Jingle Bells...Jingle Bells...

Hi folks...thank you all for your concerned good wishes...the swelling on my wrist has almost gone after a little DIY cold compress and elastic bandage TLC and is not nearly so painful but the old body has now come out in sympathy...strange because I have no recollection of being run over by a truck following my spectacular "hit the deck" impression but hey maybe the memory's going too...all a bit embarrassing to say the least but let me assure you I definitely had not been tippling at the Christmas sherry...it's just another of those "shouldn't be allowed out on my own" episodes in the life of this dopey crafter.
A big thank you to my lovely buddy Polly who e-mailed this gorgeous card to cheer me up...
But hey can you believe how close the big day is now...the cubbyhole crew are definitely getting in the Christmas Jingle Bells groove...there's nothing like a sing-a-long with the gorgeous Mr Buble to make those Christmas preparations go with a swing...the Furry Boy doesn't seem to appreciate my attempts at harmonising...I wonder why!! and you'll be relieved to know that we're giving the dancing a bit of a miss for the time being.
The christmas cards are written and ready to run the gauntlet of that dreaded slot at the Post Office...am I going to repeat last year's 3D foam mistake...will they be just that teeny weeny bit too chubby to slip through requiring a visit to the bank manager with a loan application to cover the postage costs and you may need to sit down and hang onto your galluses because this "last minute annie" has finally embraced technology and done most of her Christmas shopping online at Amazon...wow how easy peasy was that...gifts galore have arrived...all I need are a few bits and pieces...some wrapping paper and this may well be a Guinness Book of Records Christmas for sure. I've had years of practice at the "last minute headless chicken" kind of Christmases and after all's said and done it always works out OK on the day...so for goodness sake...
Time to share a simple Christmas card...not bad for my first attempt at one handed crafting...

getting in some practice for today's attempt at making my DT card for December's Penny Black Saturday Challenge.
See you all tomorrow
Hugs Kath xxx
