As busy as Santa's Elves

Well I can't quite believe it's Christmas Eve!  The last couple of weeks have been so hectic, what with Dad being in hospital & his health going up & down the whole time I'm not certain if I'm coming or going.

I've been keeping myself busy as usual, last Saturday we were snowed in and I couldn't get to the hospital or use the tickets I had for Panto.  So I made some Tea Cup Candles as little Christmas Gifts for friends.  They really are so easy & I don't know why everyone isn't doing it!

One finished Tea Cup Candle, albeit a milky one!

I had also made some handmade lipbalms in different flavours, when I wrapped them in tissue paper & a pretty organza bag I decided to embelish the little bag with a tiny beaded Christmas Angel, sometimes inspiration strikes & you have to act upon it!

I also wanted to share a picture of a Christmas Card I commissioned from my friend at work, we're a secretly talented bunch in the office.  I wanted a special card for my other half; we'd both visited a lot of penguins this year, at Edinburgh Zoo where we watched them go for their afternoon walk, & for my birthday I got to feed the penguins at Bird World so I wanted penguins on the card. My friend Meagan made the card and it's brilliant.  My other half loves the style because it's tactile & reminds him of lego! 

All that's left now is for me to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
