    Afternoon all,

    This website allows you to submit a photo of a family member/friend and incorporates them into a storybook! Their photo and name is included throughout your choice of story. :j

    I ordered one a few months back and was delighted with the quality.

    Happy reading!

    hello all

    lots of posts to catch up on but am loving this thread, been working far too hard and am looking forward to a bit of time off now in the kids holidays.

    i have started to worry myself a bit now as after catching up on some posts last night i went to bed and started thinking about how to decorate my christmas table for christmas lunch, i was still thinking about it when i woke up at 2am.
    I then had to remind myself it was only july and i could think about it later ha ha. if anyone has any lovely piccies of their tables in future i would love a bit of inspiration and i may get some sleep!!! you ladies have turned me christmas crackers if you pardon the pun!

    also was thinking a bit about adapting the christmas eve hamper and making a christmas hamper for a friend who is a fellow christmas addict, maybe a christmas dvd, book like night before christmas, stocking, christmas cd, christmas cake, mulled wine, nuts and christmas planner for next year. (actually i would love this for me!!!!!!)

    oh and congratulations cdsmiler

    Hiya whizzer,

    LOL @ you already worrying about your table display! I don't even have a tree yet (previously lived abroad where they didn't celebrate Christmas and am moving into my own place on Thursday). I think I'll be mega cheap and use one of those funky wooden 3d trees :rotfl:

    Some ideas here to get you started on table displays:

    Morning Everyone

    Hope everyone is well, I'm bored and fed up and only been up a few hours. I have been confined to barrack with the swine flu, so there is nothing for me todo but stay in and rest, I am gonna try and get some organising done, well as much as I can manage anyway. Given OH the shopping list for the weekly shop :eek: dreading what the bill is going to be and what he will actually buy LOL. Kids are in school as they show no symptoms and it's there last day, so will have them home for the rest of the week, fingers crossed they don't get it too.
