Well, it's all over for another year. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, I certainly did. On the crafting side, my biggie present from my favourite Santa was a Silhouette Cameo - I couldn't resist having a sneaky play on Christmas Eve. I just did this one cut..................... the coin is a UK coin, the size of a quarter to give you an idea of scale. There is no way that my Cricut could cope with a cut as delicate or intricate as this on such a small scale. So, yes, looking forward to exploring this machine......
Sharing with you a Birthday Diary envelope book that I made for this months Papercraft Inspirations. Check the magazine out for my ideas for sliding cards as well........
Some Christmas photos. Getting the table ready was a bit of a marathon, we didn't have enough chairs and had to beg and borrow some......
and the table soon got pretty full once the food was out.....
the children couldn't wait once lunch was over to rip open their presents.....
Max has always loved dressing up, so this cowboy outfit was a big hit......
This was meant to be a 'girlie' shot - me with Kiki, Alex, Annabel and Annabels mum - but a sleepy little Monty wanted to get in on the shot.....
I love to see the children in their PJ's, at the end of a long day - Milo had already asked to go to bed, he was so tired
My girls - Daughters in law Annabel and Lidia, and daughter Alex on the right
and a lovely shot of Lidia with Max
Hope you enjoyed this peek into our festivities. See you tomorrow x
What lovely pics of you and your family. Thanks so much for sharing. I'll be off to SB tomorrow with the "girls", we'll miss you. Glad you got home safely and I can't believe all you accomplished, wow. Love, Norma
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos of your family Christmas. I got a Cameo for my birthday in November but have been soooo busy I have only made one cut too. Trust me that is about to change. I have seen this machine in action and it is fabulous - goodbye Cricut.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful New Year.
Hugs!

Looks a lovely family Christmas, thanks for sharing your day.
ReplyDeleteI have a Cameo on order from USA, I don't know how long it will take to get here. I need to join some sites to learn how to use it. Any tips would be appreciated
OMG I screamed in excitement when I read your post on top! So happy you got a Cameo - whooo hooo about time, girl! I can't wait to see all the wonderful things you create with this machine - you are going to love love love this!
ReplyDeleteOn another note ;) thanks for sharing pics of your family - you have a beautiful family and I love seeing pictures of your grandkids. Have a wonderful 2013, Enfys!
lovely pics En of a happy family christmas...wow that cut is so intricate...does this mean I need to get a Silhouette...here's to a happy 2013 hugs kath xxx
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos Enfys, your grandhildren are scrumptious! I haven't seen the Cameo in action so I'm VERY impressed with the detail on the cut that you did. May have to investigate further! Hope you and yours have a wonderful New Year. Patx
ReplyDeleteI need to use my Expression more...
ReplyDeleteSo having a Cameo would be silly for me. But that cut is fab! Thanks for sharing the pix of your day. The kids have grown so much! What a gorgeous table! You did a great job. But the most important thing was the time with the family! Thanks again, Hugs, Jess
Hi Enfys, love your pics. You have a lovely family.

Beautiful family Enfys! Looks like a wonderful Christmas with your family. Oh, and you will love your Cameo.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely family Enfys! Please let me know how much you love your Cameo! I have a birthday coming on the 11th of January! TeeHee!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. Lovely family. Our holiday will be tomorrow. One daughter and family is travelling from Canada through a bad winter storm (she left a day later), so things are heating up here -cleaning, cooking, etc.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you.

I can't believe you got so much done in such a short time. Your Christmas looks like it was a beautiful family day. I had an equally wonderful family day. My favorite kind. My only grandaughter is coming home from California for a delayed Christmas visit in two weeks. I'm counting the days.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lot of fun, both with the Cameo and with the family. I ended up with the flu on Christmas day, but I'm back to normal now and hubby and I opened our gifts to each other today.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you make with that new toy of yours!
Wow that is some cut Enfys, makes me want one now. My cricut is well and truly neglected. Thanks for sharing your lovely Christmas pics. What a table!!
ReplyDeleteI've just got a Cameo as well, I'm as excited as you are. Love the way it copes with small detail. Thanks for sharing you Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you Enfys and to Mike and the rest of your family! I was so excited to see your Christmas present....I hope that you love your Cameo as much as I love mine! Where did you find that cut...I love it!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Years now too!
Hugs....
