Hi Friends here we are again at this weeks photos.....There isn't many this week but boy next week I have a few.....

LM is loving his new Nikes he said they make him look older and run faster.....

Lots of this going on this week I cant keep the fish out of the water......

That wasn't suppose to happen like that......I wanted Kevin to move one of my barrels downstairs and he did but this is how it ended up....Barrel ok but he had to buy a new trolley....

I did a rearrange on our back deck to fit in our egg chair.....

Making Christmas card photos -behind the scenes..

Oh what fun we had  making Christmas cards for Kerry...

 Kerry came over and we had a mini photo shoot to get Jaxon's 1st Christmas card....

And yes we did have fun balls lights and laughter isn't that Christmas in self....

OMG talk about giggles  and I am not talking about  Jaxon no I am talking about me Kevin and Kerry...
Jaxon was a delight  pulling his hat off picking up the balls he loved the lights which were a little set of Led's that I bought...

And this was the picture that Kerry chose for their card.....

I added the details in Pic monkey and when Kerry got home Emmanuel added a white border around it and changed the exposure a bit ..

I was a beautiful day and we got a beautiful Christmas card which was a truly family affair in making it...

SO how many people did it take to make a Christmas card -....Me Kevin Kerry Emmanuel and of course Jaxon....



Today I am sharing over at Wow us Wednesdays

My stunning new cabinet...

Looky Looky what I got.....

I am a follower of  a wonderful blog called Lilyfield Life..The owner of this blog is Fiona who is so talented with her furniture restoration that it is amazing....she has on her blog furniture ,hints .some recipes it is just a great Australian blog...

Not only is she talented she shares who knowledge which is pretty unusual in this world and is only too happy to help someone ...

Well I have always loved her painted pieces and have come close to getting some but either they have sold or there was the time when I fell in love with her coffee table and she gave me first dibs on it but Kevin didn't like it so I let it go it is a decision that I regret every day. So I vowed that if I saw something again I like it would be coming home with me.....

And I found it....

Fiona posted this picture of a little cabinet she had bought and it was for sale.Well not for long I contacted her straight away and this beauty was mine....

Then I told Kev who said yeah ok if that's what you want ...

Well I did want....

This is my beauty half way along......

And this is the lovely Fiona with my beautiful cabinet when we picked her up....
I tell you I don't know what I was more excited about my cupboard or meeting Fiona....

She was exactly how she is on her blog....warm and very friendly and we got to meet her lovely husband Phil and kids Jonty and Sascha...

See that little white car behind Fiona well that is ours and yes this cupboard did  fit inside of it  lovely....thank goodness...

The top is new timber which Fiona has stained and waxed to the most beautiful finish.....

Here she is in her new (maybe) spot ...I think it looks so good here but still unsure ...and OMG  I am not using a doiley on this (YET) ha ha ..

                                                                    A close up view....

Sorry here she is again...I am just so happy with it.Fiona thinks that she may have been a coffee table once and a separate cupboard but whatever she was it has been married up great and I think is perfect...

Now I just have to think what to put inside it...ha ha ha

Last look at my new baby....well for today anyway...

Thanks Fiona I am so happy with this and so so proud to be the owner of a piece of your work..FINALLY ...

Australia Day

                                                                   Happy Australia Day.....

Kevin has to work today boo hoo so LM and I are just hanging out together  I think we will do some craft and maybe some cooking....

I am going to have a BBQ dinner tonight like how UN Australian is it not to have a barbie today.....

Lisa and Alan are going over for dinner tomorrow night so that will be our belated Australian Day celebrations...

What are you doing today?
 .

On another note today is mine and Kerry's Freedom Day.....This is our 16th Freedom day...

What !!!!! you ask is that...

Well it was on Australia Day that I left my husband of 17 and a bit years after finding him having an affair with my so called friend...

We call it Freedom Day as we managed to cut free of him and make a new and great life for the two of us....

Even though there was a lot of pain and tears for both Kerry and I we got through it and we are both very happy now.

Like they say things happen for a reason... and I thank God for giving Kerry and I a better life ...

Anyway enough of this I hope you have a wonderful Australia Day ...be it with friends and family or just yourself.

It is wonderful to celebrate living in such a great country and having the freedom we do ...

Happy Australia Day from my house to yours.....
