love summer holidays

Happy 2009! I have had a wonderful holiday season thus far. We have just returned from a little trip away to Napier where it was smeltering hot! We have never properly been to Napier before so it was a real treat to stay and take in the sights. The city centre is super tidy and the Art Deco buildings are amazing! It's nice to get out of the city and see other parts of our beautiful country.

So, for the next week and a bit (yes, I am still on holiday! teeheehee) I am looking forward to getting back into the crafts and since we have been without the internet whilst away, I have lots of catching up to do on FB + Google Reader! Isn't it sad how we are so internet dependant these days! Well, some of us more than others ;-).

Heres hoping 2009 will be a brilliant year!
