SSCS ornament sent...............

Gail receives my parcel this year in the Secret Santa Christmas Swap..............

you can find Gails blog here @ Gail's Place...........

Always wonderful to know your parcel has arrived.............

No peeking in that main present yet Gail............hope it is safe under the Christmas tree.............

Thanks heaps to Janice @ Jannimary who showed me how to make this little beauty..............It was fun making our ornaments together..........and I only just realised she showed me how to make mine to send to Gail and Gail was her Secret Santa..............

Life is a little out of control........stinking hot (run of 40deg) and super busy..........

So now I will say Merry Christmas my fellow blog readers just incase I don't get back here............And apologise in advance as I cannot see myself having time to comment on your Christmas posts even if I do get to read them........But know I am wishing you all the best no matter what may happen I hope you have some special time with family and/or friends...........

Catch you later.......

Sscs ornament.....

My Secret Santa Christmas Swap (SSCS) arrived in the mail all the way from Germany...............its always terribly exciting when your parcel arrives...........and mine arrived in two separate boxes............

Dagmar @ Quilts and More sent to me...........

Look at this gorgeous ornament...........

sorry not the best photo but it kept spinning around and the mozzies were biting me..........this is the best of the pics.........

no decorations out here yet.........with life a little overwhelming its difficult to get into the Christmas mood...........but what a burst of joy this little parcel brought............

now i'll keep my main present safe and there are a couple of extra parcels in the box...........thankyou so much Dagmar............

Catch you later.....

SSCS ornie.......

wow what was supposed to be a quiet week has been pretty busy.............

We put up some fairy lights..........I love fairy lights.............We had some neighbours over............otherwise no one would ever see them..........

When we first got marreid we put up lights for many years...........very few people ever saw them..........it's was more just because we loved to do it.........

this week has seen some early starts to get some sheep work done............well I am normally up way to early anyway but usually out in the garden putting hoses on and fiddling around in summer........it was pretty dusty..........I tried to stay out of the worst of the dust as the last few times I have ended up sick...........weaning (taking the lambs from the ewes), needling the lambs with vaccination - think childhood vaccine programs and also putting in the required visual ID ear tag..........you can't sell them without the tag  in their ear...........

But exciting news is that my SSCS arrived.......we only get 2 deliveries of mail a week if we are lucky and a bundle of mail came in earlier in the week when I was busy and I forgot to go back and then I found my SSCS parcel............

thanks Marika in Germany........hanging on the tree now how cute is this ornie..........the main present is safe under the tree.........

WISHING everyone a Merry Christmas...............please take it that if I comment on your blog during the year I have read your Christmas post if you have put one up or if you do tomorrow and I have thought of you as I read them but just too busy to comment on all of them........

Stay safe and have a wonderful Christmas........

Hope the man in the big red suit finds you.......

Catch you later......
