Merry Christmas to You All and a little Advice from a Snowman!

Hello Everyone, I hope you are stress free and looking forward to this Festive Season. 
I'm on track, gifts all wrapped, finished that off today and made sure I cut the paper to fit this time. Just a little food shopping to go and that's it.

This is my last post till the New Year, having a wee break from crafting and blogging, but I wanted to thank you all for your continued support in visiting and commenting, I really do appreciate it, And for the lovely cards that I've received from some of you, such kindness.

It's such a busy time, and happy time for most of us, but for many Christmas  is a sad time, for lots of many reasons, many of my former clients just dreaded this time of the year. We just have to look at the news to see how difficult it is for some folks, and it's getting worse.  I count my blessings that I have my health, family and friends around me. It's a time to remember those who are not so fortunate.

I have a little advice from a Snowman to help you keep calm and carry on,

Wishing each and everyone of you a Peaceful and Joyful Christmas and a New Year filled with Health and Happiness.
Take care of yourselves and see you in 2019

Thank you so much for all your visits and the lovely comments you leave, I really do appreciate it greatly. x
