goodbye 2011...

another year over and a new one to come. With many exciting new things to look forward to.

mini converse's...

for mini people. They don't get much smaller than this.  Tooooo Cute

It's the little things...

and special little touches that mean the most.

mans best friend...Zoe and Amy

 enjoying a heartfelt hug.

the perfect holiday house...

this is not my personal photo but one I found on the net, and seeing as I have a week off now and thinking of holidays, this little shack caught my eye.  A " close to the beach holiday home".

fun toys...

so many to pick from.

sweet Keeta...

c'mon girl, You can do it.

Random...

So love the new lights in my house.

xmas cookies...

I was spoil today by a Swedish lady with these delicious traditional Syrup Snippers that are a traditional Scandinavian christmas biscuit. They tasted a bit like a gingerbread. Very nice...

reflections...

of love.

online shopping...

Its always nice to support the local community , but these days most shops are either owned by huge companies such as Coles, Woolworths and Westfarmers.   And now you can buy anything from anywhere with The world wide web .  I received these quirky earrings from Brooklyn, New York.  Took 3 weeks but I love them and it was worth the wait.

hoping to win the big one...

this time of year there are a lot more people hoping to win that extra money for xmas, but usually walk out with much less.

art...

some locals came into work today wanting to sell their artwork. This one sold.

sweet...

kids + santa = MAGIC

sunset...

beautiful sunset tonight...

magnificent flower...

does a flower get any more beautiful than this???

the busier the day ...

the more random the shot. Coming up from the carpark to face the Christmas crowd .

dogs love santa too...

how wonderfully behaved are Zoe and Cutter here while visiting Santa.  Looks like a lot of fun Amy. Things we do with our pets!!!

our botanical gardens...

have some amazing old trees just like this one.  Which is never likely to blow over.

favorites...

nothing like photo's to make a house a home.

catching up...

Had a Christmas catch up for coffee and with my friends today at  "The Giddy Goat".  Ralda and Wendy posed it up for me( not that they had a lot of say).  I love these times together, and each of us we had a little show and tell of things that have been happening to each of us in our lives.  I think that is the new rule from now on.  Such fun.

another random shot...

of nothing in particular. 

action shot...

my little mouse dog finally got her first one.
