Well it's only a week until Christmas Day...are you all ready? I know I'm not :o) I always have great plans to be organised earlier on in the year but they always backfire or something happens to set me back. I'll get there in the end but it's usually a mad scramble in this last week to make sure all the presents are wrapped and food purchased plus to make sure mum has all that she needs too.

I'll see you all here again soon,

Lorraine

Phew! In the Post

 Hi Crafters,

I have just put my last Christmas card in the post box today, phew!

Although I make Christmas cards all-year-round these go on to my stall at markets so everything else is made after that but it is done now and I can relax somewhat.

It has been an intense card making session over several days to get finished but all my Design Team friends should have received or will receive their cards in the next day or so.

Thank you to everyone who has sent me a card also, I know what goes into making them and really appreciate the time taken. I keep all the handmade cards that I receive in a memory album to display them.

This card was for a swap partner from the Gecko Galz and as she has received it today I am safe to share.

Mixed Media Background - Distress oxides, Trellis and Star Stencils, Texture Paste, CE Enigma Stamp
