I hope you all had the most fantastic Christmas :) Our's wasn't as bad as we expected it too be. Yes, there were 
when certain pressie were opened, when we turned and expected Dad to be sat in the chair, when we remember their was someone special missing :( But there just had to be 
ing too ... mainly at my expense!
We let off a 
shaped 
for Dad, Christmas morning, that had us all in a panic and fits of laughter, when we thought it was going to get stuck on DD's TV aerial on the roof :) ... we also decided that we'd let off 2 Chinese lanterns in the evening ... Rylee likes to send his Great-Grandad a light so he can see ... 
, we lit it and sent it up .... it hit next doors wall and ended up stuck in a bush burning merrily away 
... the neighbour had left for Tokyo for a month that morning, which was pretty fortunate as I was trying desperately to climb her 3 foot wall 
.... Koree (1 year old grandbaby) found it hysterical, although we're not sure if it was cos everyone else was 
at me! I did manage to save the burning bush and extinguish the lantern. The other lantern went up without a hitch and floated off to Dad

I had the unfortunate job of making a sympathy card, worse still it was for a stillborn ....
I used the Stitchy Bear image "In His Hands" which I thought fitted the bill perfectly ...
.... and a close up of the coloured image ....
To make this card I used ....
