Morning readers,
Please join me in welcoming my two latest followers, Patricia Gomez and Linda Simpson - thanks peeps, hope to see you again soon.
Well, here we are, another weekend upon us, got plans? We're still decorating - it takes us such an age as we both hate it with a passion but ... there was no putting it off any longer. Took us a day to empty and move the contents - we HAVE, however, managed to get rid of quite a lot of stuff - which will make putting the room back together a lot quicker!!! Hubs is a perfectionist and spends a lot of time on the preparation, it will look great when it's finished, in the not too distant future but (in the meantime) we're living in chaos and not inviting anyone to visit! WISH US LUCK!
I've a make to share with you today ....

I love the silhouette truck Kathy and the masked rectangle in that pretty blue with the stars makes a great background. I hope you finish your decorating soon. I am with you on the loathing of DIY, but at least your hubby sounds skilled. It is me that usually does it, being a bit of a perfectionist, as hubby does not have the patience for it, and after about 30 minutes paint drips develop...lol. Anyway hope it is finished soon. x
Oh this is super, what a great card and love the finishing touches with the decorated envelope as well. I am about to embark on decorating so Im being very good and crafting instead!! Hee hee!!! Thanks for joining in with me over on Fezziwigs Festive Frolics this fortnight, Hazel xx
Fabulous image and it make a lovely and unusual Christmas card.
Good luck with the decorating and getting straight afterwards.

Super CAS card Kathy, love the image. Good luck with the decorating - feel free to pop round to our house with a paintbrush if you want to do more decorating when you've finished. ;-) xx
Fabulous card Kathy, great stamp looks super against the starry background. Good luck with the decorating xx
Love the clean design here, Kathy and the colourful stencilled background is a perfect foil for the dark truck image.
