Happy Christmas Everyone

Wishing you all a very happy christmas & many thanks for comments & support throughout the year, also for christmas cards sent to me.

I've managed to get my outside tree up at last & just finished wrapping, it isn't half sore on the old knees.
I've added a pic of finished bathroom & some socks for my son I managed to finish in time.
Have a lovely christmas

Son's new job

As I said earlier my son has started a new career, this is him in his new uniform.
 

Last two cards

Hi all, sorry I've been missing for a while but lots going on as well as christmas, I finished my nail course & passed the exam, bathroom is just finished as there were one or two problems to be fixed, my son started a new job & unfortunately we had two bereavements recently, so lots of things put on hold, today thankfully got all the presents delivered & finished my cards, just one more holly wreath to do, these were held up due to the awful weather we've been having.
These are very similar, well almost the same, for two babies.

On to the last cards for this year:

I've used FF papers & paper pierced the bauble as I just can't get it to colour well.
Bella on bauble stamp is coloured with promarkers & seam binding  to trim.

I hope you are all organised & have a lovely Christmas

New bathroom in progress

Ill be spending lots of time away from home, every room is chaos, I'm in the process of having a new bath/shower room, & because I changed my mind half way through, the tiler had to postpone me for another week, at least I have my floor down & one wet wall & a working shower, but no door,toilet or H/W basin, I wish I'd thought to take a pic of the original bathroom, never mind it's gone now.




Some pics of the progress, the white tiles don't show very well they are basket weave, & I should have them fitted next week (pic is from showroom)

LOTV CHO

I got this stamp at the secc & wasn't sure if I'd manage all the little bits but with a lot of patience this is my first proper colouring for 6months, it's for my friend Allison's birthday on the 30th, we are going to see Calendar Girls then, I hope it's just as good as the London show, there's a good cast so it should be OK.

Here is the card;
I've used promarkers, they are the new softer shades
Spellbinders Lacy Ovals
Roses from WOC
Buttons were a free gift don't remember where from, but they were perfect.
MS leaf punch
crystal stems HC
Basic Grey DP
I feel at least I've made a half decent card, first for a long time, hope it continues as I have lots of Christmas stuff piling up, I now just need to find the time!
Have a great weekend

some christmas "cards"

I'm making a selection of hanging cards for close family as they are quite heavy & won't need posting, just thought it would be something a bit different.
Here's a selection of some finished, I'm going to make all different colours to suit each person, well that's the plan.
Thanks for looking & coming to visit.
