This Months theme for the Blog Hop is A card with a little gift inside and Kerttu is our host and that is where the blog hop begins.

I decided to make a tea light gift card and boy did I have fun getting it right.
I used the Snowman digi image from Mo’s Digital Pencil for my project.

Two Peas in a Pod

We are on the last leg of having Jack stay with us as his Mam and Dad come back today.

I have to say Jacks vocabulary is amazing, isn't it amazing how not only do the have to remember each word but they also have to know in which way to use that word, yet here he is little rent a gob spurting out words in the right format and words that you wouldn't expect a three year old to know.

He is at that age that whatever Granda is doing he has to do and here he is proving my theory.

They were watching you've been framed a personal favourite of them both.

So now to prepare the Sunday roast ready for his Mam and Dad getting here.
