Hi all, and how was your Christmas? I do hope that you had a lovely time, although I'm well aware that not everyone has a happy time and I do think we all need to spare a thought for those less fortunate as ourselves and all those who have been caught by the flood waters.
We had a lovely day in the Rice household made even more special as Adam was at home (he's had to work for the last two Christmas Days).
I was totally spoilt with gifts and I must thank some crafty ladies for a gorgeous scarf, some toiletries, chocolate, craft goodies, bracelet and a plant....see, I told you I'd been spoilt...
I had a really great phone call too from my Niece to say that she had got engaged ....oh, how exciting...(I see Wedding Invitations on the horizon !!!)
The last few days though I have been nurse Mummy as Mikey has been unwell again, but a visit from my Sister and Brother in law did help....
So this year has nearly come to an end and it has been a busy crafty year....but that's the way I like it...
So here is my finale card for the year. It's one that was featured in the recent Creative Cardmaking magazine....using Claritystamps and Inka-Gold paints....
I do hope you like it .....I have just finished my next batch of samples and need to get them in the post tomorrow....as Barbara is on TV on Sunday 5th January ....oh there are some 'must have' new stamps...
Have a very Happy New Year all and I shall see you early on New Years Day as there will be a new Challenge over at the Clarity Challenge Blog...
Much love to you all.....Jo. X
