It's turned out to be a much busier half term holiday than I was expecting but we've got lots of stuff done in the house and ticked a lot off the list! I was moaning about the lack of light in my craft room and Dave suggested I move my stuff into the back bedroom - the one we've just decorated for our little princesses! I thought about it for about two seconds, lol, and now I have the best craft room I could have wished for. I absolutely love it and the girls love the smaller room as it's much cosier. Now, if either of my boys decide to come home they'll have to rent next door's garage as there's no way I'm giving up my room!
I finished some mag work earlier in the week so at last, with just two month's to go before the big day, I've had time to make a card for Sarn's Rudolph Day challenge! I've used one of the gorgeous Snow People images from DigiStamp Boutique. I used Craft Artist to enlarge and rotate the image and then cropped him (ouch!).
Before I go I want to share a photo with you. This is what I saw at the end of our Close when I looked out of an upstairs window last Sunday.
As I live near to Knowsley Safari Park, I got one hell of a fright! Turned out to be a large stuffed toy someone had put out for the bin men, lol!
Thanks for visiting.
