The Last Of The Christmas Cards
Merry Christmas crafters! I hope that you will be able to take a few minutes and pop by the blog and let me know you were here. I know it gets kind of hectic though when you are hosting a family get together, so no worries. This is the very last of this year's Christmas cards. I promise no more Christmas cards until next year's June launch! I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas (and a Happy New Year too!) All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue. I've heard weather is really bad on the opposite side of the pond, we are hoping you are both OK. Well, I need to catch up on all those beautiful samples that didn't make the blog, after all the talk about virus's and appointments last Thursday, my swollen gland manifested into a fully blown infection so I've been in hospital yet again since last Thursday on iv antibiotics, but I got home yesterday late afternoon, so I still have gifts to wrap, neighbours cards didn't get given, and my keeper hasn't got a card for the first time in 43 years! So once I've come round, I'm exhausted from no sleep, lunch is done and dusted, I'm going to have a 'nanny nap' and continue to recover with some stunning inspiration from my one and only blog. Every day of every month of the year you've inspired us through good and bad, helped us through new techniques etc every questions answered, so more than ever it's time to say "Thank you" you're a real blog friend and nothing is to much trouble, we have your launches to look forward to, new dies, new curve balls but most of all we have the friendliness of a lovely group that work to get each other through difficult times with you as Fairy-craft-mother lol I for one would be lost without all of the above, so I hope everyone here has a day of lovely memories, those I think of that we've lost due to illness are front of my mind, all those names I smile at every day, and get excited for when a new die is on its way after a new launch, so have a great day and I'll be waiting to see how many of you had a very merry Happy metal Christmas xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, wishing you, Colin and family a very Happy Christmas, and a safe and Happy New Year.
Thank you so much for all the blog post for this year, they have, as always, been amazing, and such an inspiration to so many of us crafters, it is my first fix of every day.
Everyone of these samples are a masterpiece and really deserve there place on the blog today.
Steph, sorry you have been unwell and in hospital, your home now, so I wish you a speedy recovery, and thank you for all you say on this blog, you echo everything that I would say and more. xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Happy Christmas Sue, well the big day arrives and your my first port of call as usual every day. You make so many beautiful cards and give me so much inspiration. Thank you so much. A
A very Merry Christmas to you, Sue and all those who visit your blog. What a lovely array of cards again today. I particularly like no 2 and no 4 and am intrigued as to how you made them. Thank you for taking the time to post on this Christmas morning and I hope you and yours have a truly wonderful day.
Dear Sue thank you, thank you, thank you. Everyday you bring me joy with your blog. I don't always comment, but I am always here. Love and hope for everything, have a good Christmas and New Year. Love Maggie (Bendy Yorkite) UK
Morning Sue Hope you have a lovely day and make lots of memories throughout.

4,5,8 Happy Christmas Sue - I hope that you and your family have a wonderful time! And Happy New Year too! Of today’s samples, 4, 5 and 8 are my absolute favourites, but they are all gorgeous, as your cards always are. Thank you so much for all that you do - for your designs, your daily inspiration and your generosity in providing one to one help and advice - I have learned so much from you, and am truly grateful. Lastly, I’m so sorry Steph - there are so many nasty bugs about this winter - rest up and get well soon. Colleen xx
