What are you all up to over the weekend? I'm hoping to do some more Christmas cards, I've done quite abit Christmas shopping so far-mainly online due to still getting over my bad chest-6 weeks its taken. The good news is I've got my voice virtually back-whoopee.... 
The bad news is I fell over our dog hunter and hurt my ribs... whoops. Hubby picked me up from the floor. Gosh I wish I bounced like children tend to. 
Oh well onwards and upwards.
Take care everyone and thank you again for popping by and being so supportive.

Sorry I've not been around much but I've been down with a chest and throat bug so been on antibiotics and steroids.  
It's been very peaceful for my family as I haven't got much of a voice still.
 The joys.... Hope to get some more of my christmas cards done at the weekend. Stay cosy.
Thanks for all your lovely comments as always.

Smile.....

Hello,

Apologies for being late in posting but I'd scheduled my card for the wrong date..... whoops. 

It's the 1st of October so it's time for a new challenge over at:

Sparkles Forum Christmas
Jane has chosen the theme of:
'Make us laugh'
which was a challenge for me but I managed to use the words from an Indigo blu stamp and a 'From the heart' digital stamp.  These birdies still make me smile. I also used a 'John from next door' bauble embossing and die cutting folder. My hubby had the idea to put snowflakes in the baubles-I'm sure he's a secret crafter ha ha.....
