Merry KISSMAS Everybody !

Merry Kissmas and Merry Christmas to each and everyone ! May your hearth be warm , your food be plentiful and your blessings many !

From our house to yours ! Joy to the season and count your blessings !

And the countdown begins .................

 It is hard to believe that the jolly man in the red suit comes in so few sleeps  ! I think I can say I am ready craft wise , the gifts are wrapped and the tree is up ! I have to get out and buy some groceries yet but it is still too soon for the fresh stuff so I will postpone that for a few more days . Unfortunately this Christmas may be a little stressful as well as a lot of fun . DH is not well again and has spent more time at home in bed then at work . He is frustrated as am I but we just take it one day at a time . Chrones and Colitis are not a fun disease at any time but when you are stressed it is even worse . We have a few things happening that are causing the stress right now ...... and none are in our control .

 So while DH sleeps and watches his TV while he is awake , I have managed to make a few more cards .... and do some baking ( something I seem to only do at Christmas now ! ) . I had a project I had hoped to get done for DH for Christmas but with him home , it isn't going to get done as he has a habit of walking in my room and piering over my shoulder to see what I am doing !!!!  Maybe I will make it a New Year's gift for him as he HAS to fly down and see his Mother as she isn't well and it is something he HAS to do . we will not be spending New Year's together but it is important that he goes down .

  Here are a few of the last minute cards I have made ........

  I hope everybody has a wonderful pre-Christmas week and find time to RELAX and enjoy the season and those around you !

JUST MAGNOLIA # 83 - Sketch week

  This week over on Just Magnolia   the challenge was to use this sketch

I flipped the sketch and here is my take !

Tilda is actually very " pearly " as I used SMOOCH pearling ink on her .... She really does shimmer ...... STICKLES Icicles are on the snowflakes and " icicle " strip . Red bells are tied on the gold thread .

Thanks for looking and happy creating !
