Hello Everyone, followers and visitors alike and I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
We are have a very dark and rainy day here in Inverness, but it's not so cold.
Thank you to everyone who visited and left kind comments on my last card, all comments are very much appreciated, especially at this busy time of the year.
I've just completed my first full, full-time week at work, and by the time Friday came I didn't know what way was up. We had been particularly busy, the run up to Christmas is always a difficult time for our clients and they can be very demanding of your time. Many of them sink into a depression as they have no one around and of course Christmas is supposedly a happy family time, but not for many people I'm afraid. Anyway we do what we can at the project, but thankfully there are lighter moments too. Thankfully, though I am off on holiday next week. Not doing much, going to Edinburgh on Tuesday with Alistair to have a look at the Christmas markets in Princess Street Gardens, so I'm looking forward to that.
I don't do Christmas stress, well, I do enough of that for other things, so giving myself a break, but in reality, I don't really have all that much to do for it, the biggest part is writing the cards; and talking of cards here is today's offering;

Hi Kate, what a wonderful card I have missed going round everyones blogs, I don't enjoy the stress of Christmas either its far too commercial and I feel so sorry for those that can't afford the luxury of it. But it will be a quiet one for me and hubby and of course Ollie this year. Hope you have a fab time in Edinburgh lots of huggles Sue xxxx
Good Evening Kate. I was in Edinburgh yesterday and it looks beautiful. You will certainly enjoy the market and see the squirrels in Princes St gardens. Your card is lovely and I think if your tired sometimes things get out of perspective a bit. I dearly hope you both enjoy some R & R for a few days at least. Hugs Rita xxx

Kate, I LOVE snowmen, so your card is just delightful to me. Love the circle sentiment and your paper and color choices too. Hope you get to rest up while your off, but during the holidays, that's hard to do.

I do know what you mean Kate - Christmas is a time of bitter sweet for me. So many people in need and I think of all the children that want Santa to visit.
It sounds like you will have a very nice holiday in Edinburgh - I do love that city and wish my husband and I could join you for dinner one night!
Your Christmas card is delightful and snowmen melt my heart too!
Happy HO(lidays!!!
