Merry Christmas

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Day with all the family - 16 of us for Christmas Dinner this year!
I opened my last advent gift too:

As you can see it contained gorgeous alphas, veneer butterflies and lots of add ons from the Hello Again range. It is very generous Sandra and I love it - thank you very much.

On Christmas Eve...

My Santa gave to me...

Bazzill cardstock to match my Hello Again papers – perfect - thank you Santa.
I have absolutely loved my advent present and am thrilled with the gorgeous papers, card and embellishments Santa sent. I loved my extra bits too - my candles and chocolate. It has made December a much brighter month to have a lovely gift to open every day,
Tomorrow is the last day of course but just look how pretty my 25th present is:

I am being very good and hardly poking it or shaking it at all!
I don't think I will be able to update tomorrow as there are a lot of people relying on me for their turkey but I will take a photo and upload my last advent pressie very soon
Thank you again Sandra and Merry Christmas xx

On the 23rd Day of Christmas...

My Santa gave to me...

Carta Bella Hello Again papers to complete my collection. I am really thrilled with these and can now plan a mini album or set of pages using our holiday photos from earlier this year. The colours are perfect for outdoor activity and beach photographs and I have a lot of them to scrap! Thank you Sandra xxx

On the 22nd Day of Christmas...

My Santa gave to me...

Little crochet doilies by Kaisercraft in my favourite colours. 

Poor Sandra, I fear I am a bit of a nightmare to buy for: I like bright colours but not acidic-bright or primary-bright. I like classic but not grungey, vintage but not pastels and embellishments but nothing too lumpy! So in, other words, these are perfect!

Thank you Sandra xx

On the 21st Day of Christmas...

My Santa gave to me...

Some gorgeous Hello Again papers. I hadn't seen the one with cute speech bubbles before - they are fantasic and great colours. Thank you Sandra xxx

On the 20th Day of Christmas...

My Santa gave to me...

I love Yankee Candles and today's gift also really made me chuckle. There is an ongoing debate between Sandra and I: Ginger versus Caramel. Now it is obvious to most sane people that ginger flavoured and ginger scented things are superior in every way to their caramel counterparts but (out of pure stubboness I'm sure) Sandra just won't admit this. I have to say that the caramel candle is almost as gorgeous smelling as the ginger but this doesn't mean that I admit defeat :)

On the 19th Day of Christmas...

My Santa gave to me...

Some more of the gorgeous Hello Again collection by Carta Bella. I actually have some perfect photos for this paper already - DS learning archery and DD playing darts. Thank you Sandra xxx
