Into each envelope I stuffed a payslip and a £50 gift Voucher. As I left the office at the end of the day, rather than the usual washed-out, het-up, frustrated feeling, I was aware of feeling calm, warm, and sort of cosy.<br />Merry Christmas.John (JWJarts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17802012611212667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-36093051353643444222011-12-21T03:52:51.326-08:002011-12-21T03:52:51.326-08:00You caught the moment in your painting, and the lo...You caught the moment in your painting, and the lovely photos of you and your boys,how precious they are.

I loved reading it all and your photo's are so lovely to see too!<br />Well, the painting is once again completely beautiful - I really need to think of a brand new word!<br />I just LOVED it when my children believed in Santa. I kept it up for as long as possibe, until they were about eleven! I'd always wrap Santa's presents in different wrap than the others and also he always spelled their names wrong every year! And Santa was always very messy in our house - knocking over the fireguard, leaving muddy prints... Oh, those were the days :0)<br />I'll be putting my last post up before the new year this afternoon or tommorow, so please forgive me should I miss any of your posts after that because there are so many things I need to do in preperation for Christmas. I will catch up though as soon as I can :0) So - please have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New-Year!Sandra Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622208510609673242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-65548496467111568342011-12-21T01:34:18.092-08:002011-12-21T01:34:18.092-08:00Merrry Chirstmas to the one and only Cook family. ...Merrry Chirstmas to the one and only Cook family.
