Hope everyone is keeping well and aren't getting too stressed with all the xmas preperations.  We've not really even started our xmas shopping yet, but we have set aside Thursday, Friday and Saturday to get it done.  Hate leaving it this late and normally we would be virtually finished by now apart from a few small bits.  At least I only have the family xmas cards left to do, now that really is a first to be that organised on the xmas card front....lol.

Looks like we are set for some real wintery weather by the end of the week here in the UK, shame it couldn't be a week behind so some of us could have a white christmas, though you never know!!!  In the meantime I hope you all enjoy the fluttering of snow on my blog, hope no one thought there was something wrong with their eyes...lol.

Thanks for stopping by and as always your comments are much appreciated.

Boy it's a bit stormy out there today.  Steve went off to work this morning in this awful weather and a mile from work once off the motorway someone went into the back of him at the roundabout.  It's the second bump on the backside this year, this one thankfully wasn't as bad, Steve was stationary at the roundabout and the van behind him broke but the aqua planed into Steve. The main thing is he's ok and the car is drivable with just some damage to the rear bumper and dent to the boot.  I have my SIL Mel coming over for lunch and a bit of crafting later this morning then this evening we will be getting a new arrival to the family, all will be revealed once it has arrived. 

Have a great day, and if you have this bad weather keep safe or even better stay in if you can, I have to pop out to do a few bits but I'll be taking doubly extra care on the roads.

Get Sketchy Challenge #5

Hello Everyone!!

Hope you have all had a lovely Saturday, the weather has been glorious here again, not over warm but very pleasant and not a cloud in the sky.  

There's another wonderful sketch to follow this week over on Get Sketchy.  The sketch to follow was landscape but I've flipped it to portrait for my card.

 

The image is from the wonderful Halloween set available over on Doodle Palace, you also get his fab halloween poem and the halloween sentiment in the set.  Coloured image with copics and watercolour pencils. The orange dp is from an upcoming new set from Funky Fairys 'Fancy Flourishes'.  Black card is from my crafting stash.  I printed the sentiment onto some of the dp.  Added orange gems to the corners of the black panels.  Below is a close up of the fun halloween poem.

 

Thanks for stopping by.
