It's Christmas!! Well Nearly!!

I have just finished making my Christmas cards.

Along with 3 Birthdays cards.

I won't post the Christmas ones until the first

 week in December.

A word of warning!!

Don't post anything 1st class, expecting it to arrive

the following day. I posted a small box to my sister,.

and I also asked it to be signed for at the other end..

I posted it on Monday and it finally arrived on Friday!!

I was annoyed and concerned, that it had been lost,

So I had not only paid a lot more for the service that

wasn't working, I don't think I should have even been 

offered it!!

 

I love this little LOTV snowman and friends stamp. It comes out every year and coloured with Copics. 

The trees were cut from

Glitter card from Hobbycraft, I bought the Merry Christmas die on line. 

I think I am going to spend some lockdown hours, on my family scrapbook.

 I thought, for a bit of fun, I will make a small scrapbook,

with the photos of my different hairstyles I have had, from a child to now!! 

As I have been a hairdresser for 58 years

(and still cut my own hair and my husbands,) I have 

had some weird and hilarious styles through 

the 60's to the 90's!!

I have quite a lot of my items, I usually take to the Craft Fairs to sell, are now on Facebook in 

Marketplace and 3 other groups.

I am just trying to get some money for the Charity Care 

Homes I fund raise for.

Thank you for the lovely messages you left on my last post.

They were all read and appreciated. 

Stay safe in this awful time we find ourselves in.

Big hugs,

Carol

Thank you for your lovely messages on my last post.

This is one of my quick cards and using my favourite colours.

I made the Poinsettia with a card pack I bought in Hobbycraft. 

It's got a glitter effect and die cuts beautifully. 

I must admit I bought a pack of all the colours I liked!!

Well you just have too!!

I have also been putting some more of my makes

onto the Marketplace on Facebook.

They are also on 3 other groups sites.

I am trying to get some money for the 2 Charity

Care Homes I support. I do so miss the Craft Fairs.

I am on a roll of getting all my Christmas cards made.

Just over 40 of them and 4 birthday cards too. 

I hope to get them finished in a couple of days. 

Stay safe and well.

Big hugs,

Carol

Robin friends.

Thank you for your lovely messages on my last post.

Much appreciated and read each one!!

I have used the Robin stamps from Hobby Art for this card.

There are 3 different Robins but I only had space for 2.

I coloured them with Copics Pens. I fussy cut

 the hats and used Pinflair Snow-It glue and glitter

on the hats.

I had made 60 Christmas cards for the Care Home

that I fund raise for but I had to keep this one for myself!!

I delivered the cards there on Friday and they were very 

pleased to have them.

That is why I haven't been blogging more often lately.

Making 60 cards in a few weeks was going some!!

I can now start making my cards.

I am doing all my running around for the next 3 days!!

Then I will make the use of lockdown and get on with 

my cards. I have a few Birthday cards to make too.

Thanks for popping into my blog and always love 

to read your messages.

Stay safe in lockdown and just hope that everyone

will do the right thing for 4 weeks. 

Big hugs,

Carol
