Christmas fast approaching...

Where did that week go? I feel as if I've been on the go all week - and realised I hadn't posted for a week, so thought it was about time I got sat down with the laptop! A busy last week at school but thankfully finished now for 2 weeks - yippee! And hopefully a chance to relax and enjoy some family time.  I was busy trying to enforce 'Operation Tidy Up' at home and packing crafty goodies away as I got the spare room ready for daughter and boyfriend who landed back yesterday. So I have a house full once more, it feels like normal service has been resumed with bodies all over the house, a constant stream of food and drinks being produced (not to mention piles of washing up and queues for the bathroom lol!). They're here for a couple of days then spending Christmas day with Tom's mum - although Lauren's back to see us on Boxing Day. Then they'll head back to ours for a few more days. So it'll be our first Christmas Day without Lauren with us - and (despite my bottom lip trembling a bit!) I'm trying to be big and brave about it! All part of our children 'growing up' I suppose!

Anyway, I hope you have some nice things planned for Christmas and the New Year, and manage to squeeze in some crafting time too.

This card is one made for a friend to give to her daughter - and she said she loved cute! Well, there's not much cuter than the Wee Stamps images


The image has been coloured with copics and graphits with plenty of added glitter! 
The backing papers are from LOTV with gingham and Christmas ribbon from stash, together with a snowflake charm and wooden star. The sentiment tags are from LOTV.

I hope to have some time to relax and visit Blogland over the next few days! 
Back soon,
Kim x

  13. Gorgeous creation - beautiful image and colours. As family grows and leaves us we can only enjoy the time they give us. Next year your daughter will probably spend Christmas with you :-) I am not looking forward to that time either though :-) Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas. Hugs, Karon.
