I'm BACK!!

And we had "the best Christmas EVER" to put it in Robert (my four-year-old's) words!
But no we really did have the best time. Lots and lots of presents - check out the mess here! And wow, did we all get some surprises!
I think mine was the biggest though, I got a Wacom graphic tablet, just like my Dad's I still can't believe it, but it is sat right next to me as I type, and as soon as I finish blogging, I am going to practise using it! I think it might take a bit of time to get used to, but already I can see the advantages!
Want to know what else I got, i got my photoshop bible, that comes with a Tutorial CD, so that will be interesting, I got a kitchen mixer and chopper! My one broke back in May I think, and since then I have been chopping manually, it will be great to have the machine do it again, so much quicker! I got the book that all the scrapbooking blogs have been raving about "Twilight" by Stephanie Meyers, so hopefully, they weren't all wrong. And so much more, but I won't bore you all!

The boys got everything off of their Xmas lists and more! So they both got their computers! So cute, aren't they. Robert is already really good at sorting out the largest and smallest numbers!
I won't list all of their toys, as I'll still be typing in the new year!!!

For all of those who know - Florian LOVED his calendar! I have been making him a CD Calendar these past few weeks and have been longing to show off the layouts I made for him, but as this is HIS blog, I couldn't BUT I have been posting them in my gallery at Been there Scrapped that, so if you fancy having a look at them, do pop on over. the cover page is linked to the gallery!


I also got Florian a digital photo frame for Xmas so that he can have it in Augsburg on his desk there, and see us all the time. Well, its a good job I used Mum to help organise it, as Florian had originally had the same idea for me!! AND exactly the same offer!! So funny, Mum managed to somehow dissuade him without giving the game away! So he was surprised when he opened the present! So funny!
oh and he also got a Chocolate fondue set, he had asked for one of those chocolate fountain things, but Mum had said, that no way was he getting one of them for xmas, but she did get him a fondue set. Which we tried out tonight, with all sorts of Mums fruits (her fruit bowl was much fuller than ours). And it was DELICIOUS!

Now with all of the presents we got, I will have a LOT of thank yous to be writing, I'll have to see what I can come up with!

I hope your Christmas's were as much fun as ours! (here is our christmas family photo!)


I'll be back tomorrow with my new kit, a special offer and a freebie!
