Given in

And started to make my Christmas cards. I Love the Hero Arts winking Reindeer stamp and have seen a few cards with him on. I still have loads of old stash to use up so, he is the only new Christmas craft purchase.

Sorry this one came out a little blurry when i photographed it.

I am not the biggest fan of Christmas..the children are so much older now ..so it costs quite a bit. With them all having learning and other problems, the excitement of Christmas is always a little wearing ( to say the least!!).

Mum died at Christmas (12 years ago - two weeks after we moved into this house ) It was sudden and a shock.

We spent a Christmas or two visiting dad in hospital when he was so ill he didn't know us.

So please forgive me when i give a sigh of relief on boxing day :)

I will not be all humbug I promise..just looking forward to Spring and Summer.

Right , did mean to be so serious.....on to making some more cards and that chicken soup challenge .
