Your parents should be very proud of you shaker, but why wait until December? You deserve plenty of karma.

Weel folks I hope that you are all able to do the main idea if this thread and keep an eye on others and maybe they'll keep an eye on YOU....You never know what Mother Nature has planned for you.

On a slightly down note had to deal with a decesed person who had not been seen for 4 days, person who kept eye on them had been in Hospital themseleves,...................................... .it happens even if someone is looking out

Katex.....you must be a mind reader.....or very perceptive......I did all those things in her last birthday card in September......I also made her a copy of my Travel Journal from when we both went out to see my baby Sis in Oz......I put pictures of the places we visited so that the memories of the lovely, happy sunny times would be accessible every day. She says it is one of the best presents she has ever been given.....and tells me that she looks at it most days.......I was so pleased because it took me almost a year to complete and it is absolutely unique.

Wish I could cheer up a sis like that.:(

Spuggie, Mum and I went out to see my baby Sis......the book was done for Mum for her 78th birthday.......I'm not sure whether you meant you wished you could go out to Oz.....or do the illustrated Journal thing.....if it was the illustrated Journal thing......well, anyone could do it. It wasn't particularly clever.....it was just very pertinent to the time we had over there.....and it put the memories onto paper. When I asked Mum what she wanted for her birthday, she just said 'New legs'.....I told her that even Asda didn't sell new legs....unless she would settle for frog's legs. So the book was just a truly personal thing......I did buy her some stuff as well but I know that will be put in a drawer somewhere for best.....and will probably never see the light of day again.

Margaret I have an uncle and his family in South Africa I was thinking of putting something together on the computer the same way as you did with the journal and sending it over on CD/DVD for Christmas. They have been overthere 23 years and apart from letters and cards nothing really happens so the journal idea you had is ideal. Sure I could get my cousin to do one for the family up here with some video footage. Would be good for all.

And Spuggie, it is the true spirit of Christmas. Giving something that is truly personal, unique and that has had effort and thought put into it. I am sure they would love it.
