I've been super extra busy over the weekend doing a job which is not for the faint hearted let me tell you...the annual CubbyHole Pre-Christmas Tidy up...the problem lies in convincing my old crafty Mum aka The Queen of Hoarders to get rid of stuff...if I had a biscuit for every time I heard the old "well it may just come in handy"...I'd be looking rather roly poly by now.
So here we go girls
Fiskars Paper Trimmer
20 Cards & Envelopes from Craftwork Cards
3 sets of Spellbinders Nestabilites
Chipboard Book
and a bumper bumper bag of ribbons
and all you have to do to enter is leave me a great big festive hug before 8pm on Christmas Eve....I'll be back on Boxing Day to announce the lucky winner.
I've been told we are having a big Christmas Cookathon day so I've bagged my place right next to the oven and I'll be snoozing with one eye open and my nose fine tuned for any tasty treats but the downside is... no doubt Mr Buble will be gatecrashing our little party...oh yes it'll be Jingle Bells...Jingle Bells all over again.
And after our chilly morning stroll...
Big Snuggly Hugs

Hi Buddy "Lots of hugs for Christmas" & "many more for the New Year"oooo Elainec
Thanks for a chance to win your Candy Buddy, big hugs from me and wish you a fabby Christmas with your Mum/ Carolxx
Bet you're loving all that snow - it does seem to send you doggies into a major sniffing frenzy! Unfortunately it takes some serious persuasion on our part to get Max out in it in the first place (he doesn't do the cold, you know). And then when we do get him out we can't get him back in again.
PS - this is just me leaving a little comment for you, not for your lovely blog candy. I really think Santa should take the goodies to someone with MUCH more craft storage space than me. LOL!!
I love the pic with your noggin warming hat, my poor Jack has an Elizabethan collar on an is bashing into everything, I am trying to think of how to make something to wear that would be more comfortable, have you any crafty ideas but no glitter required. Seems we are all in tidy mode just now I have been trying to spruce up the old place. Thank you for the chance to win these crafting treasures. Laura
You always look so handsome Buddy, but your Christmas hat just adds a little something to your gorgeousness. Hope you get lots of Christmas treats and wishing you and your mum (and dad) a most wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year. Hugs : ))
Oh my goodness......I just want to give that sweet buddy kisses all over! He is just the sweetest Santa I've ever seen! I just recently found your blog and I have to say that I look foward to reading your adventures! You and Buddy pt a smile on my face every time!
Merry Christmas to you and Buddy!
I think that is too precious I showed the give away to my fur babies (my guineas) and they both send their warm hugs to you with a big fur baby back rub...... wishing you and yours Merry Christmas and a Merry Crafting too.... and too all a good night
Ear scratches and belly rubs to you, Buddy. You're a terrific blogger. Merry Christmas!
Aw Buddy you look such a handsome chappy in your festive hat!!
XOXO
