All Owled out...

I've been Owling...not the crouching planking type!.....But Birthday owling for my Grandaughter's 6th Birthday and the results were just what she ordered...One Owl Birthday Card with an owl story inside, owl covers for the party bags and owl bunting made from card, also some fabric bunting in her favoutite colours and this cake,...unfortunately, I've had a blip with my camera (this photo was on my phone) so will try to get more pics later in the week... The cake had a chocolate and oreo filling and the top was made from icing (wings embossed with one of my craft folders!) and the eyes from icing and Oreo biscuits  worked well!  Deliciousness personified, Enjoy

Santagrandad....

 Everyone looking skyward for Santa's arrival.....
 He's arrived..After one of the staff had to pick him up from the North Pole, with some help from a bit of Santa magic, in a Jaguar as the Reindeer had partied too hard and were still in bed.....

Just thought I would share what happened on our recent trip to see our grandaughters when Grandad and I were asked to help out at their school...I was asked to help out at school with parties talent shows and lots of fun and Grandad...would he step in as Santa!!!  Hohoho after a shaky nervous start, he soon got into the swing of it and this is now a christmas we shall never forget, what more can one ask than to be part of a child's dreams, so much fun!.  The last photo is one of our grandaughter's, Fay with Santagrandad

Happy New Year to one and all and Christmas......


Better late than never, I didn't know I could be so busy in retirement!!  Anyway just thought I would start off the New Year with a little post about my Christmas cards...which I made mostly back in October...I probably make a lot of work for myself BUT it is enjoyable crafty work in that I usually make ALL my Christmas cards and lots of different cards rather than one style, hoho I love it..here are just a couple of samples made with my gorgeous Christmas Candle stamp from LoTV which everyone has commented on, don't you just love her and so many ways to dress her - I have used glamour dust and a minimum of colour to reflect my beautiful background papers courtesy of PP (my set were purchased a long time ago and used again and again!  I Love them hope you do too..
