Well I can certainly confirm that Christmas is on it's way - because I have developed a stinky cold! I feel that it's almost a tradition now that I either get a cold just before Christmas (when things are getting so busy with endless lists, jobs to do, etc.) or I start with one on Christmas Eve which then kindly stays with me for the festive period, ensuring that my "relaxing, family time" is punctuated by sneezes, coughs, nose-blowing and watering eyes. Deep Joy. Understandably at work I'm being given a wide berth by colleagues - in between smirks at my croaking voice and ridiculously girlie sneezes that I seem to do. And it's not much better at home, with helpful comments from husband that with the husky voice, I sound like I should be working for a dodgy chatline - although as I pointed out, how would he know what a chatline sounds like? Only Grumpy Poppy the cat is coming near me - and that's only because she either wants to pinch my warm seat on the sofa whenever I get up, or try to sit on the laptop (whilst I'm typing!). Sigh.
Anyway, less of the moaning! I'm dosed up on cold remedies and hot drinks and determined to shake it off as soon as possible lol. Far too much to do at this time of year to be feeling sorry for myself!
Another Christmas card to share with you today, using a gorgeous image from Mo Manning,
I've coloured the image with copics and promarkers (and, for once, a Christmas card with NO glitter lol!)
The backing paper is from LOTV with some added stitching. The sentiment stamp is from Chocolate Baroque and I've added a wooden star and gingham ribbon. And apologies for the slightly askew snowflake stamped onto it - I can only blame the cold germs lol!
I hope you are keeping well and cold-free - and that your preparations for the festive season are running smoothly.
I'll be back soon, but for now I'll sign off with a sneeze and a cough lol!
