All I Want for Christmas.....!

Hello Everyone, are you nearly there with your preparations?? Hope you are remaining calm and not getting too stressed. I'm pretty lucky in that I now don't really have much to do, so much so that I just wonder how I did it all whist I was still working. 
I was getting my knickers in a twist whilst wrapping up Damian, Moreen and the pet's gifts today, every piece of paper I cut was far too short. I should have just left it but I wanted to get it all done. I've been awfully tired, so that didn't help, got it all wrapped eventually, then took myself for a walk to clear my head.

Thank you all so much for the lovely comments on my last card, I appreciate each and every comment.

I've had a go at making a card using the Black Ice technique, now it's not really all that difficult, having said that it took me five attempts and burnt out my heat gun in the process, however, determined as I am, I got one I was fairly happy with, what do you think?

I've used an Inkylicious stamp, two  pine trees and a John Lockwood sentiment. Silver foil card and dark grey glitter card and of course black card. I didn't think it required .any other embellishments. It was difficult to photograph.
It's Alistair's Christmas card and I'm happy to say he loves it. I think I need more practise, as it seems to EP seems to bubble on the foil, but maybe it just does. If anyone knows different let me know.

The Choral society have been invited to sing a carol concert on Friday at the UHI, University of the Highlands and Islands, Campus which is just down the road from where I live.  The university will donate money to our chosen charity that we did the Carolthon for.  It will be into the New Year before we know how much we raised for that. That will be the last sing for this year, but I do like Christmas carols. 

I hope you are all well, but I know there are a few Blogging Friends who are going through difficult times just now, so sending out healing thoughts to you that you find a measure of comfort and peace.

That's me for tonight, time for a cuppa and a mince pie...of the Christmas type, take care and see you soon,
