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant believe my son Jim is 30 today.

As usual I had some problems for him to sort out on the lap top!!!

He called round last night with his girlfriend Kerry and then my daughter Beckie and her boyfriend Wayne called by too, so it was great to have everyone together and have a chat!

Paddy loved it cos he could terrorise poor Beckie who's scared of him!!

ON A SADDER NOTE------

Today we had another funeral to attend, this time at Hereford crematorium-funny until Rita's cremation just over a week ago I had never been to a cremation, now Ive been to 2 in less than 2 weeks.

Fred the husband of my old friend Gladys passed away suddenly last week, so we went to say our goodbyes.

We called back via Leominster to drop off some posters and invites to the private viewing for Carole who has attended 10 painting sessions along with daughter Hayley.

We met her new puppy, a beautiful pattendale x jack russell puppy.

Sharleen- another of my students had given her some advice about training her and it had worked really well, she no longer nips at Caroles nose!!
