This is the view from our sitting room window in snowy Scotland.  I was gonna hit the sales today but I don't think we'll be venturing out, in fact I don't think we could get the car down the drive.

The Stamp Man Awards

"There are no prizes for this event apart from the actual award.  What you have to do is enjoy taking time to look back on your crafting over the last year and pick something you have made that you are particularly proud of and feel was your best work of 2009."

Here is the card I like the best.  I don't like blowing my own trumpet as it's not my style but I was really pleased with this one when I'd finished it.

MERRY  CHRISTMAS
with love from Anne & George

I've Been Playing Again!

One of the blogs I follow has a lovely simple design with clean lines but still very striking.  Needless to say I can't leave things alone so have redesigned mine along the same style.  I'm a nightmare, even to myself.  It was after 11pm last night when I started playing.  Hope you like my new layout and I'll try to restrain myself for a while - with the exception of the header!  Hugs x

Gifts

Today is the last day of class until after the New Year so I've made some little gifts for 'my girls'.  I've had this template in my file for ages and can't even remember where I got it from but it came up trumps for this project.  I've popped in 'holiday' sized shower gel and body lotion and, phew, they fitted perfectly!
