JINGLE ALL THE WAY

Hi Everyone

Happy Wednesday.

I hope life has been being kind to you and if not that things soon turn around.

We had a fabulous weekend celebrating our son's birthday and hearing all about their holiday.  Sadly as suspected their excursion didn't involve them seeing the Northern Lights.  Their photographs showed just the tiniest speck of light on a big black background .. .. that was as good as it got.  But thankfully they could laugh about it.

They are now back home and we are already looking forward to the next time we will all be together .. .. which will be Christmas! That is going to come around very quickly now that November is within touching distance!!!!

I am happy to say I am actually starting to feel like I am slowly getting "back on track" with life again .. .. .. after a rather hectic few weeks.  Mum is much improved, which has helped settle my brain enormously and all of my wedding work is waiting for "happy couples" to get back to me with their signed off proofs or next instructions .. .. so Christmas is once again getting a much needed look in.

I started today with a card for taking over to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge where the current theme is "Jingle all the Way".




This used:

Image:  Just part of Penny Black "2238K" Jingle All The Way!
Sentiment:  Computer generated
Backing Paper:  The Lovely Studio "Jingle Bells Book Print"
ProMarkers
Ribbon
Glossy Accents
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and that is it .. .. making my total number of Christmas cards made this year 40 .. .. and another nice flat one for easy posting.

Enjoy your evening.

Catch you again soon

    So glad that your mom is beginning to improve. Elder care is such a worry, isn't it. Your card is gorgeous and I love the little hedgehogs dancing with the jingle bells. Thanks for playing along again, Jules, always so good to see your card in the gallery, Jo x

    Glad you had a fabulous weekend with family Jules. To bad your son didn't see the Northern Lights-that would have been amazing to see I'm sure. I would love to see them too myself! lol Glad they had a good laugh about not being able to see them except for a tiny speck of light on a photograph. Maybe next time. Glad things are calming down for you as well and that you mum is much improved. Yes, November is knocking on the door isn't it?! Christmas will definitely be here before we know it. Your card is adorable! I love those little hedgies with their jingle bells. Too sweet! I also love how big the sentiment is to fill up that space. Love the snowflakes around the sentiment too. So cute! Hugs, Brenda

    What a lovely and fun card, I love those Penny Black characters ! I'm so glad, that your mother is better, it must be a relieve. Yes, Christmas is coming soon, but I think that I have already enough Christmas cards, so one item less on my 'to do list'. :))) All the best, Enny
