{It's easy as} one, two, three...

There's a little recipe for you over at Tilda & Friends this week ~ one button, two ribbons & three flowers.
I kinda cheated a little bit & used this oh so pretty Tilda {a definate fave at the mo!} who already has one flower ~ I just noticed that she has a ribbon in her hair & one on her dress too!



I then popped my ATC onto a mini card blank cut with the biggest rectangle nestie ~ cute huh?!


We're looking for the next guest DT member too ~ head on over to the blog if you fancy showing us your ATC's for February :)

Happy Wednesday all!




So before the big Horror went away there were some huge old fights about the DS ~ Little Horror doesn't have one of his own {he's only three for goodness sake} & big Horror isn't too keen on sharing. Little Horror had sussed that while his brother was at camp he could play on the DS all day long should he so wish.
Can you even imagine the tantrum when it was discovered that someone had hidden the battery for it? War was declared. Big Horror's due home any minute & honestly, I'm fearing for his life...

WOJ colour challenge...

I had a few spare minutes yesterday so thought I'd join in with the Whiff of Joy colour challenge ~ totally adore this stamp & it seems like an age since I last inked her up!

I found some odd bits of MME paper that were just perfect {although I'm not entirely convinced I like them!} & used up some scraps of card stock that were stashed away in a drawer.



Happy Sunday y'all!



The big Horror has gone away to camp with his school ~ I miss his sarcastic little self already.When waving them all off on the bus this morning the little Horror could be seen dancing around, cheering loudly "I'm gonna sleep in your room! The Nintendo's mine! I'm not gonna miss you!" Sibling love, eh?

Tweet...

First off a BIG thank you for all the lovely comments & emails that have been sent my way over the past few weeks ~ you're all so lubly!!! It's been a tough few weeks, but I'm back now ~ albeit with some very rusty colouring!



This week over at CCT we want you to have a giggle ~ a perfect reason to ink up tweet li'l Adam from Toodles & Binks. If you pop over to the T&B blog, do check out the latest sneeky!

Hugs

*"How the flippin' heck did he fit that in his sleigh Mam?" asked the Little Horror on Christmas morning. Yes peeps, it's huge...

'twas the night before Christmas...

...& there's a huge {still unwanted} tractor in my living room...

I just had to come & thank everyone for the gorgeous cards, e~cards & emails I've received. I've been my usual pants self & barely managed to send anything & yes, I do still have presents to wrap...I have remembered to stick Nintendo's, camera's etc on charge this year though!

Biggest Chrimbo hugs to all, hope you all have something crafty waiting for you under the tree!

Walkin' in a winter wonderland...

It's the last CCT challenge of the year & there's an easy-peasy *Open Theme* for you all. We'll be back on January 8th with a new challenge, so you have plenty of time to get making ~ there's a yummy little stamp from DewDrop Crafts as a prize too!
I just had to sneak in another Christmas card, I think all I have left to make now are a couple of money holders for my nephews {hope so anyway!}.



Both of the Horrors schools have mini Carol concerts today so I'm off to practise my singing!



The little Horror has been banging on about a toy ride-on New Holland tractor ever since he picked up a brochure full of them at the Royal Welsh show. Anyone who knows about these things will tell you they cost only a little bit less than a real one. The exact one he fell in love with {he's been taking the brochure to bed with him every night since July.} has been sitting in my parents garage for a few weeks now. Yesterday he announced that he doesn't actually want one anymore because he loves his old one {which cost a tenner & is held together with bits of string}. He's even wrapped it up & stuck it under the tree.
Grrrrrrr...

Here comes Santa Claus...

So, my cards have all been posted, the *tree's up & Santa just made his **pre-Christmas Eve visit...I'm starting to get a little bit excited ;)

Tilda & Friends have a Christmas/New Year theme for this week ~ it's our last challenge of the year & we'd love you to join in so have a peek here :)



Happy Wednesday peeps!



*I have seen some stunning pictures of tree's popping up on everyone's blogs over the past few weeks ~ I would love one of those glittery, colour-co-ordinated beauties in my living room. However, the Horror's decorate ours every year ~ I put up the tree {which is a sight in itself, we've had it years & I can't bear the thought of throwing it away!}, give them the decorations box & leave them to it. They've outdone themselves this year, one poor branch has 6 baubles hanging off it, every glittery piece of cotton wool covered plastic they've brought home from school over the years is hanging on it, the top half isn't decorated cos they can't reach & do you know what? I love every unco-ordinated, tacky bit of it!...



**Every year the local RNLI boys bring Santa round for a little pre-Chrimbo visit. The fabby thing about living in such a tiny place is the fact that they know not only which houses have excited little children in them, but also the names of each & every one of those kids. The downside is that non-believing 8year olds can instantly recognise whoever's got the suit on this year...
"Come & have a chat with me Caleb" said the dude in red to the little Horror.
"Yeah, Cals, go & say hello to Pete" said the big Horror, with an evil, I'm too old for this look in his eye.
"It's not Pete" said the little Horror. "Only Santa's that fat."
