About Me

My name is Anne-Marie and I hail from Bolton, Lancashire. This is my first foray into blogging. I hope to record what inspires me and anything that makes it past the drawing board!. I recently retired and so have lots more time to play.

Day two - What has Colin been up to?

Colin has been busy . This is magic to show us that he
 would like us to put up the tree I think!

That lady in the bauble looks familiar . 
Where is Colin?
You had better ask Grandad to look for him tonight. 

Colin has already made himself at home!

Colin is looking out of the window. We haven't got our tree up yet but some of our neighbours homes have. We did get a card from Millie. Her tree is fabulous! Colin hasn't moved since we brought him home. The parcel he was bringing on his sleigh has found it's way to Millie x

Who is in the tree?

Grandad was surprised to find an elf

Christmas Crafting !


Would like to have started earlier as I had several ideas. Hoping to decorate the main tree in the foyer at work in the shabby chic style. I plan to have lots of beads, bling and vintage items.
I purchased some paper cache bird houses and have made some fabric hearts from my stash.
These have been more fiddle and time consuming than I thought but I have made a start .

Hopefully my toothache will do one and the root canal work will render me bright eyed and bushy tailed ! Not my best week.

Have to finalise plans for the elf on the shelf tomorrow  so should be kept busy.
