Hand crafted christmas cards received

I really enjoyed making my own christmas cards this year (see my makes for pics) but I have enjoyed receiving hand crafted cards from others even more.

Bottom to top: Thank you Maritrez (card and ATC), lozabeth, Freehartz, littleme, partygirl and last but not least Barbara19 (card and adorable reindeer charm)

Thank you ladies they are fab.

Christmas is Coming!!!

I love this time of year and as usual couldn't wait to put up our christmas tree.

Here's a pic of our lovely tree - work has been manic lately and I have been working loads of extra hours (hence why I haven't updated on here in ages1) so it's great when all the christmas lights are on and i'm snuggled up in my chair watching TV!

It's even better now (after 16months of waiting) to have my gas back on and have a lovely warm house and the ability to use my oven and hob!!
