Happy New Year !

Happy New Year to all my lovely readers !

Hope you had a good Christmas ? We had a lovely time and then also celebrated Sophie's birthday - yes, it's official we have a teenager in the house ! Think she has been practising for a while though lol !

We also had a few days away at a beautiful hotel near Chester but on the day we left tragically the body of a an 18 yr old who had been missing since his works Christmas party, was found in the lake. Also on the way home on a local motorway we saw a fatal road accident. Makes you think doesn't it ? Therefore my New Year resolution is to count my blessings and appreciate everyone and everything that is important to me !

I must admit I'm not a big fan of New Years Eve and usually go to bed but last night I stayed up and played with some of my new crafting goodies. First time I have been able to play, just because I can for quite a few weeks. Plenty to show you but I haven't taken the photos yet so you will have to wait a little longer....

I do like New Years Day though, have taken all the Christmas decorations down ( very last year lol ! ) and started a big sort out - the novelty will probably have worn off by tomorrow.

I do have something to show you. It was a little gift I gave to the lady that gets the room set up for me where I hold my weekly card classes.

( Sorry but for some reason Blogger won't let me move the picture to here.)

Papers are Mocha Morning and the stamps are a retired Sale -a -bration stamp . Did I mention Sale-a-bration ? I have seen this years freebies and they are well worth waiting a few days extra for ! So exciting, also the new Mini Catalogue launches on Wednesday and I'm sure it will be very popular.

Back soon with some 'Charming' new things to show you ; )
