Only 7 More Sleeps

Yep that's right!
There are just 7 more sleeps until Christmas!
So excited for Christmas to get here!

I have done all our Christmas shopping I just need to wrap everything up.
Last night I made a Cheat's Fruitcake seriously it was the easiest cake I have ever made.
It only contains three ingredients! Yes you read that right, just three ingredients!
The ingredients are:

1 kg dried mixed fruit
600 ml chocolate milk
2 cups self-raising flour

(For the method check it out the recipe here )
I used Ice Break Iced Coffee in place of the chocolate milk, I added glace cherries (my favourite) to the fruit & I added 1/4 cup of Bundaberg Rum.
Luckily there was enough mixture left to make a tin can cake so we could try it before taking it down to Ballina for Christmas! This cake taste SO good, though I might try it with the chocolate milk next time to see if it changes the flavour.

I seriously can't wait to go away for Christmas cause I get to snuggle my little man who is currently away visiting Nanny & Poppy after visiting with Grandma for a few days before.
He had a great time with Grandma & got to see Aunty Melinda, Phil & all the cousins which was great! Now he is busy helping in Nanny & Poppy's Christmas shop & playing with Coop!

So here are the last of the layouts I have done so far:

Well that's it for now I am off to bed 

Until next time,

Finally

Well with all the prep for Christmas I have had little time to scrap even with Rhyley visiting Nanny and Poppy at the moment.
I finally managed to snag a few hours to myself to scrap two pages about how busy we have been leading up to the festive season.

I am yet again finding myself promising to prepare for Christmas all through the year so I am not running myself ragged trying to get it all done so hopefully I can do it.
I know it would be so much easier if I did and I wouldn't stress half as much as I do.
Well there are just three days until Christmas now and I am so excited to get down to Ballina on Christmas Eve so I can see my little man!
I have missed him sooo..... much!

Anyway until next time

Heading to Ballina

Well it is like 2am here at the moment and I am supposed to be in bed.
But alas I can not sleep so I will share with you my latest layouts and hybrid projects.

We are heading down to Ballina in the morning to drop Rhyley off at Nanny and Poppy's for his holiday before we join him on Christmas Eve.
So I may actually have time over the next week and half to do some layouts.
Well I guess I should go and try and get some sleep before our trip.

Until next time,
