The Joys of Christmas...

Hi folks....the Christmas shopper has returned slightly battered...bruised and absolutely cream crackered after the annual ritual that we all know as Christmas shopping...you'd think we would learn from experience and at my age I have a wealth of the darned stuff...so why do I always decide to leave it until the rest of the population decides to turn out en masse to hit the shops.  It won't come as a surprise then that I have no Timmie tag to share today...by the time I limped home I was a wreck...only fit for a feet-up evening with a take-away and my Sunday night helping of Strictly but it's not all doom and gloom...the snow has gone...my boy Harry is through to the final and the parcel list has been well and truly decimated...only the food shopping to go...another nervous breakdown experience to look forward to next week...THE JOYS OF CHRISTMAS.
But before I can turn the cubbyhole into the parcel wrapping station...there is the small problem of tags lying everywhere so I've made a start on the canvasses to get them up on the wall out of the way.

And even more good news...the latest stamps from the Hero Arts 2012 launch have landed in the UK...if you're a Hero Arts addict like me and feel that you deserve a little festive treat...you can get them HERE and welcome to the "I HAVE NO WILLPOWER CLUB".
And my lovely buddies over at THE RIBBON GIRL have a fabulous give-away...
so pop on over and get your names in the hat...
Catch up with you all tomorrow
Hugs Kath xxx

    Ya know, if you should run out of wall space for your marvelous tag canvas, I'd be glad to offer some space on my wall! Glad you're recovering from the annual horror of Christmas shopping.

    I hope that today is a day of recuperation hun! Wow, your tags look FANTASTIC and they are making for one seriously stunning wallhanging. Buddy is such a lucky boy, he will get to see them every day. OK, I admit it, I have no willpower - I put in a naughty order on Saturday (grin). Hugs Sxx

    Well your canvasses are looking a lot like Christmas!

    Love 'em.

    Hope your poor tootsies have recovered somewhat.

    I'm rooting for Harry to win SCD too. Although, THAT Tango by Christina and Jason was just AMAZING. x

    Oh THAT club! Glad you survived the shopping - the tags look brilliant & I've still got some catching up on posts to do - never mind making tags. Tackling Cardiff tomorrow with husband who will be frantically ensuring no-one swipes the Mac round my neck & me with it as we go visit the Apple chaps.
    Enjoy your Hero anticipation.
