#55 Festive Fun!

Good morning!

How are we all today? Slightly hungover? Overdosed on Turkey? Whatever the answer I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

I did, despite falling asleep at 6:30 in the evening and missing half the night! I do it every year though, David just laughs at me...

First I want to thank you to everyone who sent me a Christmas card, I ended up with cards from America, Canda, Portugal, Iceland, England...if it wasn't for all of you I would of had a measly 5 or 6 cards this year (work do this thing where instead of sending cards we give the money to charity, which is all very well and good but when you don't have children this results in very few cards...).














Next, I want to share my stitching presents :D Yep I got some! Hooray!

 The Cat Kit was from my boyfriends parents, his Mum is also a crafty person so she knows how nice it is to build your stash :)

The Gorjus Kit is from my other half, I pointed a few out to him as he needed ideas of things to get me so it was sort of a half surprise hehe :D

At the bottom is a thread pack for Mini the Black which my Grandparents got me. It is my new year start for a group on Facebook, I am itching to get started already! As well as all this my sweet American pen friend Beth got me some note cards, which will definitely come in handy!



Today is Boxing Day here in England, we won't do much other than relax and eat Turkey sandwiches. Sadly tomorrow it is back to reality and back to work. Oh well, at least I have my Birthday on Monday to look forward to :D

#54 Advent Calendar - Day 19

Hello and welcome to the 19th door of Jo's Advent Calendar 2012!


It has become somewhat of a tradition in our house now for each year to make something new to add to the tree, here are just a few from the last couple of years :)

This year Jo asked "Stocking, Sack or Something Else?" Well we are firmly a "something else" household! All our presents are placed under the tree as we get them, as you can see the pile is getting quite big now so close to Christmas! 


The only problem is the temptation to have a little squeeze or take a peek! I have already spotted the Cath Kidston bag at the back! hehe :D

If I do not get the chance again I want to wish all my readers both old and new alike a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
