Evening everyone
Firstly thank you for all your kind comments! They totally made my wee day and cheered me right up! I'm still a wee bit "under the weather" but feeling much better than yesterday! It was just the pain than got to me, but didn't want to disappoint with no wee post!!

Anyways, its nearly here hee! Only 6 more sleeps then CHRISTMAS hee! I'm so excited!! Cant wait for my wee hubby to open his wee gifts and then spend the day with our wee family! I cant wait hee! My brother is on his way up as I type!! Fingers crossed the train makes it, the snow is bad and the train is already 2hrs delayed! Cant wait too see my BIG bro hee!!

Anyway, enough of my hyperness! i wanted to share the last of my cards I made! Again I made 3 of each of them and sent to some of my lucky fiends and crafty lil friends too!

I would like to enter these into some wee challenges

Allsorts, Sugar Sweet Paper Treats, One Stitch at a Time and Creative Inspirations

Today we didn't do much as the snow was back, was coming down like cotton wool from 11am today and hasn't stopped! Hubby is hoping it'll stay off just one more day so he can get his ast day of work finished!! Then he says the snow can fall as much as it wants!! heee cant wait to have hubby off all to my wee self!!

Its nearly time for a wee movie ........... Harry Potter!! Yes I'm really that sad!! I've only seen the 2nd and the two last after reading all the books last year from the wee library! I fell in with them! Its just an amazing lil fantasy story! Lucky lil me got the whole boxset from my lovely bro last year for Christmas and have managed to re-read them maybe 5 times so far hee!

Ok enough of my droning on!

Have a great night everyone and thanks again for all the kind comments!

Hugs and Kisses

Hey all

So so so sorry but no post tonight!

I'm really bad tonight, the pain has been so bad that spent most of the day in bed after being up all night with the pain! I'll save you from all the horrible details but sickness and fainting just makes you feel dreadful!

Sorry everyone!

" What is your Favourite Christmas Memory?"

Oh now that's easy for me! My fave memory is waking up on my 1st Christmas with my hubby! It just felt so special! Waking up with that one person who loved me for being me, all mad, covered in glitter, foam pads squares and everything!! Yeah so soppy I know but that's me! The next was other 1st Christmas with the Dog! It was so crazy, paper everywhere and trying to run out before the puddles appeared! She was only 8 weeks hee!

My earliest memory is of walking into our living room when I was around 6 to find a Wendy House for me hee! I fainted twice that day! Once when I seen my own "house" and when I opened it to find it full of presents hee!!

What's your fave memory?? Was it with your Children? What about your earliest memory??

Well its time for a nice hot tea and wee biscuit before a good movie!

Have a great night
