Thanks to everyone who has commented on my last card, I very much appreciate everyone's time, especially as it's a very busy time for you all.
Life has been going at a great rate of knots for me, but mainly my absence has been because I've been so very tired, very little energy, and falling asleep on the sofa after dinner, not like me at all, but then not getting sleep at night.I've not had much oomph to make cards. I know what's causing it, work, but I'm ploughing on till Christmas at least.
I had to find some energy reserves for our concert on Saturday, which I'm pleased to say turned out to be very good and well received. It was a very difficult sing with over sixteen pieces to learn, and many of us didn't feel confident at all, but thankfully as they say it was all right on the night. We are now busy rehearsing for our Carolthon later in December in which we sing all day in the local shopping centre and raise money for charity, and this year it's for Marie Curie. It's an amazing organisation whose work is outstanding, I experienced just how tremendous the nurses are when my mum was in the Marie Curie Hospice in Glasgow a number of years ago, nothing was too much trouble for them, and not only did they look after my mum, but also me. Thank goodness for them, so I hope we raise lots of dosh.
I have a card today and here it is;
LOTV Sentiment
Promarkers
Core'dination card in Navy
Hobby House Pearls
Sparkly ribbon from my box
Stickles in Icicle
This is my effort of a CAS card, I've been so inspired by all they gorgeous CAS cards made by some of my Blogging Friends that I thought I would have a go. It's not completely one, but almost. Hope you like it.
That's me, I hope everyone is well and keeping warm, our temp has gone up a bit, but is supposed to drop tonight.

Hi Kate good to see you again! It must be difficult readjusting to work after being off for a while, hopefully it will get easier for you. You are lucky to be able to sing I love singing and sing a lot in the house much to everyone's amusement I must say. Marie Curie is a wonderful cause to raise money for. My friend was a Marie Curie nurse and would go into people's houses at nights to give them a break. Your card is lovely and I think you have done CAS brilliantly, love the blue and white together.
