Oh Adobe I think this was a little bit of overkill

But thanks for the free USB drive!

Do find the postage systems used my big companies confusing? I do! It seems like everything I order from Shutterfly gets posted individually too!

But I’m not complaining – I love the extra mail!

Happy 2011!

Yesterday was a quiet day at home while Mum and Dad S headed off to Brookton for the day. We had planned pizza’s for dinner from a local shop, but of course they and the other option weren’t open for new year’s eve. Phill was thrilled to suggest we went with Pizza Hut, as he has a soft spot for them! After eating dinner with Les, Woo and Stan (and Mum and Dad) and watching a Very Specky Christmas we headed off to a New Years Eve Party.
We saw in the new year with Phill’s friends from Claremont Baptist days, and I caught up with a few people I’d not seen in a long while. I couldn’t believe I managed to stay up until 12 with ease, after last year where my cousin’s wife Esther and I were well and truly ready for bed!

Today we took a photo of Emily with her presents under the tree, and now all the decorations are coming down and the presents are getting tidied up around here.
I’ve not quite finished selecting my word for the year, but I’m working on it, I’m tossing up a few:

• grow
• small steps (yes, that’s 2 words!)
• bloom

Any thoughts?
Wishing you every blessing for 2011!

Make your own 2011 Calendar–simple and stylish

Looking for a calendar to get ready in time for the new year?
There’s an awesome CD calendar over at OScraps by Biograffiti.

If you print with Persnickety Prints they’ll even throw in a CD jewel case for free!

I ended up creating some custom calendars for my relatives, with pictures from 2009 and supplies from the Digi Game in 2010, I printed them at home on our printer as I was trying to get them ready for Christmas! After a little trimming and fiddling around with preview on my parents iMac, I printed them all. I then trimmed them to fit some CD cases in my craft tote which I bought for this very purpose a couple of years ago.

The calendars were very well received and when I hear we were having a couple of extra visitors on Christmas day it was fairly simple to swap out a few photos and print off a couple more gifts.

Are creating your own calendars for 2011?  Why not link me up to yours?
