It’s been ages since I’ve been here and to be honest it’s been a refreshing little break, although I must apologise for not mentioning that I would be taking a little blogging hiatus.
I didn’t really plan to, but with Christmas, New Year and extended school holidays and everything that goes along with it, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying just hanging out and doing nothing in particular.
Except swimming. Lots of swimming, plus discovering new parks with the girls and generally having a lovely summer!
You may have noticed that my banner is back to normal and I am dressed in my usual Cameo Coral attire again and have done away with the Christmas hat, hence the title of this post.
Had I myself been wearing a Santa hat for two months, aside from an exceedingly itchy scalp, I’d have had the most atrocious case of hat hair you’ve ever seen.
Thank goodness for digi-me in all my bouffant and hat hair-less glory 
Despite not having been blogging, I have still been creating and gearing up for some fun stampin’ stuff in 2010.
I’ve been editing photos galore of some long-ago projects and will be sharing these in the next little while, as well as some newer stuff as well.
How about a little something to get the 2010 party started….?
My Christmas card designs for 2009!
You’ll notice I stayed well away from the Trendy Christmas Tree debacle of last year…
Forgive me for not adding in the materials lists for these cards – I may pop back in with that information, plus a little ‘how-to’ on the Christmas trees in the first cards, but I’m going to spend some reading time with my chickens before they pop off to bed.
What I will do is leave you with a little poll though, as it’s something that I’ve been thinking about a bit lately and thought I would throw the question out there, although possibly the Trendy Christmas Trees comment fest should warn me otherwise…
Anyways, here goes…
Do I waffle too much in my blog posts?
- No, I like the waffle, it's the highlight of my day (97%, 28 Votes)
- A bit, but I just scroll through it to get to the pictures (3%, 1 Votes)
- Yes, please get to the point sooner so that I don't get permanent and irreversible cramp in my scrolling finger (0%, 0 Votes)
Total Voters: 29

Yee hah!!!!! Happy dance happy dance happy dance!!! Bouncing in chair bouncing in chair bouncing in chair!!!!!
Not that I’m excited you’re back or anything.
Now, having voted in your little poll, I have to add that I don’t like the word waffle. Your posts are always entertaining, informative and just good plain fun. It certainly isn’t what I’d call waffle. Don’t change xxx
Aunty Mair! I was just WAITING for you to get here and knew you wouldn’t disappoint
Thanks for the sweet encouragement about my posts. I worry sometimes that I go on a bit, but so far that seems not to be the consensus
Hi Sarah,
Blogging is not just about seeing pics, its about relationship. If I just wanted to see pics I’d only live at Splitcoast. I love reading the ‘waffle’ as you put it.

Thanks Fi
I have really discovered a love for writing through blogging, but sometimes I worry that I do a bit too much of that and not enough about the stamping, which was the whole reason for this blog in the first place!
Thanks for your feedback
Howdy my Hat-Hairless Friend!!!!
You know…. well I’m not bad at the ol’ “waffle” myself (and No not the Brekie variety!!!) However, I will say that I will gladly and with a SMILE on my face continue to suffer from “scrollers cramp”. Love your cards, love your waffle…heheheh (sorry Aunty Mary!!!
) just luv ya to bits. Oooh and the Chrissy cards, well what can I say, but it is even more delicious in REAL LIFE!!!!
Can’t wait to get my next dose of scrollers cramp… bring it ON!!!!

Hey Karen!
Thanks for weighing in on the waffle debate
I’m glad to hear that it gives you a giggle!

LOL!!! You’re so funny!! I come here because of your funny, amusing, enlightening and ever informative posts created by a true wife, mummy and crafter!! If you didn’t woffle I’d get lost……….good gracious! I could imagine a conversation between you, me and fellow wofflers and to the “woffle ignorant” they’d run for the exit and yet we would cover a trillion topics and NOT get lost!!!
Ahhhhhh woffle…..I can’t converse without it 
Don’t change gorgeous…..now I must go and stop Miss 2 from de-robing…..again 
Note my woffle post
LOL!!
Well we can’t be losing you Ju, so waffle it is!
WELCOME BACK!!!
Who doesn’t love waffle? I love waffles! Especially with butter and golden syrup, and ice cream…. mmmmm… ok I’m just being silly. But I do love your waffling. Nice to have you back.
Now I’m HUNGRY!!
Glad to see you back again & keep the waffle coming – when it’s as entertaining as yours, it’s just fine by me.
Love your Christmas tree cards too. Such a clever idea to use the different strips of paper etc. Hugs, Di
Gorgeous Di
I had fun with those cards – glad you liked them. They’re nice and mass-produce-able, too which is always a bonus!
Heya Sarah…Happy New year and all that. So glad to see you back. Hope that new cameral of yours got a workout!! I made use of the Chrissy time too and am now blogging (finally). Love to continuing reading the waffle provided they are Diabetic friendly…as your waffle provides creative calories for us all!!! ooxx
My camera got a GREAT workout Lynda! Now just to scrap the results…
Creative calories – I LOVE that!
Beautiful, sweet, WONDERFUL SARAH!
Oh how sweet it is to have you back again (this sung with the cute little ditty… how sweet it is to be loved by you!)
I’m soooo happy that you took a break!! Oh we all need them sooo! It’s super easy to get bogged down and keep keeping people happy re posting and the like! It is however your so called waffling that i adore, the belly laughs that I receive just by reading! It is one of the best bit’s of my day to get a chuckle right HERE in Sarah Klass blogging land!!
And the comment about the HAT!! PRICELESS
Look forward to more soon!
Smiles and HUgs
Sharnee
Well I think that poll is done and dusted!
Yep what Aunty Mary said!!!!
Indeed!
Thanks all for your votes and comments. I feel less concerned now that my long-winded ramblings might have been a little irksome
Awwww, I missed the poll! Sarah, I LOVE reading your hilarious, warm posts (I’m not going to use the words ‘waffle’ or ‘ramblings’, because I devour every word and more often than not laugh out loud). Don’t hold back, please!!!!
