HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE EVERYONE
Woo hoo!!! My favourite day!!
I was up bright and early this morning as I needed to make one last Christmas card with my snippets before starting work in the kitchen.
It is a special Christmas card for anyone and everyone who may stumble across my blog today and also for all the lovely playmates who have joined me in my snippet challenge during the course of the year.
So I "DO" need to call a register this week. Wow!!!
I really thought everyone would be far too busy to be bothered about playing with their snippets. Thank you for keeping me company playmates.

I really thought everyone would be far too busy to be bothered about playing with their snippets. Thank you for keeping me company playmates.
Who came to play?
Well first up, bright and early, was Sarah .. .. who shared the most gorgeous male Christmas card which Sarah made for her husband. What a lucky chap!! I love all the backing papers used here and the fabulous star!!
Irene was the next playmate to arrive .. .. with her New York Diva!! What a fantastic card Irene shared with us all. It just reminded me of one of the old Vogue sewing patterns from years ago (showing my age there!!! LOL!!)
Next up was Sandra who is well ahead of the game and thinking about her thank you cards for after Christmas!! Sandra clearly feels she has been a good girl this year and is going to receive lots of presents she needs to say thank you for!! What fabby thank you cards they are too!!
The next share came from Carol who has been having lots of work done at home and now has a craft room that needs sorting .. .. which has reduced the amount of stash Carol has available to her to only her snippet collection. But I must admit Carol managed a fabby Christmas card nonetheless with a great sketch she has produced!!
Then last but by no means least was Di who has dragged herself into the playground to share her lovely make. I say "dragged" because Di has been poorly sick all week .. .. not good in the run up to Christmas .. .. but hopefully she is now fit and well again and ready to celebrate.
So only one make from me .. .. but you realise what this means don't you? I have made my first Christmas card ready for next year .. .. woo hoo!!!
Just one more week left for me in charge of the playground and just one more register to call so the playground keys are being passed along .. .. but who is taking them over?
Well your wait is over. The keys are going to my lovely blog buddy and regular snippet maker:
here you go Di .. .. here are your keys .. .. I hope you have as much fun as I have had this last year.
Next Sunday .. I will call my last register and reveal the extent of my snippets :-( and Di will be taking over. I know you are going to have a fabulous time with Di in charge .. .. she is a fabby blogger, who makes gorgeous projects and has a wicked sense of humour. You are all in for such a treat.
I will still be playing along with the challenge as I still have snippets to use up . ... surprise, surprise LOL!!!.
It just remains for me to wish everyone a really Happy Christmas.
Have fun and make some lovely memories.
Mwah!!!!

LOL! I LOVE the Snippet Keys, Jules!! That's too funny!! I'm glad to know the tradition will continue and that I get to see your snippet creations every week. Have a very very Happy Christmas and thank you so much for stopping in on my blog! Oh and PS: Your snowflake card is beautiful!! =D
Beautiful Christmas snippet make there Jules.
I think your newly appointed Caretaker will do just fine looking after the Snippet Playground next year.
Thanks for 2011 Snippet Year . . . I now go to my snippet drawers BEFORE cutting into fresh sheets of paper/card . . . so THANK YOU for knocking me into shape and getting me into good habits. xxxx
Merry Christmas and a very prosperous New Year.xxx

Happy Christmas Jules. I'm just taking a few moments before I start baking - and making the trifle - to thank you for allowing me to join in the fun this year - it's been an absolute pleasure getting to know you and be inspired by your beautiful cards. Today's card is no exception - gorgeous and I love the greeting. I'm so pleased to see it is Di who is taking over the snippet keys - she is, as you say, a fabby blogger. I may just manage a snippet make or two next week, once the big day is behind me, but just in case I don't, all the best for the New Year and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas. Elizabeth x
Really pretty card Jules. Merry Christmas dearie. Have a super time with your family and may I say your xmas tree and lights are fab.Off I pop to peel the veggies and round up the troups.Love Debbie x
Oh Jules, thank you for the sweet and quite undeserved things you've said about me being the new Keeper of the Playground Keys! It's been so much fun and you'll be impossible to follow in exactly the same inspired way but I hope I won't let you or The Snippeteers down. Stands solemnly to attentionin front of laptop with hand on heart - appropriately enough :)) - and recites the following - 'I hereby promise to do my duty as Snippets Playground Key Keeper to the very best of my ability'. Just hope everyone doesn't run away to pastures new, and that you do still keep showing your wonderful creations. Thank you Jules, from everyone, for all the inspiration and fun! Love, and Merry Christmas, Di xxx
Simply beautiful Christmas card Jules. I love the colors you used, gorgeous design too!
Hope you have a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2012!

I see the Naughty Pixie is going to be in charge. Very safe hands too, knowing Di!!
Your tree and lights are just gorgeous, Jules, thanks so much for sharing them. They all look so cosy.
I hope you have a really lovely time with your family over Christmas but find time to relax and I wish you a very Peaceful and Creative New Year.
Happy Christmas, Jules

Di again, I made a snippets card - whoop, whoop!! xxx
I've so enjoyed playing in the snippet playground - thank you for running it - and intend to support Di in the Pixie's playground for this coming year. Happy New Year, Jules (and I've now amended my crafty resolutions with a note about the hand over of the keys to Di - must have come on here earlier with my eyes shut because I hadn't realised that was happening - d'oh!! x
