Hello friends
How was it? Did it go by in a blur?
I actually think the days of Christmas go faster than any
other time, it certainly feels that way.
My Christmas was lovely but involved a lot of cooking
so I'm vowing to make that a little different next year.
On the upside lots of leftovers so easy dinners for quite a while.
Here's a few pics of our festivities.
Christmas morning, cold, frosty and a chance to walk Bella.
The Hope and Chances' woodland cabin is in that little cluster
right hand side of this picture.
Bit nippy in there when I checked on everything!
Bella in her festive jumper.
Back home the tree and mantle all set.
Turkey in the oven under the watchful eye of Pixel!
Dinner is served, just the three of us on Christmas Day,
I ate my dinner in my PJ's - it was blissful!
Our eldest cat Imogen (19 this year) is in the distance,
she got an extra big bowl of turkey.
And Elliott and I checking out selfies in our Christmas jumpers,
We were playing with my Christmas gift - a Sprocket -
a little printer that bluetooth's to your phone.
More details with another blog post soon.
Now to get back on crafty track a little bit,
announcing the Wednesday giveaway winner
a bundle of two brand Jane Davenport die sets!
Mertail and ...

Now that looks to me like you had a very laid back Christmas.....I had planned to do a lot of frozen veg for me and hubby (it was just the 2 of us as usual) but in the end I did it all fresh...got it ready on Sunday...and we only had a small cook from frozen turkey joint so as that cooked the veg was being steamed and roasties roasted...and it was all very nice indeed...I do sometimes wonder though just how come I end up spending hours in the kitchen when there is only 2 of us to feed!
Hope you all have a great New Year.... xxx
Hello Christine
Glad it was a nice Christmas. and to see that little chap now has a beard!!! makes me realise how quickly time goes by!
Just me and my 2 sons for dinner, ( Carey and Taylah live in Oz, with a swimming pool!)
We didn't have frost here, but now its thick Fog!
Hope Mum is coping with everything that life has thrown at her!
Take care
Love Marg
Hi Christine! I'm happy you spent a very Merry Christmas!!! <3
Congrats to Patricia!!!
I wish everyone Happy New Year!!!
Shhh your secret is safe with me Christine .
With it being the first Christmas without Andrew we didn't want to celebrate as we normally would , I did shed quite a few tears but I managed to make a nice dinner for just the two of us , then my other two sons and families came later for some supper .
Well done to your lucky winner.

Hi Christine,
Lovely pictures, sorry you’ve had to go into work today. We had a change from cooking this year and went to our local Indian Restaurant, we had a really lovely time although we were all a bit sceptical as to whether we would enjoy it. I think we maybe booking again for next year.
Congratulations to Patrica, they are really lovely dies.
I do hope your Mum is Okay and wish her a speedy recovery.
Take care
Chris xx

So been like a zombie today lol.Hope your mum is ok & that the new year brings better health. Cheers to all Jean xx

Congratulations to Patricia. Enjoy with your Grandchildren. Glad you all had a lovely Christmas. Very quiet here. Seeing Gt grandchildren tomorrow and more family on New Years Day. That will be good. Look forward to finding out about the Sprocket. Sounds interesting.
Congratulations Patricia, enjoy your prize!
It looks like you all had a wonderful Christmas Christine. We did as well although it was a little busier than yours. (Our SIL invited us to come for a sleepover on Christmas Eve so we could be there to watch our little grandsons open their gifts on Christmas morning. What fun that was!) Then we went to our sons/DIL's for Christmas dinner. It was all very nice but tiring.
I hope your Mum is feeling better and you all have a healthy, happy New Year.
Love your cat supervising the turkey to make sure it didn't burn. He did a great job. Looks as if you had a great time. Happy New Year. x
