Christmas 2012

Morning!  The television was so rubbish last night that I popped upstairs to the craft room and did some creating.  There are still a lot of Christmas challenges on the go so here's the first one for this year!  Pink Petticoat have a sale on just now so a few things fell into my cart.  I was itching to use them so this was a perfect 'excuse'.  Today I'm going to get the house back to normal and the Christmas decorations packed away for another year.  It seems to have gone very quickly this year but I have to say, a good time was had by all.  Hugs x

I got the idea for this card from one of my fav bloggers Jacqui of The Cats Whiskers.  Thank you once again from your inspiration Jacqui and while I don't profess to be anywhere as talented as you, I'm quite pleased the way this card turned out.  This one will have to be for someone special this Easter.

I may not be around very much over the next couple of weeks as my granddaughter is coming to stay as it's school holidays again.  We hope to go to the cinema to see Hop, go to the Science Museum and have a day shopping in Glasgow.  My poor wee legs will be worn down to the knees.
