Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge Sponsored by Fred She Said and Paper Nest Dolls

Hello everyone - hope you have had a good week so far and have better weather than we are having.  It's just rain for us.

I had this post scheduled on time but hadn't had a chance to write anything until now.  Better late than never I suppose.

With things changing the way they are at the moment, I haven't had much time to blog.  I'm still crafting, but the blogging is falling by the wayside at the moment, so I won't be on here as much as I would like.  I will still pop on with a card or two when I can.  So sorry for not commenting much and on that note I am sharing this Christmas card........


This lovely Nuthatch image is pre-coloured and is from Fred she Said.
