Ran out of batteries

Imagine if you will a Rolf Harris voice "the poor little Sheila didn't make it". Yup another chicken is no more. it is not the runt of the litter Windle Poons either but Duracell who suddenly began to pine and then went to the big hen house in the sky yesterday. Ack. Still her last few weeks were much happier than the rest of her life so I suppose we can draw comfort from that.

I had a lovely time with Kathy once I arrived. I went a different way - now known as the wrong way and so ended up being rather late (not helped by an enormous traffic jam). Still we had plenty of shopping time. I was very restrained with just a new white pen, a paper storage bag, some brads and a perspex stamp mount to my name. Though I am going to the Stitch show on Friday so may get more goodies then!

I now know something about studying at MA level. ie it is hard and you have to think for yourself.

Then home to have pizza and a dvd. Carys chose "blood and chocolate" (we had to go to the DVD shop thanks to the postal strike). It is about Werewolves and is not bad. About 7 out of 10. It managed to be a bit spooky but is a 12 which means they hid the worst of the violence. Jolly good show.

And I finished my Salt layout for the week and most of my Daring Card for Friday. That is so organised. Partly because of everything else I have to fit in! I also squeezed in the Little Extra for the week

Christmas Words

We'd like you to use Christmassy words on your card, not just in the sentiment but for this challenge the word/s should form the main focus of your card
Craft Robo cut out letters (Cafe Rojo font) BG fruitcake. The middle of the o makes a lovely tag!
I used a ribbon punch to add the ricrac. Inked and outlined letters and backing with "to the world" written by hand using a Glaze pen. The O is raised on sticky pads.
Simple but effective IMHO. This may just be my card for this year! (only another 70 to make then...)
