There is no sponsor this week and so the winner will receive a Suprise Gift... ooh I love surprises... wish I could enter!!
Hope you can pop over to our main blog at Divas by Design to check out the rest of the Team's fabulous Christmas Creations!
I'm scheduling this for Wednesday morning as I have a hospital appointment ... I'm SO sorry that I haven't been in blogland but my dad is still very poorly in hospital and so I am spending my time with him and family... I just can't get my head around much crafting at the moment... I did feel like doing a bit of crocheting the other evening and so I tried to make some flowers... the first couple looked rather like squished peas!! but after several attempts they are at least now resembling a flower shape!! LOL so I am getting lots of practice and eventually I hope to show you some flowers that I've made! :-))
Take Care all of you and I will catch up with you when I can...
