Morning friends.....hope you're all well!
Another bright but cool Autumn like morning here today.....and I love it!
I'm sharing my "Little (big) book of Christmas" today.....I make one
of these every year, usually in the Summer hols but what with
illness etc., I've not managed it until yesterday! I use it for all things
Christmas.......recipes, present lists, things to make & do......absolutely
anything to do with Christmas.......it'll be packed full of snippets & cuttings
& things before long! It's A4 in size and usually is really traditional
....that's how I like Christmas....but this time I've gone for purple
& black........Miss Rebecca's fav colours!
Rightio, thanks for calling today.....and for any comments you might leave
.........off to fill a few pages in my book!
Hope your day's a good one!

aw lovely colours and a Lovely Card, Thanks for joining in Creative Creations Challenges, good luck x
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea Jo...I usually have bits of paper all over the place so I might just borrow your idea. The purple and black are a great alternative color combo. Thanks for joining in our Winter Wonderland challenge at LCI this fortnight xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvellous idea to make a little booklet to hold those Christmas ideas and to do lists etc. I usually just use and old scribbler or whatever is available. This is much more organized and can be kept for future reference down the road. LOVE IT!
