We woke up to snow on Monday morning, albeit less than an inch, but it was a bit of a shock! Alex thought it was great and happily scraped the car for us! It mostly melted during the day, but there was another flurry in the early hours of Tuesday which meant that the walk to school was a mini snowball fight! By this morning the snow was gone to be replaced by a heavy hail storm. Hmmm....I would quite like this weather to stop now!
This is my workdesk as part of
WOYWW. As you can see I am in the process of sorting my Christmas cards. There is a pile of envelopes waiting to be written in the centre of the desk, a pile of written envelopes and cards waiting to be written and my Christmas letters on the left. My trusty mug of hot tea is there to keep me going!
Crafting wise I haven't really done much this week as I have been working on the Christmas cards and letters, getting them ready to send. I don't have a lot of time outside work and this seems to have taken up most of it! I did however manage to make this little present tag using JustRite stamps pine branch, and HeroArts Christmas sentiment. I used distress inks for the background and the stamping, then heat embossed in gold round the edges, and added peel off stars and red baubles, and gold packing ribbon. I am entering this into
Kaboodle Doodles 'colours of Christmas',
The crazy challenge 'Anything goes',
Creative card crew 'Tis the season',
MTTC 'vintage Christmas' (to me this tag has a vintage feel),
Papertake weekly 'anything goes',
Tuesday Throwdown 'celebrate the season',
Gingersnap 'stars' and
Let's ink it up 'Christmas projects'. That is all from me for now. Have a great rest of the week everyone.
Love,
Caro

Ugh, snow and then hail...really don't like that! You have been busy, I really need to get the will/nerve to start writing our cards...I figure I fifteens like a chireim not going to make a good job just yet!
Hi caro - no snow for us - yet! I do love it but it can be so darned inconvenient can't it? Love the tag. I have to get my cards written tomorrow and posted. Where does the time go? Anne x
The children love the snow don't they. We just had heavy snow showers on Monday but it only settled on the hills much to my DD's disappointment.
She'd like loads of it!!!
You sound very organised with your Christmas preparations and that tag is beautiful.
Happy WOYWW

Woo hoo. I had a snow day Monday so didn't have to go to work!!! Tuesday was a delayed schedule so that was an added bonus. No more snow in our future.... bummer.
Your tag looks great.
Cheers
Lovely snowy pictures and a gorgeous tag! I hope there will always be children (and adults with the hearts of children) to continue the joy brought by snow! Far too many people only complain about how it disrupts normal life, and fail to see the beauty and enjoy the magic and fun! Thanks for sharing! Happy belated WOYWW, Shoshi #53

Thank you for playing along at Gingersnap Creations with your Starry tag!
Nice tag! Thanks for sharing with us at the Creative Card Crew.
Beautiful tag, Caro! I like how you gilded the edges -- what a fun technique. Thanks for sharing this with us at Tuesday Throwdown! :-)
A gorgalicious tag. Well done! Yay for winter. I wish it would just go ahead and snow here already. We have some but not enough to call winter! LOL Thanks for joining us at LIIU this month.
Fab tag!!! Perfect for our "Tis the season" challenge at the Creative Card Crew.
