snap it {wrapped up}

If I'd been paying attention last week, to this week's topic, I could have used these.

Ruby watches me wrap. Probably from around the age of 3 she wanted to do it herself. She loves washi tape, any excuse to use the washi! She had made beautiful drawings to give to her cousins last Sunday as part of their Christmas presents. I love her concentration and seriousness of the job at hand. On this occasion she took photos of her handiwork. I have no idea where she gets it from. Ahem.

This week marks the year's end for Snap It. A whole year! Thankyou so much for hosting us all so beautifully and thought provokingly, Sarah! I've really enjoyed the challenge each week, only missing a handful here and there.

Lots more {wrapping up} of things over at Faith Hope & a whole lotta love, for the very last time in 2012!



*heart washi and 'handmade' stickers from here

snap it {spikey}

Tutus. Enough said.

More {spikey} things over at Sarah's.

snap it {bling}

I struggled with this one! And so I'm re-hashing.

More exciting {bling} over at Sarah's this week.

snap it {on my mobile}

I couldn't make my mind up on these two.
A bump that will be no longer in just a few short weeks (squee!).
And my beautiful boy with all his beautiful locks chopped off (sob). (When the warmer weather appears, he sweats so easily, especially at night. His long hair gets stuck all over his face and in his eyes. I never want to cut it, but there are plenty of things we mothers have to do that we don't like doing! He sat so still for the hairdresser, and when she had finished and asked him if he liked it? He had the saddest face I have ever seen on him, and whispered 'no'. I thought I heard my heart crack.)

Head over to Sarah's to see more {mobile} captures.

snap it {colourful}

Our morning was {colourful}. Birthdays are like that.

More colourful stuff over at Sarah's.

snap it {shiny}

This kid is {shiny}. From the inside, out.
Last week the morning sunshine tried to match him.
Even with a cold and a snotty nose, he still wins.

Lots of bright and {shiny} over at the lovely Sarah's.

snap it {new}

We have a three legged horse. Three and a half if we're talking specifics. No need to call the RSPCA. He doesn't live in the backyard. Just the farm animal basket. I admit, conditions aren't great but hey, he's got a roof over his head. His amputation happened quite a long time ago. Poor guy. I performed impressive surgery - he was four legged again for a while - but then another accident meant we had to accept the realisation that he would be forever different from the others.  Poor horsey has copped it from Middle lately about not being a very good horse. A horse should be able to stand up, people!

So today, we remedied our lame horse situation. Old Three Legs got to have a rest in the farm basket while we went out to buy two newbies. A stallion and a mare. And an elephant. He can live in the safari animal basket.

After our purchases we had another date with our doctor. When asked about his new horse, Middle proudly flipped Cole (yes, that's what he's named the horse.. original, no?) upside down and told doc that it was a boy horse because it had a wiwwy and a bottom!

The {new} GG's haven't left their owners' sides. Turning in for the night in the cramped farm animal basket with old Three Legs? No, no. It's all king singles and egyptian cotton flannie sheets, baby. I suspect it will be a while before they are relegated to basket conditions.

Check out what else is {new} this week, over at Sarah's.



*The detail on those Schleich animals is ridiculous.
** Look at those tiny horse shoes!
***Necessary to take so many pics of plastic animals? Meh
