What a week I have had...my Instagram account hacked by some very nasty people...Why I ask myself but there we are it took nearly a whole day to get the account closed....the fridge went on the blink and just as my weekend visitors arrived my oven stopped getting hot...oh joy....well at least I have had my 3 disasters.....
I did get time to make a couple of Halloween candy containers for the kids over the road....

they were very relaxing to make using the Tonic die set.....
I hope to be back to normal next week and I am sorry that I Haven't been round all your blogs this week, it really has been a horrid one......

this weeks christmas card....

I am just about done with my christmas cards now....It has been a fun year with lots of new stuff to craft with....

I think my favorite is definitely the tattered lace over the mantle collection ....I have had so much fun making all the different cards with it....I know it takes ages to make all the individual 3D elements but when it comes to putting them on a card they really are great....
I am away again for a few days Richard had booked to go to a couple of music concerts so we thought we would make a weekend of it and get spoilt.....
Thanks for popping by today I hope you're having a lovely weekend.......
