Lets Warm It Up a Little

Oh it’s been so cold and so dark this winter, don’t you think? I needed something fresh that would be sure to warm me up and I found it in Saturated Canary Digi’s.

Librarian is sure to warm the cockles of your heart.

I may do a Year in Review before the end of the year or maybe for New Years Day.

What I got for Christmas

So I got the usual smellies, money and nightware, scarf, Downton Abbey book, Chocolates, a beautiful framed photo of Jack and his brother Kyle a necklace, and a charm, which brings me onto what Chris bought for me.

Pandora Bracelet he even let me have it before Christmas, (spoilt for sure)

I have bought more charms with the money I got and the cup and saucer charm is to go on.

I then spoilt myself with a treat and although I’m not a drinker these are superb.

they are Irish Coffee ready made from Sainsberry’s, you just pop them in the microwave for 45 seconds, the first one I tried blew my brains and I was in bed by 10pm.

I’m sitting sipping another while I type this.

I think I did very well.

Lauren called today and asked me to have Jack for a couple of hours, boy his gob never stops. I did manage however to get 10 minutes peace when i put the cartoons on TV for him.

How To Take Down The Christmas Decorations

I’ve pondered over this, I normally take down the Christmas Decorations on January 1st, I expect that will be the same this year, however I’m going to make it an easier job this year.

It’s not just the taking down but it is the thankless task of packing them away and getting them back into the loft until the following year.

So here is how I’m going to do it this year, I’ve enrolled the help of Fairy 3 by Mo’s Digital Pencil I am also going to give you the chance of also having her to help you.

I’ve coloured here with the new shades in FlexMarkers by Letraset here is the New colour chart new colours are marked with a *

Christmas with the Heaths

Well we had a wonderful day, present galore. The master of the house Chris (don’t tell him I said that) made dinner and it was gorgeous, dinner was a typical bun fight where everyone tucked in.

My Mam enjoyed herself and we had the typical naff Christmas crackers with naff jokes and naff hats.

Everyone loved their place settings (Santa’s Chocolate Sleighs)

All Done for Jolly Saint Nick

Thank heavens that all of the wrapping is finally done. It was a bit of a marathon to say the least.

I think I make things worse for myself as I like 2 coordinating wrappers for each persons gifts as I think part of the joy is the beautiful wrapping.

As everyone is coming to mine for Christmas Dinner I realised that we needed an extended table, Chris went and got a piece of 4x 8 thick plywood and we have laid it over the top of our 6 x 3” table and Jack was first to try it for size.

So now it is all laid and ready for Old Saint Nick arriving, poor soul is going to get wet too as it has started raining.

All that is left for me to do is wish you all Seasons Greetings and hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Day.

Love at Christmas
