My last batch of cards

Hi Friends

This is my last batch of cards for this year. It has been quite manic here as I'm sure you all have experienced too. Every year I say it will not be so mad as the previous year, but it always is, why don't I ever learn!!

Anyway these are the last batch of cards I made for hand delivery around the family, I hope you like them.

The ones for Evelyn & Phoenix were cards cards I found on line. Phoenix is known as our foxy little man and Evelyn was always associated with woodland animals as her bedroom was decorated in the woodland theme, especially the hare and became too real with the message " I love you to the moon and back" I just had to add something to them to make it more personal. I made them a night sky and added some more snow and a big moon and obviously Santa and his crew.


Here Goes!

 

Well that's it for this message. I hope all your decorative activities are going to plan.

Thank you all for popping in, see you before the big day. X

Love & hugs

1st handmade wreath

Hi My Friends

My night out with Claire was hilarious, mother in law Erica came too. We arrived about 15 minutes late due to handing Phoenix over to his dad and also very heavy traffic.

When we arrived the instructor had already shown how to attach the moss, also all the tables had been taken up and all the good foliage had gone too they were like vultures, they were determined to get their £35 worth. We eventually got squished onto the end of a long table and because of the time to find us some space we had what battered foliage was left. Claire did find a lovely branch of pale blue thistles but when Claire wasn't looking the couple of WI women opposite took it and shared it between them. At the time I didn't see this but Erica did so when they weren't watching Erica pinched their sprigs of rosemary. For the rest of the evening these two ladies would not drop the subject that their rosemary had mysteriously gone missing staring straight at Erica every time they mentioned it. I'm so glad I was blissfully unaware of this but it did make us laugh on the way home. I said to Erica I've got a piece of rosemary in my wreath. She said so you took my last piece you tea leaf and Claire & I just laughed.

Anyway, before I put the wreath on the door today I put a few strings of beads to cover the bits we didn't manage to get. Next year we are going to have a wreath making session here at home with mince pies and a glass of wine. We'll raid the garden and see what happens next year. Well you have to have things to look forward to!!.

Here goes!!

 
Typical, excuse the holes in the door frame as our bell decided to fall off during the week.

I hope you enjoy putting your decorations up.

See you all soon

Love & Hugs
