My Christmas

Well we all know what Tamsin got up to at Christmas, but her owner had a great time too. Did the usual cruise of the local neighbourhood looking at fairylights... (pity I cant work out my action/night camera settings! lol).Then spent the traditional Christmas Day with the inlaws in house overlooking the beach. Always fun. My fatherinlaw is always the joker and this year was no exception, with my brotherinlaw getting baked beans as one of his presents... Surprisingly, (thanks to F.I.L. again) my cat Minkya was even treated to a present from my sister-in-law's pets! How sweet! :))

And here is one of the cupcakes I baked for the day as a treat for the kids. So cute!

Also spent Boxing Day relaxing at home with my dad over. Was sunny again so swam and watched dvds. Not over yet though, cause tomorrow we're off again to see inlaws mothers side up the coast. Its a long Christmas in this household...

Sold!

Forgot to mention that I sold one of my drawings (pictured above) at the recent exhibition of our art class works. Woo hoo! This was the drawing that most of my friends said was their fav, so not surprised it was the one that sold. They also said they hoped to exhibit our stuff again soon so are holding onto the rest of the drawings so will see what becomes of it.

Below is a drawing I did after the exhibition entries had closed, but it ended up being my personal favourite. Who would have thought drawing someones unironed shirts would be so much fun! lol

Merry Christmas from a warm climate :)

Wishing all my wonderful friends a fabulous Christmas.
Many of you am sure will have weather envy :))

Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeth...who needs them!

Welllllll... haven't I had a whirlwind of a week... Last week I started to get a bad toothache when one of my wisdom teeth decided it wanted to get infected, which in turn gave me an infected ear and throat too. Was in a lot of pain and started on antibiotics. It wasnt getting better and knew I had to face the inevitable... the dentist! My dentist suggested the last time I saw him that I get all 4 wisdom teeth out as a precaution against infections such as this, but I insisted I didnt need to as was in no pain. Nothing like a bit of agony to make me take heed! So anyway, decided to bite the bullet (excuse the tooth pun) and book to have all 4 teeth extracted within days. Then began the horror stories from friends of what to expect. Some said swollen faces, painful jaw etc. I was totally freaaaking out and was almost ready to cancel the dentist and insist instead on being knocked out under general anaesthetic at the hospital, however in the end decided to face my fears and get it done as planned.
Funny thing was... once I was in the chair and had my IV sedation, I dont remember much else. Didnt feel any pain and havent really felt much since. Just take painkillers and rest and has all been quite rosy. No face swelling, no painful gums. Even went back to eating solid food the next day! Sometimes the fear of an event is the most horrific part... So here is gummy bear signing off for the night :)
