It looks like Christmas may be around the corner.....eeekkkk!!!!!!!!!



OK, so maybe I am getting ahead of myself for a change, but hey, I am always the last, so, here I go with the Christmas card stash, first two up are these nice easy peasey ones I did recently...
Couldn't you just eat him up on a butty...coloured with the usual flex and a touch of chalk here and there...
This little cutie I bought last week at SassyCheryls and he is called Admiring the stars...
same colouring as above, ribbon from stash and the paper is last years from making cards..mag;
 **************************
While I'm here I thought I'd show a little something Mia made this week, I bought Homemade mag and this was in, well she just HAD to make it and I think she did a pretty good job of it too.....

and look what she made for her mum when she had to work late, she made it at mine, we don't just leave her to get on with it...lol....
Leek, cheese and potato pie, I believe it was a big hit....
Must get my dish back too.....

Hope you enjoyed seeing what we are getting up to, thanks so much for your visit....see you soon...hugs, Janette and Mia....xxxx

Quick share

Just a little quickie today, if you know me, you will know my daughter, Carla, if an absolute sod for last minute...Mum, can you do this for me.....she has had SIX whole weeks...anyway, my fault, I mean I did have a hand in making her..lol....so I feel this must be my penance....just kidding......after bags for this and the other, an empty shoe box turns up the other night, can you make....wait for it....another teacher friend of hers......a nice box for class........two days..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....thinking cap on and here we are, I REALLY hope she likes it, I do know this sweet girl, she is so lovely and I think it will be fine...so....an Adidas box, I have no picture of before as camera was on one....I promise it was a flat top every day box, I added the bowed top and tried to make it look like wood by scoring etc;. the straps are again, papermill card, the buckles are simply tag dies, the design is a Hero Arts stamp...which I totally adore....lots of inky fingers and very sore limbs and we have a box fit for a class room full of kids....I hope...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The back is just a couple of circles and Utee 3 times then stamped...
Ok, hope you like, it's not perfect but I think it will serve it's purpose...

I must dash, we have a Christmas cake cooking and the house smells Divine, Mia made her first one on Tuesday, she was so excited, will show when done....see you tomorrow for the new challenge at CraftyCatz....have a nice evening...xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
