Hi Everyone
One day nearer .. .. .. and what a difference a day has made. Big leaps forward the in the House of Hearts Christmas preparation stakes .. .. and a few crafty makes too.
Still freezing cold but no snow .. .. though we have been threatened to be on the receiving end tonight/tomorrow!!! 10 - 15cms !!! Eekkk!!!
I don't really want any snow otherwise my big baby boy and his wife won't be able to travel to us for Christmas :-( - but I won't worry yet. There are a few more days to go until decisions need to be made (though I hope they have thought to get themselves some food in anyway .. .. just in case!!).
Here is my favourite make of the day .. ..
This used:
Image: Penny Black "1037K" Lovin' Flowers
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat
Backing Papers: My Mind's Eye
ProMarkers
Diamond Stickles
Home made card candy
Cord from the stash box
I have been banished to my craft room so that hubby can wrap my Christmas presents. We were supposed to be being good this year so he had better have kept to his word .. .. .. or else there will be trouble!!!!
Being banished to my craft room is certainly not as bad as when I was a little girl and I used to get banished to my bedroom for being naughty!!!! Bet you can't believe I was ever naughty can you? But I was .. apparently .. .. though of course I still say it was the others!! LOL!!!
Can you believe that after the day we had making Christmas labels the other weekend I now need to make some more .. .. everyone has been pinching them and I have none left. I can feel a batch of labels with origami trees and peel offs coming on.
Have a lovely evening everyone. I hope your preparations are going well.
Love

gorgeous image!!!...love the soft colours you have used...and the way you have created the squiggily stitching....I saw that on C&C the other week, but have not tried...you have done it perfectly. love the look it gives! Hugs Juls
Beautiful card Jules. Lets hope you don't get anymore snow. Sending you Happy Christmas wishes and a Joyous New Year. Annette x
As always these days I'm catching up with you Jules. Love your gorgeous Christmas tree, it's huge!!!! and so sparkly.
Hasn't it been cold!! Painfully so here today, apparantely it hasn't got above -9oC all day. It made your face hurt being outside. We only have a sprinkling of snow from the weekend, enough to look beautiful but not to be disruptive and no more forecast so I hope yours stays away too.
I love your cards and admire you for still crafting. I think I'm all crafted out at the minute. I've cheated and bought tags this year, yes I know...... but just couldn't face doing them. Hopefully the mojo will return in the New Year.
Anyway, if I don't get by again this week here's wishing you and yours a Very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful and Healthy New Year.
Hugs Lisax

Hi jules this card is loverly and a nice stamp as well that you have used. I like your colours Helen xxx
Hi Jules, wow what a fabulous card, love that image its so cute.
Yes I can remember being sent to my bedroom, to be honest I thought it was a safe haven until my dad got home. My girls used to run of to their room as soon as I raised my voice, to keep out of my way.
With love and hugs Shirleyxxxxxx
