Winter Fairy

I’m hoping that this little one will blow the snow here for Christmas morning, I love a white Christmas, there is just something magical about it, I know Grandson Jack would love it, he wasn’t really old enough to know what is was last year when we had it so I would love to know his reaction to it now. I can remember tossing my head back and catching the snowflakes on my tongue when i was young and laying flat on my back waving my arms to make an angel print in the snow.

I used the Penny Black holly stamp and heat embossed with white detail powder then used pale blue ink to swirl over the top to create the blue haze, the ribbon is scrumptious and from the Ribbon Carousel I only used around a 3 inch piece of it and fastened a button to the middle, the lace ribbon holds its shape so was perfect for this.

Feeding the Reindeer and more

I spent the afternoon with my Monday afternoon with my Mam and what a treat we had, we went to the local garden center and they had the reindeer there and you were allowed to feed them, I couldn’t believe just how friendly they were.

I’ve added a short clip of them.

Feeding the Reindeer

Before we went out I took a hot beef sandwich from our local deli, my Mams cat could smell me coming I think and can you believe it gives you a paw when it wants what is on your plate? here it is here begging Mam for some beef.

Timmy’s Stocking–Made by my Daughter Natalie

You could have knocked me over with a feather when my DD Natalie asked if she could colour one of Mo’s images and make a card. Natalie has always been my judge when I push a card in front of her nose to check her reaction to it, I can tell instantly by her expression weather or not she approves but this is the very first time she has shown an interest in actually making a card herself, I have to say that I am very very impressed.

hi all, Natalie here, as my Mam mentioned earlier this is the first card I have made and I have to tell the truth I didn't realise how much work went into creating them (you crafters make it look so easy!). When I asked my mam if I could colour one of Mo's images I expected it to take ten minutes but boy was I wrong …after a lot of effort (and coaching from Mam) I had finally finished the colouring and was ready to make it into a card. I must admit the card didn't take long to put together once the image was complete and above is the final result.

As this is my first card I would love to hear your comments and criticisms and we have decided that on Christmas Eve we will pick a lucky winner from the comments for a spot prize.

“Come they told me par rop pom pom pom”

You sing it and I'll strum it.

Shall I Play For You and Snow Day by Mo’s Digital Pencil merged to make one image, I put the two together after seeing the children dancing in our town to the Christmas Music. It always makes me smile to see the little ones getting excited for Christmas.
