Sorry I haven't been about much these last few days but I really needed to get organised for christmas and with my mum having that fall at the begining of the week I've been going to help her most days with bits and pieces...anyway all of the presents are brought/made wrapped and under the tree..mince pies are all made...christmas cake is decorated..cards are all sent.. so all that's left to do now is the last of the food shopping which I think I will do early on Christmas Eve morning as hubby has to work till 3pm but he has to be away from home by 4am so I think I'm going to go out when he leaves and be back home before everyone else...who am I kidding
1. I like my bed too much
2. I don't like these cold mornings
3. I don't like the dark....so there's no chance really... I'll be fighting my way thought the traffic..trying to park and shopping with everyone else.. just thought I would show you the last few things I have made for Christmas..the bags are to put my candles and lantern boxes in and I made the bottle hangers for a friend and the neighbours...
As you can see I've used a lot of the images from Pink Gem Designs I just love them...They have all been coloured with my distress inks and all of the papers,card and ribbon is from my stash the gem dew drops are from tabby crafts..hope you are all nearly ready for Christmas..we didn't get any of the snow here it's sunny but cold..hope that now I've got most things done I can make a few more cards and do a bit more blogging..take care..

Lovely gifts as they are you don't need to add the prezzies lol That lilac/purple bag is a gorgeous colour and the ribbon is made for it.
Have a lovely christmas and if I had to do the shopping I would be with you in the crowds rather than get out of my bed too early lol.
