and all that……..

I’m slowly getting there, Christmas shopping is officially a drag. Every year I’m going to start early and be prepared but it never ever happens.

Is it just me? I’m sure others are struggling too. Nobody seams to know what they want and each year just gets even more difficult.

My Mam is the tops this year as she told me straight away what she would like, easy peasy bought straight away with no fuss, just some surprises to sort out.

The worst to buy for is my eldest daughter Lauren, she hasn’t got a clue what she wants. Youngest daughter Natalie all done and dusted.

This year our Grandson Jack is getting a new coat, I would like a few surprise bits that he would enjoy but my Mam always got my girls new coats which helped me out immensely so I thought I would carry on the tradition.

I’ve started the humongous job of sorting out my craft stash, I really need to get my craft room organised, the heap on the desk just keeps growing that I fear I will be buried underneath it never to be found again.

Are you all done?

Bow Bells–Ding Dong Merrily on High

Today I’m sharing a card made with the Bow Bells Digi stamp from Just Inklined 

I used the Graph’It markers from Polka Doodles to colour this beauty.

Bells-: 1250, 3110, 0000

Bow-: 5210, 5220, 5245,

Pine Sprigs-: 8270,8260

I used German glass glitter on the cut out frame which was made on the Silhouette Portrait.

A few iridescent gems from Mei Flower and a bit of love to finish.
