Are you looking for some last minute Christmas inspiration?
Kerryanne does a lovely blog and at this time of year there are so many wonderful ideas - there is baking, making, decorating, linky parties, guest posts
well, Fee did a guest post - a monogrammed lavender sachet... so cute
(I have lavender drying as we speak!)
- she also had a give away for a voucher for a book -
you guessed it
I won
so I ordered my book and look what arrived in the post last week
I have had Sarah's book on my wish list for a while... I am so going to enjoy this.. she does lovely little projects to practice a new technique before starting a large quilt - I love that idea
there was a bit of voucher left so I topped it up and got this little book too
Fee's blog is wonderful too... full of ideas, personal insights and prettiness - it is a lovely place to visit
Thank-you Kerryanne and Fee for a lovely prize - this will be hours of pleasure to me

Thanks to my SIL Mandy for this bit of Christmas Cheer
MY NEW BOYFRIENDS !!!
I am seeing 5 gentlemen (give or take) every day!.
As soon as I wake up, Will Power helps me get out of bed.

Then I go to see John.
Then Arthur Ritis shows up & stays the rest of the day.
He doesn't like to stay in one place very long so he takes me from joint to joint.
After such a busy day, I'm really tired & very glad to go to bed with Earl Grey.
What a life!
Oh, yes, I'm also flirting with Al Zymer;
or whatever his name is. I forget !
