It didn't help that J had been up since 5am, and had refused to have a morning nap. So he'd been up 8 hours by the time this photo was taken. Much too long for a little fella.I'm having difficulty getting him to sleep until a decent hour in the morning. Consequently, I'm feeling very sleep deprived at present. Yawn. And I have no Christmas cheer this year. I'm feeling decidedly flat and miserable.
So, I'm going to have a little holiday from blogging over Christmas. And from scrapping. Who would have thought that the time would come, lol. I think it's the combination of not having much time, not having a dedicated scrapping space, and being tired. Oh, and not having achieved any of the scrapping goals I set for myself this year! Time to do something else, I think?
Thanks to everyone who has dropped by here this year! I look forward to each and every one of you saying hi! I've found being a SAHM to be incredibly lonely. I'm feeling really dislocated from things at the moment and you have no idea how much you make my day by stopping to say hi.
Have a great Christmas

Kathie, I have to come by and see u and Jamie next year >? (Maybe we could have another Adelaide get -together next year also>?
Don't put off scrapping totally! When u feel the urge do something, if u don't leave it alone! I am the kinda girl that has to have many things happening at once! Try and find another hobby that is interesting>?
Merry x-mas my friend :)
Oh Kathie, big hugs mate!! It's been a big year of changes for you and if you need a little break then you do that and embrace it!! I'm sorry to hear you feel lonely at times - it's not always easy adjusting to the stay at home Mum thing. Are you still going back to work in the new year?? That might be just the change you're looking for.
Best wishes for a wonderful Christmas. Don't forget to take some time for youself!
Kathie having a baby changes just about everything in your life, doesn't it? Don't feel alone - I think everyone who has ever given birth has gone through these feelings you are now struggling with.
You just do whatever it is that makes you happy for the next little while. Don't put yourself under any uneccesary pressure, and just try and enjoy yourself a bit.
I would be sorry to see you find another hobby. Maybe just a break from scrapping for a while is just what you need to refresh yourself and find some enthusiasm.
Have a fabulous Christmas Kathie,

:)) Ich kann mir schon vorstellen, daß so ein Weihnachtsmann ein bißchen supspekt ist, für so kleine Kinder.
Kathie, Kinder verändern einfach alles - wie sehr, das kann man sich vorher überhaupt nicht vorstellen, auch wenn man denkt, man weiß in etwa, was auf einen zu kommt.
Ich kenne deine Gefühle sehr gut. Selbst jetzt, wo Mira ein bißchen älter ist, geht es mir manchmal noch so. Aber vieles wird auch einfacher, wenn sie älter sind.
Warte mal, in ein paar Tagen geht es dir sicher wieder besser!
Big hug,
Britta
Merry Christmas Kathie.
I hope the big man with the white beard brings you time, rest and the sleep you so deserve.
Happy holiday.
:)
Aww, feeling for you Kathy... I am much the same... tired and lonely. Being a SAHM is not the most glamourous job but I guess its worth it in the end. Chin up and have a great christmas.
That's such a lovely photo of you and Jamie... I love your new hair style!
Alex's first photo with Father Christmas ended up being a 'family photo' as well!! He was petrified! Whereas Daniel thought he was a crack up and refused to get off his lap LOL!
I hope it's only a short scrapping break... sometimes it's just what you need.
Have a wonderful Christmas.

Lonely. No we can't have that..... we ARE going to catch up Miss Kathie. I am loving your SSDT work. It was a case of Ohhh and Ahhh with the last layout. Beautiful.

Well....Kathie...even if Jamie didnt like the man in the suit...you look absolutley gorgeous tucked up beside him....
...and just on a personal note...I hated being a SAHM Mum....I was lonely and unmotivated....so Ive nearly always worked...Im far happier...I dont think it at times...but I dwell if my minds not occupied.
You may not have met 'your' scrapping goals this year...but Kathie your work is absolutley stunning and always first class.... take a break and return feeling refreshed.
Happy holiday to you...and have a very Merry Christmas

Hi Kathie,
You can NOT give up scapping all together as you are FAB!!! please read "Silent Nights" by DR Brian Symmons it will help you understand Jamies sleep cycle and how you can make it soooo much better, most librarys have it, good luck and merry christmas

Hey Kathie!
I reckon it's an ADORABLE photo regardless of a smile-less Jamie!!!
BIG hugs to you - wishing you and your family the BESTEST Christmas and new year and hopefully come the new year - you'll feel like scrapping (and blogging!!!) again!!! I'd miss seeing your gorgeous work!!!
Ali :o) xoxo
Still a fantastic photo Kathie!
Have a wonderful and relaxing Christmas, and hope you catch up on some of that sleep - hey, if any consolation, I'm up from 5am too, sometimes I get to sleep in till 6! lol
