Last post for 2012

Hi there

I've finally got this post ready!  For the last post of 2012 I've done a review of the various catalogues we've had starting with Sale-A-Bration, the old catalogue, Autumn/Winter Mini, Holiday mini and finally the current catalogue.  I hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane.
