Sketch Saturday - Sketch #26



I am going off on holiday on 13th December, so am frantically trying to get all my Christmas cards and shopping sorted out prior to this. I am heading off to Dubai for 5 days with my sister. I get back on the evening of 19th December and then my husband and I are off to our place in Spain on 20th December for Christmas and New Year. I thought that I was quite organised this year, but now it all seems like a bit of a panic. I have my aunt and uncle still here from California and they don't leave until this Saturday - so not much getting done at the moment, but it has been really good to spend time with them.

I have taken the opportunity to use this weeks sketch on Sketch Saturday to get another Christmas card done. Image by Magnolia, sentiment by Woodware, DP is basic grey Wassail and ribbon, jewels and flowers from my stash.



All our snow has now gone, but it is really cold here today.

Thanks for looking.
