WOYWW - Some great news

Good morning to all the people all over the world that are still snooping desks, (go here to join us) while the rest of us are in freak out mode because we are so not going to finish everything before Christmas. My desk is looking a little better than last week. Some crafting is happening, but now its just for pleasure and playing with my grandies.

 My granddaughter, Hannah, her brother and sister are spending the days with us while their mom still has to work. Nothing gives her more pleasure than playing in ouma's scrap room. At 8 she is becoming quite good and let me tell you, I never tell her what to do, she learns everything through obervation.

Here she is, proudly displaying her latest work of art. I did help with the embossing, but she did everythinbg else all by herself. Quite a talented cardmaker don't you think?

Just had to share this photo with all of you too. They say you are never richer than when your grandchildren fight over your lap. I think that makes my DH the richest man in the world.
I Told you I had some good news. Well, apart from little Tiani responding very well to treatment, I have some personal good news too. My eldest DD has finally agreed to marry her partner of 7 years and they will be tying the knot on the 3rd of January. His brother is in South Africa and they decidedc yesterday to do it before Gary leaves. Can you hear the panic in my voice? I was told by DD yesterday that I will have to arrange everything because they are only coming back from holiday on the 2nd!!!! Yikes!
My second DD told me yesterday that she is expecting her 4th child next year. Looks like 2013 is going to be a busy b lessed year!
Have a very merry Christmas and may all of you and your families be incredibly blessed too.

  35. Hi Tertia! Thanks for popping by the Playhouse! I've had a wonderful visit back to you, enjoying your granddaughter's beautiful card and the picture of DH with the little ones! My 8-year-old grandtwinks just love making cards, too, and it is so fun to see their creativity and share with them.

    Good luck with the wedding and the new baby ... truly a blessed year ahead for you! Merry Christmas! Darnell #32

  37. WOW! How great to get so much good news and a wedding to boot! I know you can do it, though, you've been given tons of warning! Once my now SIL and my youngest DB were planning to get married at the courthouse, in two days and that would never do for our baby brother so we(my mom and I) planned and executed a wedding for them in just under 48 hours! I made the cake and the veil and train and flower arrangements and some appetizers and so on...it was kind of crazy but it came together and turned out perfect for them. You can do it! :) Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment already, Deeyll #33

  38. Just finished all my wrapping so I have time to go bloghopping, something I have not been able to do the past weeks!!! I love your granddaughter's card! How precious! My son is 17 and I think I would be awed having a grandchild, and yes, it would be even more awesome to have him or her or many of them fight over my lap! A blessed Christmas to you and your loved ones. May you have the choicest gifts of the season- love, joy, hope and peace beyond understanding. Patsy from
