And even closer

Good morning blogland

Christmas is getting even closer - is what! Ha, I even went and did minimal Christmas shopping, a great achievement for someone who really doesn't 'feel' it for Christmas! For me the day was really about spending time with a happy TTT and to raid charity shops in our nearest Market Town and I did get some good bargains whilst helping Charities as well.

Finally to the point of the post - yesterday was the first Saturday of a new month and so it's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar Challenge and the theme for the month of December is 'Christmas'.  

Our sponsor for this Challenge is the wonderful Polkadoodles who have given a fabulous prize for one lucky winner, they also allowed the DT to pick an image to use and this is my make with that digi stamp:



Supplies used:

Digital stamp:
Polkadoodles - New Friends
coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamps:
Altenew - Thanks for everything
Creative Expressions - Festive Wishes

Dies:
John Next Door - Twinkling Snowflakes
Un-branded stitched rectangles

Anything else:
flat backed gems

If there's anyone left who reads my blog - which considering how bad a blogger I've been for the past year I wouldn't be surprised if there was no-one left who looks at it! -  may have noticed I'm a day late with my post.  This was a combination of going out, as said, for a bit of Christmas shopping and coming home to a house that was leaking from the effects of Storm Darragh which meant no computer time at all yesterday.

The water leakage wasn't sandbags or flooding level, but a steady stream bubbling in under the front door meant me and the hubby were mopping continuously (in shifts) for the whole evening until quite late when the rain let up.  What fun for a Saturday evening!

Hope everyone else in the path of Storm Darragh has escaped the worst of it and I'm looking forward to not having blankets, towels and a mop piled behind my front door!

See you soon,

Sarah

  1. Love the cute image and sparkly snowflakes. Great way to spend a Saturday night -we have had the storm too and all night and last night but we had no let up on the rain!!! Bins over blocking the back door and top catch of the side door to garden ripped off with the wind but luckily nothing major so fingers crossed for tonight!

  2. OMGosh, Sarah! What a nightmare Storm Darragh caused for you. We had really strong winds, but very little rain. Our little caravan in Devon wasn't so lucky as the awning collapsed. We're waiting to hear if someone has managed to rescue it for us, otherwise it will be a little trip down there this week for us to try and sort it out.
    Your card is fabulous, as always. Love the cute image.
