As I write this, news had just broken that further restrictions had been imposed on London and South East England. In short social mixing between households had been curtailed – cancel Christmas! Fortunately for us, we’d planned on spending it by ourselves. We did not want to take any risks. My heart goes out to […]

How was Christmas for you? I hope you all had a good Christmas and Boxing Day. Let’s not dwell on what could not be by way of meeting up with loved ones this year. News of a vaccine being available in the New Year is progress to normality at last! Something else to look forward […]
Fancy Fold Card Peaceful Nativity
Happy Christmas, or is it Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas? It’s funny isn’t it, that even though it’s “English”, there are still cultural differences depending which side of the “pond” you’re on! Anyway, where-ever you are, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and hope that you are well, and staying healthy and happy. I […]
Bespoke Box Snow Wonder
It’s crazy isn’t it? After the year we’ve had most of it spent incarcerated at home, how does it seem possible that when the whole year seemed to drag, here we are with Christmas just a couple of days away and the end of the year is nigh! I’ll be sad to see this year’s […]

I found these miniature bottles of rum which were perfect for cocktail mixes, and of course, ideal as a stocking filler […]
Gift packaging Sweetest Time
The taste of American chocolate is definitely different from European chocolate. I can’t really put my finger on it. Suffice to say, when Christmas approaches, I do like to have some Hershey Kisses. These aren’t readily available in our local Supermarkets, and I have to order them especially at enormous expense as they are American […]
Simple cards with Dove of Hope
It’s surprising that even being in lock down for most of the year, we’ve managed to creep into December. In the UK we have had restrictions lifted over a five day period for Christmas. Practicalities prevented our family from taking advantage of it so sadly, we’ll be on our own this Christmas. I hope you’ll […]
