Morning lovelies........hope you're all well!
I managed an hour, ok more like 2 hours playing at my desk yesterday,
thought it was about time I made this years' Little Book of Christmas.
Some of you might remember I make a book every year, usually in
the Summer holidays, to hold any & all things Christmas.
Gift ideas, card lists, addresses, recipes, movies we watched, craft ideas to
try.........if it's to do with our Christmas it goes in my book!
Usually Miss Rebecca will choose the image for the front, this time
I didn't even ask her cos I knew she'd choose this one!
I coloured her with Copics, die cut some snowflakes....lots of matting,
layering, sticking, snipping & knotting later this is what I came
up with.....useful practical & nice to look at! It's fun to look back over
some old books too, see how older Christmas's compare and you know what?
Mostly our Christmas's are the same.....filled with family, fun, laughter,
chocolate & good food........and a cheesy Christmas movie......or 2!
Rightio, I can hear that ironing pile calling......thanks for popping by!
Don't forget....you can enter my candy here!

Lovely little book there Jo. I think I had that paper.
ReplyDeleteI love to look through my C Albums too. It is nice to look back at what you get up to.
