Tanya received her "Happy Birthday" and "Merry Christmas" presents back in September
These were a laptop computer, printer, and some cash ... and CLICK HERE for the details
Then Sunday 9th November 2008 arrived ... her 'true' birthday date
Tanya, Sharon, and a bunch of Tanya's friends went out for dinner to celebrate
Sharon doesn't mind 'early presents' BUT she can't let the actual day go past without 'doing something' !!
So we shouted Tanya her night out ... and gave her another small gift
Plus Brett gave her 'presents from the fridge' !! ......... all the details are below

Hi Tanya, and ...

The Present from Dad and Mum


The modern meaning of.. Candle Snuffer ..is an instrument used to extinguish burning candles
This is accomplished by smothering the flame with a small metal cup that is suspended from a long handle
By placing the cup over the candle you restrict the amount of oxygen around the candle
thus making the flame burn out due to lack of oxygen
The use of a candle snuffer helps to avoid problems associated with blowing hot wax
Candle snuffers are commonly used in homes and churches

Tanya is a lover of candles in the home and she uses them all the time
We knew she did not have a 'snuffer' and Sharon spotted this one in Essential Gifts at Smithfield Shopping Centre
Not quite the same as the antique-jewell-encrusted-solid-gold type shown above !! ... but it's very nice and Tanya liked it !!

The Presents from Brett

Brett was away working in Groote Eylandt over this weekend and Tanya decided to spend the two days at Brett's unit
This made it very convenient for the Birthday Dinner which was also at Trinity Beach as you will see further down the page
Brett left a few presents in the fridge for Tanya ... and these included ......

The photo opposite was taken with Sharon's phone/camera
She has used it a lot and they usually turn out pretty good ... but this one didn't!!
It was the only shot taken during the dinner ... so its been kept as a souvenir
I have also uploaded it in two black-and-white variations
