Snowman Gift Bag!

Hello to you All, Blogging Friends and Visitors alike,

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments on my last card, everyone is so busy just now, so I really do appreciate your visit.

I hope you are all well and coping with the manic run up to Christmas, it's just so frightening to think we are almost there.

I'm fortunate that I'm on holiday, again, this is the first time I've ever had so many holidays at the one time, and it will never happen again, so I'm making the most of it.  This has come about because I was on sick leave for so long and now my holidays have to be taken before January. There is too another piece of news,  as I was going through my phased return, I knew I could never go back to full-time within this particular job, so I requested reduced hours, little thinking it could be managed, we really do need all our full-time staff, but the organisation thought about it and offered me 18hrs, just a little over half of what I do at present. So after great deliberations and looking at finances, I've accepted.   My hope is that I will be less tired, and less involved, so I begin on 1st. January.  This is really quite a big step as I've never worked anything less than full-time in all my years of employment, not even when Damian was small, however, I'm looking as it as a winding down until I can properly retire in 2017.

So to my offering of today;

Something a little different for me,  my Chior buddy Fiona, adores the Snowman, well who doesn't, so I decided to make this to put her gift into.
