Well... It's almost Christmas and I've been (apparently) missing in action (from this blog, at least!) for quite some time. Useless, I know. I've been chasing my tail. I've also made some Christmas cards and a photo of one is attached. It is very shimmery (water coloured with Twinkling H20s, amongst other things) and it was difficult to photograph.
I've also been on holiday for a week... we went to Boston, which was excellent. I managed to visit a Michaels store (for the first time!) which was four miles from the centre of Boston in an out of town retail park in a place called Everrett. Everything in America is so cheap with the weak dollar (it was just over $2 to the pound whilst I was there), but craft things are so much cheaper anyway. It was excellent. I even managed to pick up some Marvy Uchida scallop punches (at last!) which no doubt helped to contribute to the excess baggage charge which I had to pay on the return leg of the journey. Here's a photo of my husband doing a "trolley dash" through the car park with my crafting goodies in a TROLLEY (because the bags were so heavy!) past a mound of snow. It snowed for half the time we were there and I've never visited anywhere so cold; Scotland feels tropical in comparison!!
Lastly, here's another photo of Boston snow... this time, a view from the Copley Centre/Prudential Centre mall "link tunnel". Boston was fabulous; I'd never been before. We'd love to return.
