Evening Ladies 🙂

Thought i had better pop in and say hello 🙂

Just got back from shopping, left oh trying to invent space in the freezer ( its only an undercounter one ) not enought room in there to swing a cat dog loaf of bread.

Merlin looks organized, love the sweety boxes, are you all wrapped up and done now Merlin ?  🙂

I used to love filling the sacks & putting them at the end of their beds for when they woke up, I cant do that now, i have to pile everything on chairs & in the kitchen, son wouldn't appreciate me sneaking in his room now lol, and i dont fancy trying to sneak into daughters house, i would become the dogs dinner :^O

[****merlin*****]

yup all done
christmas can happen anytime now

i actually had to look at my phone today to see how far away christmas was
no concept of time what so ever

I thought seeing as I don't make much in the way of decorations any more I'd show you these that I made years ago and drag out every Christmas.

[ilove2patch]

Doesn't the big red No8 at the top of the page help? lol The sacks look amazing as do the sweeties.:-D

[chickengrandma-2008]

This one is made of wood and is 3D. Each of the toys is sitting on the shelves.

[****merlin*****]

There lovely chickengrandma, well worth getting out every year.

I have a Christmas Donkey ...

[chickengrandma-2008]

Santa is made of plaster.  I prefer the wreath too and enjoyed making it but my eyes and shaky hands can't do it now. No it's not the brandy that causes it!:O

[chickengrandma-2008]

Aw that's cute CK. Are you making the whole nativity scene?

[hiddengems2010]

CK - Aww reminds me of the carol, little donkey little donkey on the dusty road 🙂

[cat-knitter]

I made one a few years ago CG but it takes up too much room so has never been displayed 😐

The Donkey's for someone who ...... likes Donkeys :^O
