Maisie Caroling

Morning peeps.  I am still trying to stay with the Christmas card making mode.  Today's card is from one of my Favourite Artists.  I have been to my usual Salvation Army Fellowship service this morning and shed my usual tears.  They are so good to me and tell me not to worry, I am in the right place.

Ornate Holly Framed Noel

Afternoon folks.  The sun was out this morning but it was a very cold wind.  The sun has now disappeared and it looks like rain.  It was forecast so I suppose I mustn't complain.

I have forced myself to make a card as if I don't, I don't think I will ever go back to it.  Crafting has always got me through things in the past.  I am not sure it will this time though.

Noel

Hi Folks.  I am trying to get some Christmas cards made for the sake of Tony as he adored Christmas. I am trying to take little steps back into crafting.
  The cards you see for two of DT teams I have scheduled up to November in most cases.  I know I owe some of you emails and I promise I will try to answer when I can.

To make things worse my Coral Paintshop Pro has stopped working all of a sudden. I still can't take a good photo even though Tony tried to teach me bless him.
