I had saved one day out of my annual holidays so I could take the hubby Christmas shopping, oh yes, he loves me lots...not! But I did need an extra pair of hands just to tag along and carry the bags :)
So.....where are all your entries into the Sugar Bowl challenge this week?? There are very few entries so far, but I presume that you are all rushing around like headless chickens trying to get prepared for the festivities...just like I am?
But wouldn't you like to win some yummy new rubber..just in time for Christmas?
Just look at the yumminess I found on the Sugar Bowl! Coops has created two gorgeous cards following the sketch using the special limited edition stamp that was free with the last set of Sassy's. I love Coops colouring on Kraft and the different colourways..that red hair is awesome! (I always wanted red hair).
Warm Winter Wishes has been a very popular image, everyone loves these cute and cuddly penguins. This fabulous card is the entry from Eulanda, a highly detailed and totally beautiful card.
I hope you can all find just a little 'me' time to play...it's a fabulous way to unwind and de-stress!
Thanks for looking
Love Elaine xx

Thank you Elaine, those cards are just wonderful, you have such a good eye for sweet creations.
16 day, oh no, I have done nothing, one pressie purchased some time ago and my sister said take it back and get a bigger size for my nephew......its still in the boot of the car!
As another year end, I tend to look at forward and not back. This year we have had a shuffle around with design team members coming and going, its sad to see them move on but its exciting to get to know the new girls. We have such an amazing pool of talent out there that its more the merrier type of thing. The girls work hard to create for your enjoyment here on the blog, its a huge boost to them to have you comment. I know time is precious but we do appreciate you words of support and for those of you who do genuinely read this blog you will find hidden candy being sent out in secret to a few commenter's this Christmas. (All I do at work at the moment is pack up goodies to give away. )
What will next year bring, we have plans. I do not wish to become BIGGER in the sense, of new premises or more staff, I like it the way it is, I might not have 100% control but I have learnt how to delegate and that has made my job so much easier. New about our plans for 2012 will be in our Christmas day speech, it's not the Queen you'll be hearing from but the news itself is good and "she" is someone I would like you to get to know better.
that's my word count used up again *humf*, I have so much to tell you......
stay safe and keep warm

I have to agree with you Karen - Elaine has such a knack for picking out cards. I shall have to go investigate a bit more too. Now I wonder who's going to be wearing the Queen's Hat?
I don't know what has happened to time - there is definitely an elf about stealing it I'm sure............
