From our house to yours....

 I recently made some christmas party invitations for a magazine commission, and one of them had a Memory Box snowy scene on it, when I was tidying my chaotic desk the other day I came across my 'prototype' snowy scene, all made up and ready to go, so perfect for a quick card.....

the snowy sky was done with frantage shabby white embossing powder...

and I am loving using silver sewing thread to tie delicate bows without adding bulk....

All is well here on the babysitting marathon. Max decided to make a Christmas movie last night, which involved a lot of moving a toy snowman and santa around the place and telling me what to do. We had to spend ages making a tripod for the camera out of empty loo rolls and lots of tape, apparently I don't know enough about the art of filming to hold the camera....

Milo goes on a 'play date' today - where did that phrase come from? When my kids were small we called it 'having the Jones boy round for tea after school'. I was telling him to be a good boy, and remember to say 'please' and 'thank you' to his friends mummy. 'But she won't tell you if I've been naughty' he replied. Hmmm, how does he know that? It has a ring of authenticity about it....

Colouring of images completed - zero. Number of Christmas cards written - none. What did I tell you? See you tomorrow.
