Bluewater

We made our annual trip to Bluewater yesterday, to meet up with Maureen and John to exchange presents. This year we took Rebecca with us for a bit of spoiling!  I really don’t like the shops now, I find it much easier to order online, but once a year I can cope with!
I’m slowly getting myself organised ready for December and the start of Shimelle’s class which you can find here http://www.shimelle.com/

digi layouts

Felt like playing with photoshop again as I have bought a few new kits. This layout uses Lindsay Jane papers and elements plus a shimelle paper.

Winter!

What do you do when the weather is bad and you don’t feel like going out?  Copy you’re clever daughter’s idea which you can find here http://www.jennyjens-journal.blogspot.com/!
I’ve had great fun this afternoon making a gifts book just like Jenny’s with last year’s Sarah’s Cards Christmas kit.
Yesterday Jenny and I went to see New Moon, it was very good if a tad loud! Ian and Peter chose to go to the O2 instead and watch the Federer v Murray match along with a few others. Which would you rather do?

Christmas Music

Much to the families disgust I have got the Christmas music out, I love to listen to it while I do some Christmas cooking, today it was my pudding.
The weather has been awful today but at least we are safe and dry.

Feeling Christmassy!

I’ve been starting to feel a bit Christmassy and thought I would treat myself to a new digi kit. I couldn’t resist Santa’s Kingdom by NLD. It’s been taking a long time to download so I made this page while I was waiting. It’s a bit of a cheat as I only had to add the photos.
What I really want to do is transform my blog for December, not sure if I will manage it though.

Christmas Cards

I’ve been busy making some more cards using digi stamps from DigiStamp Boutique, I also used their blog to get some inspiration as I find cards hard to do.

The cards haven’t scanned that well but I’m very pleased with the results, have barely started though, have lots more to do. Cards seem to take me as long as a layout!

Feeling chilli!

It’s been a miserable day so I thought I would get ahead with some Christmas cooking. It seems to have become a tradition in our house that David challenges us to eat something hot and spicy, well I thought I would do it this year and have made this sweet chilli jam, the recipe can be found here http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/8257/sweet-chilli-jam
I’ve tasted it and it certainly has a kick!
 
I’ve also made these two cards for Christmas using some digi stamps I bought from the DigiStamp Boutique and my new promarkers. I copied my daughter's card as she is so much better at it than me ! You can find her blog here
