I'm late..... again!

I feel like the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland - I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date.....!  Not for the first time though lol! And I can't believe it's December 1st!  Oh my goodness, Christmas isn't just sneaking up anymore - it's rushing towards me at full steam!  The Advent Calendar went up last night.  I made a fabric one many years with little pockets for chocolate treats (and doggy treats - heaven forbid we leave Tilly the Dog out!).  I had thought this year that maybe they wouldn't be bothered about having the Advent calendar being as our two offspring at home are 20 and 15 years old. However, that suggestion was met with a look of horror - so out came the calendar and the chocolate!  Hey ho.  I just have a feeling that I still be getting it out and putting chocolates in even when they've left home and got their own homes....

And apologies for my absence around Blogland - a combination of decorating at home and being full of a stinky cold have somewhat reduced my crafting time or inclination lol!  Roll on holidays...

Anyway, it's time for a new challenge over at Joanna Sheen and this time it's a month-long challenge and all the DT taking part and the fantastic prize of £30 voucher to spend in Joanna's store!  The theme for this special challenge is 'Make it Sparkle'

I've used a sweet image and papers from the House Mouse Christmas projects cd.  I've added some glamour dust to the snow for extra sparkle!  The spotty sheer ribbon is from Joanna's and the glittery heart and snowflake charm are from stash. The snowflakes are made using a Tonic punch. 

So do have a look at the fabulous sparkly inspiration from the DT over at Joanna Sheen! 

Back soon,
