Hello there
Not long now until the Jolly Fella in a red suit pays a visit to all of the good Girls and Boys in the World. Guess I am getting coal again! Yippee!!
I am so sorry I have not been around much the last few days. I have been a little under the weather with a sinus infection and a little problem with my war wound so spent most of Friday, Saturday and Sunday in bed or on the settee in front of the fire! Before you ask, yes Hubby was with me, but NO as he had flu also! I also managed to burst a blood vessel in my eye which was a little irritating so was not wishing to look at laptop.
Anyhoo we are both on the road to recovery helped by Mr Jack Daniels, antibiotics and good old paracetamol and rest! I am finding that after finishing work I am only fit to collapse and my poor craft room is feeling a little cold and neglected right now. Not to worry...Hubby's card hasn't been thought of yet alone made so it wont be long until I am back in there.
I thought I would share a few cards I made to send to family and friends...
All roughly the same but different. Can you believe I bought that Stampenduous stamp in US for ....wait for it....$1.50!!!!!! I had thought about buying the same one to take to my host Kim but figured she might have it as I knew she had a previous one. It was in my basket at £13.50!!! Bargain ey and I love it as it is great for men through the year if you don't colour the holly in! BTW I used my green wink of stella pen, which I bought as an error....loving it now! The red is stickles. The little Santa and Snowman clay charms I have had for ever so are VOS. I hope they have survived the post.
Right then. Off to catch up in the antics of the Playground with these. Hopefully my understudy in the Nativity play has not run away with the idea that she has my part for good. I shall just sneeze on her if she won't give it back!
Let me know if you want to know how or what I did to create these cards.
Thanks for calling by.

Oh I laughed at your expense! Jack helped you, but in my case it would have to be Jose or Bud! Glad to hear you both are recovering and I think Santa will bring you something along with the coal! Your Christmas cards are GORGEOUS! Love that train stamp and festive colored berries! Take care of yourself! Hugs!

A few cards!!!! good grief there is a few month's worth here, lol.
Great though, I thought at first it may be the Chatternugga Choo Choo after your USA visit don't know how to spell Chatter,,,,,,,, even though I have been there.
These are just fabulous and love the tad of green and red.
Hope you back to full strength very soon. Well the strength of the Jack Daniels may help.

Mr Daniels might have helped you on your road to recovery but I would be left flat on my back .... I am one of those boring ones who doesn't drink. Could you imagine the giggles at seeing me tipsy!!!!
Glad you are feeling better.
Love this collection of cards and seriously $1.50, that is incredible. A beautiful stamp.
Here's to you feeling 100% better by the time that Mr Claus pays you a visit.
Wishes to You

Really gorgeous cards Hettie and I hope you and Mr are feeling much better and over the nasty flu that is doing the rounds. A gorgeous stamp that needs to go on my wish list, keep well and warm Karen xx
Here is hoping that you feel fully recovered soon This is too busy a time for illness or injury...no wait...you had Jack to keep you going!!! Oh...well them...
Fabulous cards I love that stamp and have it too... Must let it meet ink in 2015.
Love the holly you did with the Wink of Stella...really pops!
Love those cards Sam! Crumbs though, I do think we pay over the top for stamps over here in comparison to the USA!
Hope you're feeling much improved!
Hugs
