APOLOGY

To all who have visited my blog and left Kind Words and Hugs- THANK YOU -but I am just NOT good at this.
When I make return visits to other blogs I don't know what to do... and after having had a good gawk , I am humbled, and quietly sneak away in shame.
I am sorry.
I may learn before I die. I may die before I learn.
It could go either way.
The Good God only knows.
Jane, Carolyn and Kate (and anyone else who visits my blog) : what can I say but the following (which I owe to my extensive, catholic and dedicated reading of trashy detective fiction) :

Truly, Madly, Deeply.....
(the never-ending apology - Failures for the use of)

I have failed you!
A thousand million pardons!

May the vultures peck out my eyes!
May the desert jackal devour my flesh
And the sun bleach my bones to dust!

May a desert lion maul me!
May a herd of camels graze in my underpants!
May ten scorpions crawl into all of my cavities
And repeatedly sting me!

May diseases wrack my body
May I break out in boils
And defy science with my illnesses
May I suffer elternal flatulence
That can only be measured on the Richter Scale!

CARDMAKING AND PAPERCRAFT- DEC 08

Here are three Christmas Cards I made with Freebie (yay!) papers from Cardmaking and Papercraft.

I can NOT get these things posted right.

Match the outsides with the insides.

It's by way of an intitiative test.

You can do it!

Hint: the left side of the outside is twice size of the the right side of the outside and the inside is behind the left side of the outside, inside.

ADVENT CALENDAR

Here is my Advent Calendar entered for Draytonlady's challenge on the CB Forum.

I made it from pokey-hats (cones, cornets) like the ones my mum used to make out of newspaper to divvy out the chips or Dolly Mixtures to us kids.

I filled them with sweets left over from the Guisers at Hallowe'en.
It is hung on the wall purely for clarity of photographic effect - and the pertinent fact that this was only in the beginning of November - but I moved it to the garlanded mantelpiece and filled it with more traditional chocolates at the beginning of December.



And I went and won the challenge ! - and this is the prize from Draytonlady - lots of Crafting Goodies !
