Good Saturday Morning Ladies,
I hope that you are all organised so that you can relax and have a lovely weekend.
We did a small shop to tide us over until Monday or Tuesday when we'll finish the Christmas food shop. We were going to get some bits yesterday but everything had short dates, for example Paul likes a good Pork Pie, the only ones we saw yesterday had expiry date of 26th December, you want it to last a few days past Christmas day. Fingers crossed we are more successful after weekend. Are you all done? I know our Sonia has got a Grocery Delivery slot booked, Lilian does that too, I am a bit picky to have someone pick my meat and fruit, we have done in past and got some really bizarre substitution items.
Are you hosting or going to family for Christmas?
They have changed the big post box topper for Christmas, the building behind used to be the post office, sadly it closed and is now inside WH Smith, it doesn't say on it who makes it, which is a shame. Its an absolute work of art, even the tree tinsel is knitted. I love seeing them, something really cheerful in Witney.
Karen
Karen found some 'spare/unused' Guinness beer mats while she was out last weekend, what a brilliant idea to turn them into gift tags.
Karen's Description:
Out dancing last night and they had some Guinness beer mats and a “couple” fell into my bag So I have made a couple of gift tags for the men in our family and I will make a couple of Christmas cards too
I just backed them with white card and used (for the first time) a die that came with my machine.
They are brilliant, thank you so much for sharing them with us my lovely XXX
Lilian's Shopping
Lilian has treated herself to the new Stamperia Collection 'Herbarium Silvae', she had it ready to show me last weekend and all it took was one flick through to get me hooked, the papers are stunning with lots of greens. The stamps are beautiful too and so detailed.
Thank you for sharing the latest Collection with us my lovely, mine is on its way! 😉😍
I hope that you all have a lovely weekend,
Love & hugs to all of you,
Sandra xxx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteLove the quote 🙂
The postbox topper is beautiful, so much work that goes into them.
Karen, I love your tags, what a great idea.
Lilian, your Stamperia goodies are beautiful. You and Sandra have me hooked, I’m falling in love with their collections ☺️
Still got a couple of presents to get, then the wrapping will start! Not my favourite job 😬
I used to love to go to get the big food shop at Christmas, but I just can’t be doing with it now. Our Tesco gets so busy and you spend just as long queuing as you do getting the shopping!
Mark and I are on our own on Christmas Day, and to be honest I’m really looking forward to it. I will spend the day in my comfy pj’s and we will eat ‘snacky’ bits and relax in front of the tv 😊 Will be hosting on Boxing Day for marks mum, Luke and Hayley.
Have a lovely weekend everyone whatever you’re doing
Sending hugs to you all xx
Yes! You should see my craft room There’s a ton of outward ideas!
ReplyDeleteThat post box topper is gorgeous All beautifully crocheted There are about 23 toppers in Hertford There’s a trail to go and find them and they also have a stall selling items for a charity We must go and see them
Your shopping looks lovely Lilian Enjoy “playing” with it all
Thank you for sharing my gift tags Not sure I like the font for the die cuts I was in a rush Next time I might try the Aall and Create tag letters or print it first
Off to see an aunt of OH today with daughter and the boys
Take care everyone xx
Hello everyone, another very chilly day, had the heater on all day.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment my room is still tidy after my big sort out before Sandra came last weekend, it won’t last, I’m sure as soon a I get crafting after Christmas it will be back to normal.
Can’t wait to use my new goodies.
Hope you have had a good day, goodnight. Lilian
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteFabulous post box. So much work that has gone into it. Shame they don't say who made it.
Love your shopping Lilian. Have a lot of fun playing.
Like your tag Karen. Hope you had a good day.
We are on our own Christmas eve but going over to sister in laws youngest daughter on Christmas day and it be 13-14 of us and the dog. Only hoping that Molly and Louis can play nicely on the day.
Hope you had a nice day. Sun was shining and not too cold. Had a walk around with the cards for the neighbours while the men are watching football.
Hugs to you all, Maria xx
Love the post box topper, someone has put a lot of work into this.
