Good morning to you and i can hardly believe its Friday again already. I don't feel i've accomplished much this week, and once again im apologizing for the lack of blogging. I have barely been on line this week, maybe an hour or two first thing in the morning (before anyone gets up) but thats it. Sorry if i havn't been to visit you and left a comment, im hoping to be back on track towards the end of next week. I have finally started the wrapping, and im hating every single minute of it! Hubby says its because i have brought too much, but i have to diagree this year we have cut back, but there are more smaller items which are so fiddly to wrap!
Well I have finally finished every single christmas card, yes horray!!!!!! i will take a short break from them before starting for next year, because i am determined to be more organized in 2009!These are a few of the last cards i made, i am really a bit of a traditionalist but have enjoyed using these more contemporary colours this year. I adore this particular paper pack, which i have actually used up now.
My latest funky kits stamps arrived yesterday but i havn't had time to play with them, i will stamp up a few images and then put them to the side for next years cards.
Have any of you been tempted by the new Pollycraft stamps? i have to say i gave in yesterday and ordered several, im hoping they will turn up today so i can have a play with them over the weekend. I just adore Paulas gorgeous little elves. How talented she is!
I must take a moment to thank each and every one who has sent me a lovely card this year. There are so many talented ladies out there, im totally overwhelmed by your talent. I have tried to email each and everyone individually but if i have missed you i apologise, and take the time to thank you now.
I have just rememberd one person i havn't emailed yet, and thats Nikki, thank you Nikki for the gorgeous card love the reindeer, and next year im doing the same as you!
Well this is a snap of my main christmas tree. Not so pleased with it this year as couldn't get the decorations balanced. I will post one of the black and white tree in the conservatory on my next post.I will be posting again over the weekend as i will be offering some blog candy. Just waiting for the stamps to arrive before i post it. So as they say, watch this space!!
Hope you enjoy your day, i have the school concert tonight and as well as some wrapping i need to pop to the craft shop to add some bits to my blog candy. Catch up with you all later. Hugs Linda x
