Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had an enjoyable New Year! We went away for a few days after Christmas to chill out and relax. I found time to finish a fun new kit which will be in my store shortly.

Here's a handful of photos from our time away.
The boys paddled out to the sandbar to have a game of cricket. Why did they do this....for the novelty factor! This is normally where people are water skiing...but the water level is continuing to drop each month!


There are lots of jetties which are now useless.


This is why it is very important to wear a helmet when playing cricket. The ball got wedged in Justin's helmet while batting. Without the helmet he could have done some serious damage to his face.

Here is Matthew eating one of the best vanilla slices ever....I should know, I had one too (well half of one anyway)!


I don't normally take bird photos but I snapped this one while at the beach and thought it turned out quite well.


And finally today, I have some extra papers which co-ordinate with my Party Season kit (which is still half price until January 7th).

Your pictures are great! It's a scorching 9 degrees Farenheit here in New England, USA. Today the idea of Christmas and New Year's on a warm, sunny beach sounds like something I could get used to! Thanks for sharing your talent and time with us throughout the past year. Here's to a good year for all of us!
