Off to a good start!

The New Year started really well, scrapping wise.

I have completed 2 layouts in 2 days - woohoo!

I'm happy to say that I can share one of them with you,

while the other one is off to Scrapbooking Memories (to be seen in a few months time).

Each year, we make gingerbread and decorate them.

I have Nicole to thank for this lovely tradition. I saw them on her blog a couple of years back and she generously gave me her recipe.

We have great fun baking them and it always makes for a fun page

full of detailed photos and a little story.

This year, due to a lack of time, I bought the gingerbread from IKEA already baked and we decorated them with Royal Icing - they looked less perfect than previous years only because we all had a real play at decorating them - and I love that!

Apart from scrapping this year, I'm looking forward to booking lots of photography sessions.

I'll be heading to Sydney in 9 days time to do just that.

If you'd like to see some of my favourite photos from 2009 sessions,

take a look over at my Photography Site ....
