Another year completed

So yet again, it is xmas.

I am posting some photos here from my big camera so that I can easily use them for social media, anyone else do that? 

Xmas is a crazy time for me because its when most people buy jewellery and I also have to do xmas single handed, which not always that easy or fun, but I am always glad I did it and see those gleeful faces on xmas morning. It is really my favourite time of the year.

I also have the addition of a four legged child too. I have been walking about 2 hours per day for a year, I have not noticed any difference to my wobbly bits (they are still wobbly) but it must be doing something good right? I have seen a lot of wildlife.

I always breathe a big sigh of relief when I get to the end of xmas jewellery orders, not just because I can relax for a bit, but mainly because we made it financially for another year, and that's a huge accomplishment I try to remind myself of. I have been having a funny feeling lately, like a warm fuzzy sensation in my eyes and legs and I think it may be happiness. (or iron deficiency)

Thank you to each and every customer, I truly feel so supported and appreciated.

I haven't yet wrapped up presents (although the kids are reminding me on the hour every hour) but after that is done is when I get out the port and After Eights, put my feet on the coffee table, and declare myself drunk until January. 

(just joking, as the only adult in the house I have to be available to drive to a&e at any given moment).

Below are some xmassy snaps from this year at ours...

The children decorated the tree this year! (And I didn't need to move anything afterwards).

Remember when I made these stockings? 

Take care and peace to all x
