Hi Everyone
Well I had a lovely night out last night .. .. a really magical evening.
We went out with my Auntie and Uncle for our annual special Christmas celebration. It was extra special last night because as we travelled to the restaurant it started to snow. During the course of the evening it continued to snow, and snow, and snow and snow!! We sat eating our meal with the Christmas tree, Christmas decorations and lights with loads and loads of huge snowflakes falling .. .. .. which we could see through the windows.
Of course reality hit when we had to leave .. .. I couldn't believe how much had fallen during the course of the evening.
Just before we left most guests were looking out of the patio doors in wonderment at the huge expanse of fresh unspoilt snow with Christmas lights shining on it. One young chap was daring himself to go outside and make a snow angel .. .. I egged him on a bit and said "if you don't, you daren't" .. . .. he laughed and replied "please don't dare me .. I am weak where dares are concerned". But he never did it .. .. after all he was wearing his best clothes!! LOL!!
Anyway, here I am with my entry for this week's Penny Black Saturday Challenge where this week they want to see you stamp on anything but white card.
