Sorry not had internet all morning and then we had to take DS up to the train station to go see his dad so I am all sad today!! ... I sat and coloured in some images last night just for fun but made no new cards!!

Hope all who are feeling poorly are better soon!

Hels - yep I'm doing the advent calendar thing, but I'm not doing an advent one - if that makes sense - I'm going to cover it in normal papers and give it to Mum as a present to store all her bits and pieces in. Fab cards on your blog, my favourite is your thank your one - its so pretty!!

Furrypig - sorry your plans went belly up!!!!

Rusty - I don't know when I'm going to start my advent calendar thingie - I've got a feeling its going to be quite a challenge - it looks quite fiddly!!!!

I made an advent calender in the new creativity magazine if anyone has got it? I used a baking tray and covered it with textured cardstock. The advent pieces were decorated with Forever Friends stickers and gems but you could use your stamps.. like.. a Gorjuss girl Calender I then popped a magnet on the back of each piece and an envelope on the back of the baking tray to keep the pieces in.

I have been really enjoying restoring old photos lately and when Lee's uncle saw his late mother in the magazine it made him cry so that felt really good.

Have been really into making cards lately and can't seem to scrap at all?? Loving the new Christmas stash by Docrafts, especially the clear stamps. I always think they're a bargain at 5.99 for a whole sheet. I sound like an advertisement now

If anyone makes anything nice with their Docrafts stash (Doodlebug, Anitas, Papermania, WRMK etc) then let me know.. there's a nice readers section in the mag

It was actually quite quick to do because the pieces could all be cut out in one big batch and was tons of fun to decorate them all. Thanks Gemm xx

I haven't done a blog hop in ages so got to do that now!!
