Office Party

We all went out for a Christmas dinner yesterday, it was brilliant, we don't get much time to socialise but our boss took us all to dinner oh yes including my wonderful man Chris.

It has been a very busy year and it was lovely to finish it off with a meal and a good old chin wag.

I did a panoramic photo of the motley crew after stuffing their faces.

If you click on it you will get a closer view.

Two likely lads, Chris my other half and Jim our Artist

myself and Jonathan, our IT wizzkid.

All in all we had a lovely time.

Lil Ballerina

I thought I would have a break from the Christmas cards and get out my cuttlebug and my dies and make a pretty embossed card.

Lil Ballerina by Mo’s Digital Pencil fit the bill perfectly, I just love her chubby legs.

The flourish dies are by My Favorite Things the silk ribbon from Ribbon Carousel and the drop charm is from Wholeport 

Coloured with Copic markers

Ice Family

 

Oh I love this little Ice family, jolly, fat, icy and adorable.

Ice Family is a Fairydoodles design by Teddybo another of her pencil drawings which are a dream to colour. My papers and sheer ribbon are from Ribbon Carousel 

They look so snug in their winter coats, hats, scarfs and mittens.

I think each morning is getting colder and colder, I even drove to work with a hot water bottle on my knee one morning, you can see the road glistening and yet they still drive like maniacs, I see an accident most mornings on my way to work, really folk come on…. do you really think it would be a Merry Christmas for your family if you hurt yourself or worse.

Stay safe and have a very Merry Christmas.

I’m having a half day today, Hairdressers is calling me and then Friday is our Christmas party then I’m free until 7th January whoop whoop.

Make your own Chocolate Place Setting–Santa's Sleigh

I stumbled upon this idea tutorial for a Christmas Sleigh gift and thought it would make the most fabulous place settings for the Christmas dinner table.

Well who doesn’t love chocolate? Not many that's for sure.

****UPDATE****

The tutorial video can now be viewed on either my YouTube page here https://youtu.be/7QrUrqJPmPM 

or on a more recent page of my blog here http://www.jakheath.com/2020/12/make-your-own-chocolate-santa-sleigh.html 

The idea for the place setting only came when I gave my daughter a peek at what I was making for Jack and she cried “I want one too Mam” so what was once to be only two or three soon became eight that I needed.

I ran out of bits for my place setting so I still have 1 left to complete but I was itching to show you all.

Aren’t they sweet? (pardon the pun) I even found some little chocolate Santa’s to drive the sleigh.

As you can see we have candy canes, KitKat, miniature Cadbury chocolate, Kinder bars, chocolate coins and in the adult ones Dime Bars. I tied it all together with ribbon from Ribbon Carousel 

Come on get out those glue guns and set to work on a treat to remember at the Christmas dinner table.
