This knitted character is on the front of my favourite Christmas card of the year...

This card was given to me by Babs, I can call Barbara Babs now, we've passed the 'hairdresser/client' barrier after all these years of well... let's just say counseling each other, as well as haircuts & colours....

Anyhoo.....

My New TOY......

I was lucky enough this birthday to be bought the latest i phone, by James..

Reckon it was for good behaviour (mine not his...lol)

Only joking... !!

What a lucky girl I am though....

I love the things you can do with this phone, besides sending texts.....

(sorry Jen, I know you got more than your fair share of texts when I first got this, due to my finger accidentally slipping on the 'send' button sorry...!!)

& call someone, this camera is amazing... the apps you can download... & play about with the images & photo's are fab....

Here are some I've been playing around with...
