our christmas tree this year, mainly focused on a golden bauble (:
was going to upload a special photo for the last photo of 2009, but this was all i could upload before my storage run out, nevermind. I'll upload it in 2010 ;) ahh that sounds so weird saying that :P
to me this years been strange, i've met some really amazing friends who i'll never forget, but I've also lost some very special friends in a way that is unhealable. I've tried new things, changed alot, learnt alot more, and learned to let go more, but not entirely.
horse riding was amazing in summer, the fast canters down fields with spider surging below me, the jumping, the whole thing was amazing, but winter let it down and I need to get the confidence I had in summer back, quick.
then there was rushing about markets in the snow buying lemon sherbets and going shopping and drinking starbucks, crunching through the leaves, going to bramham, halloween, setting marshmallows on fire, the cinema, pleasure beach.. theres been some amazing times.
Maybe I'll still be on here, this time next year saying how amazing 2010 has been..But i've got to let go of alot of the things of 2009 now, say goodbye & then forget.
hope everyone has an amazing 2010, and that their dreams come true :) xx
goodbye 2009 (:

In my opinion teapots (Christmas teapots including a Christmas teacup) are old fashioned - you must agree!!

My sister got a kitten named Timmy for Christmas. He immediately took charge of the model railroad set and played the part of a giant monster attacking the passengers and terrorizing the countryside. Next he attacked a little wind-up toy that would start out as a double-decker bus, go into a tunnel, and come out the other side as a single level bus, then reverse course to go back through in the other direction and pick up the double deck again. At the end of the movie, someone rings his dinner bell in the kitchen and he goes running off.
Here is a tree we planted in 2005 specifically for this time of year. Shot last night after the snow storm...
Christmas eve was VERY windy in pdx. Not hurricane windy or anything, but windy enough to blow over trees. I took this out the window at a stop light, so it's not that great.
The bells I bought from the gift shop at PCMC the year we had to be there the week before Christmas. That year I definitely heard the bell ringing, Polar Express style.

The Christmas feeling is all over the city....
Christmas decorations remind us that not much time is left...
Are you prepared for Christmas?...
A Christmas tree stands in front of a store in Grapevine Texas. This time of year the city is decked out in Christmas colors and lights for the season. Grapevine proclaims itself as The Christmas Capital of Texas®. Grapevine is the essence of Christmas decor as the city is blanketed with millions of lights, enormous decorations, animated characters and lots of smiling happy people.
I saw this design from Tortentante last Christmas and fell in love with it. (Thank you Tortentante for the tutorial on your blog!) This 4" cake is for charity, the first of four. Wow, square cakes are fiddly, especially with no buttercream underneath! I had to use almond sugarpaste as it turns out marzipan is pretty hard to come by here in NZ, interesting. Hopefully I'll have time to try making my own soon.
There are several culinary cooks in my family and when we come together for a celebration, everyone has to contribute to the table. People turn up with various sized containers full of all kinds of interesting food. These we plated up and arrange on several large tables. This year we served each course, (3), in a share platter arrangement. My contribution, numerous salad ingredients.
