Christmas Dreaming...(& shopping!)

Wow! Where are the days going?! I can't believe I forgot to post yesterday! Mum arrived on my door step bright and early all ready to hit the shops. I informed her that we needed to stop for coffee at Starbucks before my heart could even start to beat, let alone tackle the Christmas crowds! After Precious Princess, Mum, and I were all refreshed and highly stimulated, we dove head first into the crazed crowds. 7 hours later...........we got out with out too much injury (only to my wallet.....ssshhhh, don't tell One True Love!). We did manage to get quite a few presents on our ever growing list, posted off a truck load of Christmas cards, and bought some more Christmas decorations for the house. Precious Princess is my official present wrapper upper, lol, so she hastily got to work a-wrappin' as you can see by what's under the tree already. I bought a wonderful Christmas music CD, so we had that blasting through the house as she wrapped and I prepared dinner. I also got a new table runner for the coffee table as seen in these photo's, and I finally got some Christmas cushion covers! I have been looking high and low for Christmas cushion covers and finally I found them.......so I bought a dozen, just in case! lol (go away One True Love, there's no need for you to be reading this......sweetie pie, honey. Love you! xx) I don't know if you can see it or not, but outside the window is a raging storm. The thunder is crashing, the lightening is striking all over, and the rain is teeming down. Paris Fifi & Julietta have gone off to curl up and hide in their beds, Precious Princess is dancing around practising for her dance concert this weekend, and I am taking photo's for you. Now I'm off to sew on yet MORE sequins to dance costumes! ARGH!! On another note, would you mind saying a little prayer for my Princess, she goes in to get braces put on her teeth in the morning and we are both excited, but really nervous too! I just hope it all goes quickly and with-out any dramas. Thank you!

I have to say a big thank you too, to Marcela from 'Siempre en algun lugar' for blessing me with the "Friends Make The World Go Around" award, and to Susan from Black Eyed Susan's Kitchen for tagging me for the "5 Random Things About You". I'll have to think on that one and post 5 things tomorrow. Right now though I'd like like to pass the Friends Make The World Go Around award to all of my blogging friends because with out you stopping by to visit each day and leaving your lovely sweet and, often funny, comments, I would be pretty lonely I do believe. I love to visit each of you and share in your daily lives, and I am thrilled when you each stop by and visit with lil' ole me too!

Love Amanda.
