It was our annual Christmas meal with the Summer Wine Gang at the weekend. OH belongs to a group of retired and semi-retired fella's that cycle. I've got to know the other wives very well and the subject of conversation is usually about Strictly Come Dancing, the dancers, celebs and the dresses. Great fun! I've been making tiny gifts of after-dinner choccies for a couple of years and this year I've used the gorgeous Spellbinders Hexagonal Pinwheel Top Box. I made them in shades of blue for the fellas and gold for us wives to match the Elizabeth Shaw Mint Crisps inside. They are extremely tempting!
Cards too!I made some cards to take with me on the Saturday and for some reason or other I stuck everything on the back of a card blank. So stupid but the old chesticles have been giving me gyp this week so I'm blaming on the infection I now have, first one this winter so not too bad and I'll be over it for Christmas. This is the back-to-front card cut up and place on a bigger card. The tree stamp is from SU from a couple of years ago and and I used the Tim Holtz extra fine embossing powder and I was so pleased with it that I have bought some more from
Cuddly Buddlys . I also used the embossing powder with the Penny Black wreath stamp.
