Wednesday January 1st 2014
Happy New Year to you all, on this first day of January 2014. But before I carry on with looking forward, I want to take a look back at the last Scavenger hunt of 2013. Joining in with Suzie at Madewithlove here are my December Scavenger hunt photos.
I found some of them quite tricky as I was trying not to associate them all to Christmas- But in the end I gave up and went with what I could find- Not my best efforts but I'm glad I stuck at it. I love doing the scavenger hunts and am already looking forward to continuing them in 2014.
Religious Icon
Not sure if this fits the criteria, but my little Nativity scene was the first thing I thought of. I've had this since 1989 when I bought part of it at a local craft fair- I was a student nurse at the time and could only afford Mary, Joseph and Jesus. The next year I added to my collection and also the year after. I never did manage to complete the scene- My Three Wise Men were later additions courtesy of tree decorations from Marks and Spencers!

ReplyDeleteThanks. Hope the new year is good for you:)
DeleteThank you so much for taking part in the scavenger hunt over the past year. I always enjoy seeing your photos. I really like shiny, window display, and movement. Greenthumb
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting - looking forward to more of the same in 2014:)
DeleteSuper photos! I was interested in your Cumberland recipe books since I was born in Carlisle ~ although immigrated to Canada many years ago. Sweet story about your nativity set ~ all the food, including lunch and cakes, look delectably delicious! The movement photo of your class is perfect for the category. A very Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you, and a Happy new year to you. I'm Wigton born and bred (well technically Carlisle hospital) and the recipe books belong to my Grandma. I love looking at the old WI books, they always have such interesting stuff in them. Nice to say hello to a fellow Cumbrian:)
DeleteI look forward to seeing what you find in 2014! xx
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the next treasure hunt:)
DeleteWhat beautiful looking cakes, I wonder if they taste as good as they look?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
They look very sweet don't they- I'm sure I would pile on the calories just looking at them!
DeleteA lovely set of photos. Those cakes look delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks- very sweet and sticky cakes:)
DeleteHappy new year to you, Amanda. Loved your interpretations as always and those cakes are amazing! x
ReplyDeleteHappy new year to you too:)
DeleteHi Amanda! I'm with Eileen ~ those cakes made my mouth water! Yum! And your photos are lovely! Your classroom looks so bright and cheery! It made me a little homesick for my former classrooms ~ retired teacher ~ couldn't help it! I am enjoying sharing your world!! All the best to you in 2014!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comments-I'm sure you'll get to see a little more of my classroom at different times if you tune in- there's always something going on:)
DeleteThe baubles are really lovely!! Love your kids dancing!! X
