I have been very quiet late due to the fact that we were away for our summer holidays. We just came back and I thought I'll give you a bit of how we celebrate Christmas in South Africa. In a sense it is totally different from the Northern Hemisphere, since we have temperatures between 28°C & 40°C. Here, Christmas is in the middle of our summer school holidays and most people are on holidays, with friends and family and many of them next to our beautiful coast. They do celebrate it, like this little penguin from Digi Darla on the beach. The papers are from my stash and I used a Cuttlebug emboss folder and Spellbinder diecuts.

Thank you for your presence in life!
