I'm back........

Evening everyone....wow it's good to be back blogging!
 WELL......my first and very best peice of news to share, is that my lovely son Nick, and his amazing wife Emma are expecting their first baby next April......We're so excited for them, and us, as it's our first grandchild, whoohoo! (We've known for weeks, but were sworn to secrecy....believe me, it was hard not to 'spill the beans'! )
Anyway, enough about that for now,  and onto our recent holiday......

....we had a great 2 weeks in Southern Italy, the heat was intense at times, but we survived, haha, and I only gained 3 lbs in weight, which in itself is a bloomin' miracle. Might show you some pics later in the week.....now don't all groan!

Diet started Thursday, so I'll be keeping you up to date with how I get on, in future blogs.

Although we've been home from holiday for a week, I haven't felt like doing much crafting, which is strange because I was really looking forward to getting back into my craft room....however today I got started again and made a batch of very quick Christmas cards.....probably for the neighbours,  but not sure yet.

All the same image, from Inkylicious , one of my 'most-used' stamps this year.

Some I used very chunky white glitter for the snow,.........

......others I used Glamourdust.

I bought this embossing folder off Ebay, but not sure of it's name.

The bottom part is done with a sheet of double-sided adhesive covered with Glamourdust.

Well, that's all for tonight, hope to be back tomorrow, with something a bit more 'arty'  ;)
