AWOL

If my husband had disappeared for as long as I have from my blog when he was in the Army, he'd be in jail! Luckily I'm not in such trouble although I apologise for my absence. 

Here's my DT card for December!

Since I last blogged I have had the privilege of being invited to join The Cupboard Trilogy Design Team, which runs a monthly challenge with a badge award for your blog for top DT pick and a random generator picks a winner for a small prize.

It's a fun challenge with some lovely examples by the talented DT ladies. 

This month the challenge is titled Frosty Winter. Take a look at the website to see what it's all about and join in the fun if you fancy.

Apparently Christmas is coming!

It seems that no matter how much you bury your head in the mistletoe, Christmas still arrives in December every year! If you make your own Christmas cards, you really need to start earlier than October but for me this is positively early and may even mean I manage to make more than just two cards this year! I've always been rather put out at the materialism of the festive season causing decorations to appear in the shops earlier every year. However, I have realised that you do need to acknowledge it earlier than December if you want some homemade elements!

I've seem some people in the crafting world make a point of creating 5 cards a month throughout the year and may even adopt this policy next year myself, but this year alas I've actually only just made my second card! I had better get a move on and make it at least 3 by the end of today!
