A Little Moment of Delight

I love the cheery bright colours in this design paper a welcome relief from the dull grey overcast weather today. When I teamed the sentiment with the image I reckoned it would be the mouse with the balloon and pin who would have a moment of delight.

Many thanks to all who continue to follow and leave comments I appreciate them all.

A Time for Giving

Poinsettia flowers die cut from 120gsm paper coloured with Promarkers markers then sprayed lightly with water scrunched up then left to dry. The flowers dry really well and hold their shape.



A card for our postie today, he's been delivering our mail since we built our bungalow in 1993, and since giving up work I've got to know him quite well. I firmly believe in giving a gratuity to someone ho has provided good service. Almost everything ready now just the last minute fresh food shopping to do.

Peace on Earth

We have some of the white stuff lying today, it started snowing about 2am and there's just enough to make walking difficult as the ground was frozen underneath.

For the Tree?

I thought December would be a relatively quiet month as I was well organised for Christmas, but I've been out almost every day .
Luckily we have not been affected by the bad weather and storms and have had a few light falls of snow, today is really frosty but the sun is attempting to shine, I love days like this.
