Stanley's Present

Good morning friends.  Hope you are having a nice day so far.
My lad Brandon had his first sleepover at a friends house this Friday gone.  It was so weird him not being at home as this is the first time in 8 years we have been apart.  He loved it but did wake up at one point missing me and he was glad to see his mum and dad when he came home.  I'll be having his friend at ours for a sleepover in the next couple of weeks.

I have another Christmas card to share.....

It's that cutie Stanley again from the Winter Stanley set by Digi Stamp Boutique and he's coloured in with ProMarkers. The papers are a mix of Carta Bella and Crafty Creations 12 x 12's.  The Doily is from Scribble & Scrap and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The gems and ribbon are from the Works and everything else is from my stash.

Hope Your Christmas is as Special as You

Good morning everyone.

The temperature has really dipped here in Buxton.  It's quite cold now.  Time to bring out the thermals lol.
My lad went back to School today after his half term break (and inset day) and boy did he not want to
go back.  I think he really enjoyed his week off and wanted it to carry on a bit longer, bless.

I have a Christmas card to share today....

This is another Digi Stamp Boutique image and it is so adorable.  When my friends came to visit last week one of them dropped a hint that she would like this cute penguin and polar bear for her Christmas card, so this is going to her.  I have coloured this in with Pro-Markers and a blender pen.  The papers are Magnolia's 12 x 12.  The button and ribbon are from my stash.  The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
The gorgeous blue flowers and doily are from a prize I won from Scribble & Scrap a week ago and I got to choose some goodies from the craft shop....

Aern't they lovely :)
