penguin takes centre stage and charity shop goodies


I have a few more Christmas cards to share with you again. I am really pleased I am getting more of these made now. I have used one of the new images from LOTV coloured with Copics. The paper is Wild Rose Frosted Lace. I used various tree dies, Tonic snowflake punch and a Crafter's Companion icicle die.

We went out for breakfast yesterday at one of our favourite independent cafes which was lovely and half price. Then we went to the station charity shop which has now reopened. They only sell music, dvds, books and jigsaws and we never come away empty handed. Yesterday we spent £16.50 but look what we got for our money.


Set of 4 jigsaws


An unusual shaped jigsaw


3 books to add to my ever growing pile to read


Lots of lovely vinyl records.

Quite a haul from the charity shop Marianne, I love to get books from them, especially poetry which (shame on me) use to stamp into. Not yet ventured to a shop though, still working up courage.

Love the brightly coloured card today.
