(This is a scheduled post that I drafted up a while back. I am taking a short break from blogging - please see end of post)
Good morning! it's Thursday and the turn of Team B over at
and our lovely boss Hazel has chosen a theme of
'Christmas Cuties'
it doesn't have to be a card... as long as your creation follows our theme of being Cute and Christmassy!!

As I said earlier in my post - I am taking a little break from blogging. I'm very sad to say that my dad passed away last week. We were expecting it - but it has still hit us all very hard. I live with my mum, and my daughter is also here a lot of the time and so we are all supporting each other through. Family and friends have been great and very supportive. We are doing ok but feel very tired. We still have quite a lot of paperwork to sort out and the funeral to plan. This last week has seemed like a total blur but think I am starting to come around a little now. So I am just gonna give myself some time to adjust and see how I feel in a couple of weeks. Thank you for all your lovely comments - I really do appreciate them!
Meanwhile ...Take Care and I will be back with you all as soon as I feel able!
Love and hugs
