December Journal.............Day 1

 Last year i made a December Jounral

and its so nice to refer back to.

I havnet had the time to make one up this year

so i have decided to do my December Jounral on my blog instead!!!!

So this is how the month started!!!

During the week, my first christmas gift was custom made and delivered

by one of my oldest and dearest friends

Jo...

Jo and I met way back before we even started school.

We were at the local greyhound track that both her father and my father were helping to build!

I met Jo's sister Sandra as she was more my age,

but i remember Jo as she had the most curly unruley hair!!!

(The things you remember!!)

But when i repeated school in Year 4, i ended up in the same year as Jo when we met up at high school.

And we have been mates ever since...

She was "Foges" back then and i was "Heag"  lol

Anyway Jo is learning to decorate cakes...

and look at her awesome work!!

being that she has now left school, had their fun fair on Friday night!

It was such a pleasant night

jsut the right temperature!!

I was called upon to do what i do...

Balloon Twisting...

So me and two other ladies sat twisitng all night.

The two helpers had never twisted a balloon until i showed them how half an hour before the event!!

But didnt we breath a sign of relief when another "professional" twister came along with his pump!!

So the four of us had a very busy night...

Here is Emelia, Miranda and I at the Fair...

Originally i was requested to wear the clown suit!!

No way, been there and done that and got the tshirt!!

I dont feel any need to do that anymore, but i did offer them both my clown suits if there was another person keen to give it ago..

and there was..

I managed to get a photo with one of them...

He enjoyed the suit for the night.

This was before he had his face done though....
