It’s been a Huge week of Christmas activities around here. A lovely hot week saw us kicking back in the pool, celebrating with friends and enjoying the Christmas tree. Storms rolled through triggering my anxieties, yet thankful for the small moment as they rolled by to capture the blue skies pushing through. There’s been new art classes, gardening and Magical Elves.

Not so magical was the Gnome I called Carol who managed to kidnap the rascally Elf. Do you have an Elf – ours is Elf (Alf) Stewart… this year, after a year of him being the ultimate LAZY elf not moving far… he suddenly appears to be moving again. My money is on the magic!

Also my husband HATES Carol. So I am totally keeping him out the entire year!

This week

I am READING nothing. I have been super slack!

Watching – full disclosure I watched the Harry and Meghan special. I call it research for my writing. Others (like my family) might call it obsessed with the dramas! I also started Kath and Kim – I can’t believe I never watched it!

Listening to Taylor Swift and Kpop songs my daughter insists I listen to!

Working on a secret squirrel set of gifts!

Planning everything! Am looking forward to potential ideas for the new year and how my creative life will shape a fuller year!

Enjoying my fifteen packets of magical elves. I can’t help myself. If there’s a Magical Elves anonymous – clearly I need to Attend!
