A card  I made last week on a dull day it'll go in the school bus box, and be given to one of the children who use the bus. Image from PC Crafter long closed sadly. Love how quickly you can make these images into cards with a few die cuts to layer them up.

Snowman and Rudolph

 A CAS Christmas card today image from PC Crafter sadly no longer open, and a sentiment from Lili of the Valley. Trying to keep a selection of cards flat for posting this year.

We have a beautiful sunny but slightly chilly morning here, need to gather some of the windfall fruit, as it was blowy overnight, it's been a bumper year, I've made about 40 lbs of jam ( plum, pear and ginger , apple jelly and apple butter) and the same of chutney. Have 7lbs of plums, the last on the tree, in to make more jam today.
Hubby has also used 40lbs of pears to make cider, there are still loads of apples and pears on the trees, will be busy with them soon.

Skating or Not?

Well one of my snowmen is  skating, the other doesn't seem to have the hang of it. I did consider putting the image from the card on the bag, but thought the different image made the set a bit more fun.The card is so simple to make a C&S layout, without the bells it would even be a standard letter post.

Another sunny bright morning, even hubby who likes to lie in bed was up at 7 am today. A good day to go to the coast and enjoy the breeze from the North sea.

I've kept this nice and simple as it will be posted, last Christmas I spent a fortune on postage ,but discovered that putting all the cards for the same address into a padded envelope was significantly less expensive than posting the cards individually.

Rudolph

Another card to add to the Christmas box, the 52CCT challenge are looking for cards with Rudolph and Jingle Bells for a card based on a story. When the boys were young we had several Christmas books including Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer written by Robert L May in 1939. We started reading these books a couple of weeks before Christmas, both boys still remember those evenings and for the last few years my elder son has treated the family to a night out in Aberdeen, on Christmas Eve, where a small private picture house shows a traditional Christmas film a Wonderful Life and Scrooge are 2 we have seen.
