Hi,
Well its definitely been an interesting time,
here at Chez Moi.
My partners Niece has moved in with me

they think that they know everything.

New Challenge #220 at Glitter N Sparkle

HAPPY NEW YEAR,
and I wish you all the most joyous 
2017.

Well after a lovely time away,
(despite my parents getting stuck in Norway,
where it took them 4 days to get home
 due to the weather being so bad,
their Flights were being cancelled all the time.)
we are all back home where we belong.

But I think the best news, we as a family have had,
is my Brothers news.
He and his wife are expecting,
and yes to make it more fun they are having
un-identical TWINS.
(hence this weeks project)
I am wishing them both and my nephew
all the best in the coming months,
and I can't wait to meet my new
Nephew and Niece.
