A Few Christmas Gifts ............

Hi all, I hope you are well and enjoying a nice Christmas break. I'm going shopping with my Mum in Law which I know I will enjoy as she great company.

I have a few photos to share today of a few gifts I got for Christmas.  The clock was from my Mum and Dad and my sister.  I choose the clock from a little shop at the top of the Shambles in York. I've been looking at these clocks for a few years now as we go every year so this year I decided I had to have one.  Kindly my mum and sister paid for it as my Christmas present and I love it!  

The second present is from my mum and is some teaspoons with teacups and teapots on. I have thing about teapots and teacups even though I don't drink tea lol!

The last present is a gorgeous Cath Kidston cup that I got from a friend

I did get some lovely craft goodies too so I will be back to show them another day!

Thanks for stopping by.

Crafty Ribbons Challenges ..............

Hi all and happy Thursday to you! I have my crafty ribbons DT make to share with you today and our theme for you this time is 'Christmas Ribbon and Dies'  I have used some stunning new ribbon called Merry Christmas Baubles and some beautiful Scarlet lace which are both from new Christmas Charm on my embroidery hoop.  I used a die to cut the flower on my hoop out of felt. If you have not tried cutting felt with your dies I would urge you to give it a go as it cuts like butter with most dies!

I have also used some gorgeous buttons on my hoop.  The heart button is from the pastel hearts pack and you can see the spotty button here.  I hope you will come along and join in the challenge this time!

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone and happy Friday to you! It's time for a new challenge over at Winter Wonderland and our theme for you this week is 'Christmas Flowers'  I thought I would get out a Sue Wilson die I brought last year and finally put it to use on some gift tags.

A Christmas Card ...............

Hi everyone, I hope you are well.  I'm on a mission to get on with more Christmas cards at the moment.  I want them all done before December so that I can then sit back and enjoy the Christmas period rather than running round like a headless chicken well that's the plan anyway!

This one is for my niece and I will put the insert in and write it out before it goes in my box!  

I used the most gorgeous coloured digi from Polo in Scarf  from Pink Gem on my card along with some beautiful lace from Crafty Ribbons, a wooden snowflake that I painted and glittered and some papers from 'My Minds Eye'. 

I would like to enter my card into the following challenge:

Natalie and Amy - Christmas

Winter Wonderland Challenge .............

Hi everyone, I hope you have had a good week.  Well that's my working week finished, I'm going for a run first thing this morning, then to the Pop Up cafe in my village for coffee and cake followed by some food shopping and hopefully some crafting later this evening!

Our challenge at Winter Wonderland for you this week is 'Festive Food' so I thought that would be a great time to scrap the photos from our Christmas dinner this year.  

We have a fantastic sponsor this week who is:

and they have a £10 voucher for this weeks lucky winner.

Get Your Skates On .................

Hi everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the weekend.  I have a Christmas card to share with you today, to show off some of the gorgeous new Christmas ribbons from Crafty Ribbons. This beautiful ribbon was the inspiration for this card and I thought they would go just right with the ice skates die. 

The ribbons are from the Classic Christmas ribbon - swirls and trees.

I thought I would also show you a picture of Grace already in her school uniform for her first day back at school in Year 2.  She did make me laugh as I asked her how she felt about starting year 2, well she said not very good as I'm going to have to do more work!

I'm off to a 80's music festival tomorrow, I have my leg warmer and a fluorescent yellow top and bright pink pumps!   I think I will fit in well!

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
