To All My Lovely Friends (plus Advent House done)

To those of you who saw my previous post regarding Lotta - she is making some improvement - just heard from her Grannie that she is out of intensive care - thank you so very very much for all the prayers.  I do believe in the power of prayer.

Yes, at last, the Advent House is finished.  Typical "S" Law - the buttons arrived yesterday so I have used some of them but not all. Moved a couple of things around so I could use some.  Now want to make another one - wonder if Andy and Sam would like one next year?

So here are my last windows:

Number 20 has a Distress Background spritzed with water to give those lovely dots (managed to stamp a candle so a big dot surrounded the flame).

Number 21 is Wrinkle Free Distress with the Bandana technique and my lovely Santa in a sleigh which is another Jo one.  (Check her blog for some candy)

22 - is Resist and there's one of my new buttons - a cute penguin.

23 - Shattered Glass for this one with the third German Mouse musician.

24 - Brayered background and the number from a peg which I got in Germany.

Got to show you one or two changes since my buttons arrived (hope I am not boring you)

She replaced the caroller

This window was looking bare

These cuties took over from the little angel

This needed something - candy canes anyone?

This was looking bare

And now the whole thing - you will see I did manage to put some of my new buttons in and I moved one or two things (angel and caroller) to another slot.  I love my little Santa in the chimney (thanks to the German market) which him indoors was not sure about but now thinks it is "perfick".

Some close up views (although you can click on the pictures and get a bigger one in another window)

Still got to make a Christmas card for my son and dil and one for the better half.  Got to ice Andy's and Sam's cake as well (we will just leave ours a plain fruit cake I think), make some decorations for the table for tomorrow but all presents wrapped up, cards displayed at last and I am sure there will be other things (like finish my Timmie Tags), yap on the phone etc.

Well, it's almost here so I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Thank you so much to all of you who have left comments over the year, they mean so much - and a special big thank you to all my lovely followers.  It warms my heart to see when someone has linked to me.  May you all stay safe and well, I love you all.
