| one of my two new ornaments for this year |
This year (not quite sure how) I got all I wanted done in time for Christmas eve with less stress than previous years. I still need to be much much better organised, so I may start making next years cards as soon as I can - that was last years plan as well. I even got some peanut brittle made on evenig of the 23rd. Did not manage to find my christmas music.

| next year better decoration |
All the baked and handcrafted presents were received well. I made my gingerbread sleigh on christmas day and kind of decorated it a couple of days later. I changed the recipe that I found slightly - partly because I didn't have any ground cloves and partly because I thought the gingerbread would taste better without it.
I got given a copy of SERIF CRAFT ARTIST for christmas, I had the compact version which was quite good but this is so much better. It came with a manual that I am working my way through, a nice thick detailed easy to use manual. I will be able to do so much more than I ever dreamed of. It may sound a bit odd raving about an instruction manual above all other things but eighteen months ago my partener brought me a CRAFT ROBO (which has since changed its name) which came with information on how to turn it on and change the blades. I had to join a forum and wait for a month before I could access their site properly before begining to get to grips with it. Second plan - use craft robo more often and learn more about it.

I really hope that everyone enjoyed their Christmas and New year as much as I did and that we all have a good 2012.
