FROM OUR HOME TO YOURS

Hi Everyone

Happy Friday .. .. and happy start to the weekend!!

Don't you just know that it is going to be manic around the shops the next two weekend!!  LOL!!

Well manic or not I am braving them tomorrow in the hope of finishing off the buying of Christmas gifts.  As long as they have some decent Christmas tunes playing in the shops then I will be happy.  Not too many gifts left to buy .. .. and I know what I want to get for most so hopefully it won't be too painful .. .. other than to my little bank balance.

I have warned hubby that we are off out early because we have a lot to cram in.  Not just shopping but delivering of presents and then a lovely pre-Christmas celebration with friends in the evening.  

Ooooooo.......I love Christmas!! 

Anyway here is tonight's Christmas card (don't worry you will be getting a break from seeing them soon .. .. but I will still be quietly making them behind the scenes ready for Christmas 2013!!!)




This used:

Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Heartfelt Christmas Sentiments"
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat "Christmas Scripts" and "Colour Collection Snowflakes"
Stampin' Up Punch:  Mitten Builder 
Martha Stewart Punch:  Glacial Snowflake
Go Kreate Die:  Concentrics Frilly Squares #3
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Glamour Dust
Ribbon from my stash box

I will apologise now for using Pink Petticoat papers "yet again" .. .. but I printed and cut lots out and there is still plenty left in my basked that I need to use.  Far too lovely to just abandon to my snippet drawer(s)!!!!!!!!

So that is me for today.  Time to go and compile that shopping list for tomorrow.  

No crafty shops where I am going but there is the lovely lady on the market with her gorgeous ribbons and buttons.  It would be rude not to pay her a visit!!

Hopefully I will find time at some point tomorrow to catch up with you .. .. but if not you know that I am being held hostage by one of Santa's helpers for looking far too cheerful amongst the crowds of grumpy shoppers!!

Have a lovely weekend, whatever you are doing.

Love
