Me.. well i was spoilt too....lol.. i got my new sewing machine... ohh so nice... and my naughty little Mark went out and brought me some more Pandora charms.. now that was a surprise!!!
Christmas Day at our place was really great this year....
Christmas EVE.. i was up late.. Waiting for David to arrive from Perth.. he got in about 1am!!.. But it was great to see him.. so while i was waiting i took a couple of photos... Santa must have Jim Beam in our house...lol.. (went down really good too...lol)
These are just a few photos... i still have heaps to look at!!.. How is the last one of Keenan... thats him opening up his Ipod... Do you think he liked it??....LOL...
Well thats it from me today.... still have heaps to catch up on...
We shut the shop as of New Years Day to start our renovations.. The shop has been gutted and re tiled, stainless steel all over the walls, new counters etc...
Yesterday Mark and i spent the day there (mum watched the kids) To start to step the shop back up so we can re open Tuesday.. i will share the photos next post!!!....
OH yeah.. i need some help from any handy hubbies out there... PLEASE..
I took an old butchers block from the shop that we don't need to use any more and i want to restore it and use it in my kitchen... anyone have any idea where i start??... the top needs to be cut off the main block to make it a flat surface again.. Mark is so NOT a handy man and doesn't have a clue where i begin...
take care

Glad to haer you had a good Christmas Connie we had it at our house and I felt as if I was in the kitchen all day as well..
My little boy got a battery quad bike as well he rides it around the house most of the day. Hope all goes well for the shop re-opening. Would love to take part in the photo swapp as well.

Sounds like you all had a blast on christmas day. The look on Keenans face is classic, you can't fake that look of surprise and delight.
Good luck with the re-opening of the shop it all sounds very swish.
sadly no help with your butcher block dilemma.
cheers
