Hi Everyone
Well the weather is definitely getting colder and colder with the threat of a very wintery weekend and possible snow!!!
That is just what I need for the weekend .. .. or is it? Oh I don't know!!!
The craft fayre my lovely Sis and I are doing on Sunday is being held at a local marina and all the stalls are going to be set up along the waterfront .. .. each in their own little marquee. It all sounds very magical and very Christmassy .. .. .. roast chestnuts and Christmas lights switch on by none other than Brian Capron .. .. (the TV baddie Richard Hillman who tried to kill his wife Gail by driving her into the canal !! Very appropriate).
Santa will be there with his Reindeer collecting letters from those who have been good (so I won't bother taking mine), mulled wine, fireworks .. .. .. .. and I am imagining .. .. .. very cold and frozen stall holders. I might have to see if I can find out my fingerless gloves and call the organiser and ask if we will be allowed to take a little heater!!
So will people turn out if the weather is really bad? .. .. I hope so.
Because it is so well advertised and going on all day and into the evening will I have enough stock if things go well?!?!? That is where the panic is coming in (along with the dread that I might get frost bite). My stock is disappearing elsewhere at the moment so I need a mega few days of production. I think it is time to grab my little box of images I have already coloured in for just such an occasion. If only I was an octopus!! LOL!!!
At least I have my DT work ready for next month and once I have finished stripping my Mum's kitchen of wallpaper I can knuckle down and hopefully be hyper creative. My lovely Sis and Mum have done most of the stripping already .. .. I am left with the "high up" bits. So if I do that in the morning the rest of the time will be creation time until I pack everything up ready on Saturday evening.
In the meantime here is a make that I am doing a few of in different colours ready for the weekend
This used:
Image: Digistamp Boutique
Sentiment: Unmounted Stamp Company "Merry Kissmas" (border strip computer generated)
Backing Papers: Funky Hand CD "Funky Seasons"
Nail Heads: Josy Rose
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Ribbon and Cord from the stash box
A super simple one .. .. but I like it!!
Right off to make a few more.
Have a lovely evening everyone. Sorry if I don't get to visit much between now and Sunday .. .. once again I am up against time .. .. but I will try my best.
If you let me know what you would like Santa to bring you I can let him know when I see him on Sunday!!! LOL!!

ReplyDeleteJules, keeping my fingers crossed for the weekend for you. We are driving down to my sister from East Anglia to Somerset on Friday night, so I need luck too I think with the weather expected to turn snowy. Great card, love the colours. x
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it's going to be a very magical event and snow will just add to the Christmassy feel, I don't think it will keep folk away. I don't envy you manning a stall all day though. Good Luck with it all.
ReplyDeleteHow do you get time to decorate as well, you are one busy lady.
I love your cute couple, it's a great card.
Hugs Lisax
