Simple Christmas Card Number One

Hi Folks. I am so behind making my Christmas cards this year for obvious reasons. I thought I had better making a couple of really simple ones. They are simple but took me ages to make as my heart really wasn't in it. Tony loved Christmas and the decs had to go up on the 1st December.

My most important project I have ever made

Hi Folks, it has been and still is very sunny and hot here today. All is suppose to go down hill tomorrow.

My project today is the most important one to me that have ever made in my life. I can't say it is the best one, because it isn't.

I made this the week of my darling Tony's funeral. I am in tears typing this. It was the most important project I have ever undertaking. I was in tears doing it as it didn't seem to be going right and I wanted it too be so special. I have never done anything like this before and it was only because my Step-Daughter sat beside me telling me to get on with it and it will be okay that I continued doing it. It is of course our two initials. It is on the fire hearth where I can see it.

My Most Important Project

Products Used

Alphabet Shapes - Papermania - Do Crafts

Patch Sheets - Bare Basics - Perfect Partner - Papermania - Do Crafts
