The best laid plans...


 I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself today,  I had a busy week of Christmas celebrations all planned , then BAM- Covid!! Missed little Charlotte's Nativity play yesterday, totally gutted about that! I have been promised a private performance as soon as I'm not infectious- she'll wear her angel costume and sing for me, so some consolation, bless her.

At least I'm not dreadfully ill, symptoms of a heavy cold, coughing and headache and a brain that feels as if it's made of cotton wool plus my glowing red nose puts Rudolph in the shade, on the bright side I should be over it before Christmas gets here!

Today sees the start of our last challenge of the year at Fab 'n' Funky, our lovely Sue has picked the theme of Christmas, so we're hoping you'll be able to join in and show off your last minute Christmas creations. I used my inks and Lavinia stamps to make a magical snow scene, I blinged up the tree with tiny gems.

Thanks for visiting today,

take care...and try to steer clear of germs!!

Oh dear Chris I do hope you are soon over COVID. Love your beautiful card such a pretty scene you have made, I bought this tree when the stamps first came out but haven’t used it yet! Glad you received your card - took quite a while though as I posted them all on Tuesday the 5th. Anyway take care and keep warm.

A FABulous scene Chris. LOve all your stamps and such pretty colours.
I came home for hols a tad unwell! Developed into a full blown cold and cough.
I felt sorry for myself as well. I have an early present of a beautiful Great grandson born last Thursday and had to look at him through the window! Still waiting for the first cuddle.

So sorry to hear you have Covid, Chris. Fingers crossed all you symptoms will be gone soon and you'll be fully recovered before Christmas. There seems to be so many other bugs around this year too.

Your card is fabulous, so magical using the Lavinia stamps for this beautiful scene. xx
