Farmhouse Christmas



If you are interested I thought it was time I updated my profile picture as the other one was taken several years ago. As I have just bought some new glasses it seemed like a good time to change it.

No end to the Christmas cards at the moment while I am on a roll. I bought the digital Farmhouse Christmas set from Nitwits last year in their sale and never got round to using it. I printed all these elements onto one sheet of card. I inked all the edges and raised some of them on foam pads. All I added was the black card, black cord and silver mesh.

We had a lovely day out yesterday, first going for a cuppa, half price under the eat out to help out scheme, then a visit to a cancer charity warehouse. We bought a jigsaw, 6 books, some embroidery threads and elastic, 2 wooden stamps (a PB and a Forever Friends) and 2 LPs and 3 singles. Something for each of our indoor hobbies. Then we met some friends at a garden centre and had lunch. We had free drinks with our loyalty card and half price lunches. That is our outings for the week apart from a Tesco click and collect shop on Friday. We have been for a few meals now and have carefully chosen where we go. They have all had very good measures in place so we have felt very safe. We won't be going anywhere busy like the coast nor will be going out in the evenings.

I have just got the first Christmas launch stamps from LOTV so expect to see some sneak peeks very soon.

Beautiful card, we haven't ventured out for a meal yet but hoping to do so in a couple of weeks. We are getting our daily walks in which is good way to keep fit but get us out of the house for an hour each day.
