A Sneezy Break



AAaaaaatisshoo!

Sorry, no craft again today, I've got a stinking cold! Bah!  Woke up with it yesterday and  I have got a red nose to rival Rudolphs!  We still went to my sister's house in Milton Keynes yesterday and enjoyed a fun-filled catch-up in the two days.  I even managed to pop into Hobbycraft on the way back.  Couldn't miss an opportunity to get a few more crafty goodies that were on sale, cold or no cold! ;-)

How was your Christmas?

Hope you all had a good Christmas and are continuing to enjoy the holiday.  I was going to put my Christmas day photos on yesterday but fell asleep!

Mmmmn Choccie!

The homemade chocolate snowman (left) was popular.

Christmas for us was just our family of four at home (my inlaws have gone to the Phillippines) and of course, the concentration was on the boys...

...and their presents..

..the highlight of which was this Lego Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle.

We also went out sledging.  This was the temperature as recorded in our hire car:

But great fun was had on the slopes:

..and yes, even I went down!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

We're off to visit my sister and her family in Milton Keynes tomorrow and will be stopping over, so there will be no post tomorrow.

Look forward to seeing all your seasonal pictures!

Thanks for stopping by,

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

Just to show you I did do a craft today - on Christmas Eve - I handwrote all the labels on my children's gifts and put christmassy themed stickers on them.

Have a fabulous day today!

Back soon,
