I am a little worried that I have sent myself along the track of another obsession!!

Hi Everyone
Well, another week has whizzed by super fast .. .. and sees my crafty stash starting to dwindle and get packed away slowly but surely (boo hoo)!
I am already starting to feel serious withdrawal symptoms approaching and know that eventually I will be left with hardly anything to play with.. .. .. .. and who knows how long it will be before it all gets unpacked again because there will be lots for us to do once we move.
Perhaps I am going to need to put an "emergency crafty fix kit" together to pull out when the withdrawal symptoms get too much to handle LOL!!!
Hopefully soon we will have our actual moving date .. .. .. or am I going to see the Spring flowers in my garden appear for the last time? I won't be sorry if I do though because it is a lovely sight. Especially the bluebells. I love those. I was hoping the new "house of hearts" couple would have the pleasure of seeing all the bulbs break into flower, but the first daffodil is getting ready for opening .. .. .. so perhaps that treat is meant to be mine.
But anyway, yesterday I had a little crafty play, which culminated in me having Christmas card number 14 to add to my collection and take over to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge where the theme this time is "Out on a Limb" .. .. .. which is basically things you find on a tree at Christmas time.
So I have gone with what is probably my favourite part of Christmas .. .. Christmas lights .. .. ..
This used:
Die Set: Lawn Fawn "String of Lights"
Sentiment: Julie Hickey "DS-DE-1020 Christmas Border A6 Stamp Set
Lots of Glitter Card Snippets

Still time to play along if you fancy going "out on a limb"!

Time is running out on this challenge so I had better run and link up fast .. .. ..
Have a good week, and many thanks for everyone's lovely comments on my previous post.Mine has been brilliant because we got the news from the hospital yesterday that we have been waiting for .. .. .. for what has felt like an eternity,
No more treatments, no more tests, no more injections, and no more oncology appointments for six months. Woo hoo!!! I now just have to hope that my appetite returns and I start to significantly gain some weight .. .. .. otherwise I am back in 3 months.
.. .. but for now I can return to where I am truly happy .. .. .. the amazing and super lovely subject of crafting and blogging, which is where I am always super happy.
