December, Sausage Dogs and a challenge

 

Good morning, it is a bit frosty out at the moment, proper December weather.  Can you believe that we are already in December? Even though we have had lots of time at home, the year does feel as though it has gone past rather quickly. 

I was up at 4am this morning, just one of those things.  I didnt waste time though, I did a bit of Christmas shopping so all I have to do now is send Paul on Friday afternoon to collect it.  So much safer than going round the shops which is something I cant really do at the moment.

I also got the bonus of being able to order from the new January - June Mini Catalogue from Stampin' Up!  This is just one of the perks of being a demonstrator.  If you have been considering joining the Stampin' Up! family I really would like to tell you more.  Please get in touch and I will call you with lots of information to see if this is right for you.  You too can get your hands on some wonderful goodies before the catalogue comes out.

Yesterday was our youngest grand daughters 14th birthday and this was the card I made.

I hope she liked the card.  She asked for a waffle making machine so that is what she got.  

The hampers are now getting full and I have even managed to get one or two wrapped up and ready for delivering although it is a little bit early at the moment. 

They will just stay in the spare room.  I need to make some rather large gift tags for the though.

We shall be having our 'room' chat on Wednesday night at 7.30 for an hour.  If you would like to join us, you are more than welcome to.  We just sit and chat with a cuppa in hand.  If you have made something, we would love to see it. Then on Friday night and Saturday afternoon we shall have our Zoom get together.  The theme this week is Simple Stamping.  I shall get a few examples ready and let you know what you need tomorrow.  Something nice and relaxed that we can all have a try at.  If you need any further information about these events do let me know.  My details are below

 

 Should you place an order during December through my online shop, it would be lovely if you would use the hostess code.  To try to get your goodies before Christmas, 9th December is the cut off date for placing an order, (even then with some delays due to covid, there is no guarantee). 

So as it is Tuesday, I like to try something a little different.  Today I am going to try and find out a little more about pinterest and how to use it properly.  No one has ever explained this to me although I have been told its a great tool for advertising and that I should use it more. 

If you would like to get in touch, here are my contact details.

I have been asked to take part in a challange of 30 cards in 30 days so watch this space.  I am supposed to pass this challenge on but I wont be doing this time.  It is a mamouth task to come up with so many different cards but as December is a very difficult month for me, it will help me get through it.

Thank you so much for reading my ramblings today.  Have a tremendous Tuesday and see you tomorrow.  Tracey x
