Morning readers,
Right, with just three more sleeps till Christmas ... trees up, Cards all sent/handed out, presents all wrapped and mostly gone to their forever homes, fed up of turkey already and stuffed to the gunwales? Yes, me too!
OK, right .... so this is NOT a turkey but you can see where my head is at!! This was the ATC I wanted to make - I TRIED using a fab penguin in a rubber ring from The Cats Pyjamas but my heart wasn't in it and I decided to just give in to my instincts - I love this make!!

- Sakura white gelly roll gel pen used to doodle (and colour in) the border
I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
And then I decided to crack on with some tags for birthdays in 2019 ... as part of my attempt to reduce my environmental footprint I shall be using brown paper to wrap my gifts in the coming year and bought some kraft tags to embellish ... I think these will look pretty neat with kraft wrap and bakers twine ...
