DAY THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY - Part 2 including Derby Dabblers get together and Festive Make No. 5

 

After a pretty hectic couple of days today will be slighter slower, quieter and certainly a finishing off/catching up kind of day.    I woke up at 4am and just couldnt nod back off to sleep so I am enjoying the quietness of the morning whist writing this.  There will be a Sunday lunch at some stage but I do have to pop out and pick up a couple of orders I have placed.

The artheritis is back with a bit of a vengence, yesterday it was my left wrist and hand which caused mayhem.  I was due to drive out to a garden center to meet up with some lovley ladies but it just wasnt safe for me to drive so hubby dropped me off for part one of the journey and I got a lift to enjoy my morning.  Morning I say well, it really was most of the day, how lucky I am to have such wonderful friends.  A coffee and a wander turned out to breakfast (and pudding) and putting the whole word to rights before a bit of a shopping spree.  Just what was needed after an evening with even more friends at the Derby Dabblers Annual Christmas meal.

We had such a brilliant time, sadly, my photography skills took the night off… I was far too busy laughing at the jokes and soaking up all the chatter to remember to take many photos.

The food was delicious (in my humble opinion!) and such a lot of it and it was so lovely to see everyone.

Here are the few photos I did manage to snap, taken before the tables turned into festive chaos.

Everyone made  table favours… they were absolutely wonderful!   The sharing of them turned into a bit of choas but hay, we got there in the end.  

A little fresh air is on the cards today, got a few Christmas cards to hand deliver as well as some to pop in the post.   Here is another of my festive makes, being posted out today. 

Festive Make No. 5 

This card was crafted using a lovely combination of elements. It begins with a Stampin’ Up! Basic Gray card base, topped with a co-ordinating layer of Smoky Slate. The Basic White layer has been embossed with a textured folder to create a beautifully detailed pattern, adding depth and elegance.

A panel of Winter Wishes Designer Series Paper has been layered over the embossed background, with delicate silver thread wrapped around it for an extra touch of sparkle. To finish, three small silver embellishments add a perfect hint of shine to the lower right corner.

Are you free for an hour or so on Tuesday, 9th December why not pop into the Craft Room at any time between 1pm - 6pm.

There will be a cosy cuppa waiting as some delicious festive bakes to nibble on too and, if you fancy bringing something to add to the dessert table, it will be welcomed with open arms.  A perfect chance to swap Christmas cards, grab the new Mini Catalogue that will start in January and have a festive catch up.  

Do let me know if you hope to come along so that I can get the catering numbers right
