.....It's cold outside!

Brrrr...so chilly and frosty here in the UK today so the hats, gloves and scarfs are out! Had a lovely weekend and am now fully recharged for the week ahead! My husband is visiting friends on Friday so I'm going to try and get some cards done and presents wrapped so he can take them rather then me posting it all. My calendar is getting full up already...so much going on this time of year!! I need to write my Christmas cards this week, I buy my Christmas cards to send to people....it would just be too time consuming to make them all so I buy them and dress up their presents instead! What about you? Here I dressed up some Swiss Milka chocolate bars....don't they look so much prettier like this?

Great for surprise guests, teachers and stocking fillers! Hope you're having a great start to the week.

Quick Christmas Cards!!

Hi all...only 6 weeks til' Christmas....oh my! I have done my daughters stockings and some gifts are wrapped....I hope to finish everything all bought and wrapped and cards mailed out by December 1st so I can then enjoy Christmas instead of it being so hectic!!! Last year I left it all to last minute and shopping in the heaving crowds was horrendous....I thought I was going to faint!! This year it's mostly been done online and I started really early! So far so good!! It feels good to be organised for a change...the start of things to come, I'll keep you posted!

I created these 3 digital cards in my design software....super quick and easy, I then printed out and layered onto my cardstock....3 cards done in about 20 mins which is super quick for me!!

Hubby is out at football today and Molly is out at a bowling party....Megan is home with me....she has a bad chesty cough at the moment so I'm keeping her home in the warm then we are having Chinese later for tea...so no cooking for me...yay!!

I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend....hugs xx

Supplies:

Papers - All Zoe Pearn - Happy Holidays and Note to Self

You measure up!!

Hi, here's another fun little bag I dressed up! I love to dress up bags....so quick and easy! It's funny but in the pics it looks like the ribbon doesn't match but it really does...do you ever get that? Weird!

My 7 year old Molly went to a birthday party this afternoon and is off now to a fireworks display with daddy....we just had pizza and they then wrapped up warm and went! I'm staying home with my 3 year old Megan...she's not keen on the bangs so maybe next year for her! What about you? We normally go to a fireworks party at friends but they have moved country :(

Have a fun and safe evening!

Hugs, Bonnie xx
