Last post of the year!

Can you believe it's December already, how this year has flown? It certainly hasn't been the best year in my life, but really I don't have too much to complain about. We leave for our vacation probably on 7th or 8th, a long 19 hour drive to Somerset West where we have out holiday house, Mark and I, 3 of our kids and 3 of their friends/girlfriends (out oldest Wesley has already taken his leave this year and is staying here to keep an eye on the house and animals), and our 3 dogs are going with us.Our friends Riana and Wessel will join us on the 16th for 3 weeks .

So this is my last blog post until January!

Can you say cuuuuuuute??!!

We have a new addition to the family. Cherye (my DD) has been wanting a dog of her own for ages, and she set her heart on a Pekingese . About a week ago she saw a litter in a pet shop and begged me if she could have one. So Biscuit came into our lives, the most gorgeous, cute, fluffy, energetic, playful, fearless little pup. It is a mission to keep him clean, his face has to be cleaned a few times a day, and he is brushed a few times a day.
So how was your iNSD? I did a bit of shopping, who can resist a sale? And played some games at Memory Scraps, and did some challenges. Here are some of the LO's I did:

Template Challenge- using KimB Designs Merry a Round
