yep the Christmas feeling is really coming alive now, especially in this household. For weeks now Riley has been making/doing Christmas related stuff at Kindy and today he has bought most of it home :((((....he only has 2 more days of Kindy for the rest of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can hardly believe it.....!!!! sob sob...
Yesterday after he came out of hospital, it was a real treat to get the Christmas tree out and put up all the decorations ...so far we aren't destroying them like last year!!!! Lets see how the next 25 odd days go!! I am loving all the sweet little handmade touches that Riley has carefully added to the tree....just so special!
Speaking of Riley, thank you so much for leaving me beautiful messages on my last post, especially those who emailed and sent me text messages...just hearing from you and knowing you were there was lovely!!! He is out of hospital now and after many blood tests and the doctor conferring with a professor in Melbourne who specialises in snake bites, it turns out he was bitten by a SPIDER!!! What sort, is a mystery!! What ever it was, the poison was affecting his muscle value and need close monitoring for 24+ hours!
Anyway....in scrap news Stuck?! Sketches have released a new sketch for the month...
Okay...the sketch is there...I flipped it to the right 90 degrees...my fussy cutting around some Pink Paislee paper is my 'banners'....and as always, I like to mix a little grunge with feminine :))))
Having the most fun with my Distress Inks at the moment. They are especially superb when altering plain flowers like this white Prima one..
Well I am doing some scrapping this weekend....that's the plan! Unfortunately I will be doing DT stuff as I like to get that out the road first...but I am hoping to do a just because page....because I need to!
Have a lovely weekend and thanks for stopping by! :))
Hugs
Min xx
