Snip, Snap, Crop

Well I haven't been around for days because we took a trip up to Mildura for the last week of school holidays and then had the boys birthday on Monday. Can you believe it, I have survived 9 years with triplet boys? Where has the time gone? I haven't been doing too much creating as we have been busy getting back into the swing of things with school starting. This heat is also getting to my head..... 40+ degree days are not my kind of fun really and truly. Today I went to craft with the plan of making some cards for a card class next month and with all the talking I did, I only completed one.

Finally I managed to get it completed and in 'just' in time and voting is now open for the next two days. If you get a chance, feel free to drop by www.puzzlesketches.blogspot.com and vote for Melissa. Amazingly enough on Christmas morning I managed to get a photo of us all together. Good thing Jason was thinking about using the self timer....... It's a rare occasion that you get all the Docking boys together but here they are. I could really have made an effort to crop the photo a little but you get the idea. I even managed to get a photo of the tree just after Santa had dropped by, by the looks.
