* I have started most of the hand made gifts and finished a few even if i haven't actually got around to sending them yet and now realising that i only have a few days to go!  oh no! getting stuck in tomorrow!

* snow and ice is everywhere damage to my car is minimal so far.... and i wish to keep it that way after my ice skating escapade this morning so christmas shopping that has not been done may not be done by friday...........  engaging thinking cap for interesting easy to create presents!!!!

* how ever on the up side I know that i am getting a new camera for christmas!!!  yay!!  so i will soon be able to take some lovely photo's to share with you all as my camera died a painful death a couple of weeks ago so apologies for the lack of pictures and posts,

* and although i have been pretty ill over the past few weeks i am now feeling slightly better (most of the time)  note to self remember to drink plenty of water so as to not get dehydrated!!!

so  for now I am just popping by to remind you all Inserted in large print so you can skip the boring but above lol

THUD!!!! what was that???

oh right sorry that was you falling off your computer chair when you noticed i had posted!!  SORRY

I have been mia this week sick kids, sick me, craft classes, stampers 10 classes...... blogging kind of dropped down the list a little but here i am!

Just thought I'd share two quick projects my ladies have been making this week they are so cute!

First we're going to start with the rudolph bag!  made out of a brown envelope!  How cool is that! and really quick too so perfect for me who is not feeling very organised right now!

if you'd like to have a go you can print out a top note pattern here by right clicking the page

rudolphs face was made with the large and small oval punches 1" 1/4 and 1" circle punches

Next is my christmas pudding last year i made ice creams this year it's puds! unfortunately i couldn't find any red bath bombs so we made a  cherry tag instead

if you like the look of these projects and would like to have a go at some fun project ideas once a month with a kit by post and would like to work on your Stampin' Up! wishlist at the same time  you should join my Stampers 10 club!

MY NEW STAMPERS 10 CLUB IS STARTING IN JANUARY!!

Wow....

How busy are you on the run up to christmas????  I just am not getting chance to draw breath so huge appologies for the lack of posts right now......... I am working on some really gorgeous projects right now how ever to blog about them right now would spoil the surprise for the recipients so you may just have to wait a little while until January to see them!

In the mean time Last year I did a little project run of the 12 days of christmas  you can view all 12 projects here 

this year i'm trying to get everything done at once ( eeek)  but I will be posting some quick craft ideas ready for christmas so make sure you keep popping back!

chocolate and strawberry

Just need some cream... love these colours together I know they aren't exactly christmas colours but .... this one was made for a birthday present..

I used the eyelet border punch pretty in pink card and ribbon and chocolate chip card too.

Pretty and simple with not too much fuss just the way i like it :)

Edited:    Liz ( HI LIZ)  emailed to ask for the dimensions for this box so i thought i would add them on here  ....

The base of the box was a 6" x 6" square scored at 1 7/8 on each side,

the lid of the box was 11cm square scored at  1" on each side which i used the eyelet border punch on

Thanks for the email Liz!
