Hi Everyone
I hope you are having a lovely weekend.
The London Kids are well excited. They picked their keys up from the estate agent today and from there were going to stock up on decorating supplies and begin the "makeover". They have some good friends helping them so the phrase "many hands make light work" will hopefully prove true.
They sent me a message to say they had got the keys in their hands and surprise, surprise, the estate agent had also given them a bottle to use for celebration purposes! I thought that was a lovely touch. That has certainly never happened to us and we have moved house a few times!!
Christmas is the order of the weekend here, so here is a little make which uses another pre-owned Ebay purchase that dropped through my letter box yesterday:
This used:
Image: Penny Black "4014K" Hand-mailed
Sentiment: Computer generated using fonts "Georgia" and "Hobson"
Backing Papers: First Edition "Vintage Noel"
Martha Stewart Punch: Traditional Scallop
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
X-Cut: Corner Rounding Punch
ProMarkers and chalk
Diamond Stickles
Glamour Dust
Snowflakes from the snowflake box
Ribbon, holly berries, cord and eyelet from my crafty stash box
My creation is also for entering into the Penny Black Saturday Challenge where the theme this month is "All Wrapped Up" .. .. in terms of coats, hats, scarves, gloves etc.
So that is my share for today (still not sure that hedgehog is going to be able to reach and get that special envelope into the post though LOL!!).
Lots of Christmas decorations appearing around and about us here .. .. some people are certainly far more organised in that department than I am that's for sure.
