White Valentine

Well, well, there goes my first and only resolution - not to be posting at the weekend!!!  I didn't post yesterday as Mr C and I went to visit my aunt.  Unfortunately she has another break in her back and has to go to see the Consultant on Tuesday. She was in fine spirits though and we had a lovely time with her.

I'm having a lazy day today.  Mr C was working till midday and is now having a sleep as we are off out tonight for a meal with all his cousins.  

Hope you all have a good weekend.  Hugs xx

Santa Claus

Wow, what a beautiful morning, the sun is shining and it's mild, such a change from the cold wind and very heavy rain we had last night.  After my shopping trip with my daughter yesterday I thought I'd have a lazy day so I'm busy making the last of my Christmas cards, but I don't think it feels Christmassy ... I should be careful what I wish for!

The angle at which I've taken this photo makes all the lines look wonky but they are OK in real life, I promise!  Hugs x

Oooooops, I got a very nice ticking off from Mandi at Less is More - and rightly so!  I wish I'd read what's on the page and not what I think it should be then I'd get things correct!  The challenge was not only to use a Sentiment but also it was to be One Layer only.  When I read the comment I popped back to the craft room and did a card that goes by the rules!
