christmas biscuits

So here I am this thursday evening with nothing else better to do lol when my daughter comes home from school and says mum can we make biscuits for my friends at school tomorrow for xmas presents, nothing like leaving things to the last moment eh.

So its took 5 1/2 hours lol to make the dough, chill it, cook it and ice and gift wrap everything we are really pleased how they have turned out so make make so more for nieces and nephews as things are tight this year so we are not buying presents for each other but what inexpensive gifts these are.

Merry christmas everyone

Gift box

At the weekend I altered a little gift box to put a secret santa present in for my christmas meal at work this week. I have never done anything like this before and it was a bit out of my comfort zone, I see some fabulous projects on other peoples blogs when they do this but mine didn't quite turn out as good oh well. I have used my promarkers and some christmas papers from my stash as well as other embellies.

I am going to enter this for the roses on paper challenge which is to alter something and the promarkers challenge which is anything but a card with a christmas or new year theme.

The gorgeous papers are Zoe Pearn again! and I have used an elzybells stamp that I bought last year and didn't even use it poor thing I am entering this card into the stamp with stampavie this week they have a christmas theme at the moment.

Week 9 - sketch by Tara

This is my first christmas card of the year, but I have been looking at everyone else's blog and it seems they are way ahead of me already. I am still recovering from my operation and this is the first time that I have actually been able to make a card I still need help lifting heavy things so I have some great helpers round the house, because unlike some of you lucky girls I don't have my own craft room so I have 3 cupboards and I have to put it away each time.
Anyway I will stop going on now I am entering this card for this weeks basic grey challenge
the sketch is a lovley one created by Tara G, I have used my lovely wisteria papers.

Feeling blue

I have used a sarah kay image, this has to be my favourite at the moment. I also used a lot of scraps and old papers from doodlebug that I haven't touched I am a bit like that like to collect papers and not use them lol I am sure you know what I mean.
The lady that I have made this for is mad about the colour blue as you can see!
Right off to the hospital for my appointment now can't wait to get it over with then back to work for me today.
