Merry and Bright Gnomes!

 Hello Everyone, been a wee while since I last posted here, so I hope you are all keeping well and coping with whatever tier you are in. It's getting more confusing by the day I feel, and it looks like our First Minister is going to follow by announcing Scotland going the same way. I believe it's a mistake, as it's like a sticking plaster, nobody seems to be following the scientists, and the economy is more important than lives. Of course folks are in fear of their jobs, houses and there is already so much poverty, just such a desperate situation for a great many people. It's heartbreaking, but that's capitalism for you, we need a more socialist society, where everyone gets a good bite of the cherry, that's my philosophy anyway.

So, I've got a slimline card today as I treated myself to a new die and stamp set;

  The cute gnomes are by Whimsy Stamps and the window die is too. I saw them used to make a card on Faye's blog which you can visit her here, her blog is fabulous and she is a fantastic colourist too, anyhoo, I thought I've got to have these wee guys so here they are. I've coloured them with Copic markers and fussy cut them out. I've used Card-io stamps for the trees, with a DI background, loads of star dust Stickles and glossy  accents on the gnomes boots. The sentiment is from the same set. My colouring isn't great, I've forgotten how to use the Copics, it's been so long since I used them.

Thank you for your lovely comments on my last post, as always you are so kind and I welcome them and your encouragement.

Well it's a week of injection for me, I had my flu jab on Monday and my arm is still sore and on Friday I have my Vitamin B12 injection, and on Saturday  it's the turn of my Teallach for his boosters.....that'll be a laugh..not, but needs must and it doesn't matter how much I sneak up on him he just seems to know that it's time for the vet. Mind you, I don't like injections myself, well who does, and you'd think that for someone who injects 4 times a day with insulin that I wouldn't mind all that much, but I do. For comfort I tell myself that I'm lucky to have these injections as so many in the world don't have acces to good health care.

That's me for now, steak pie for dinner tonight, mash, carrots and buttered cabbage, really looking forward to it.  Take care of yourselves and keep safe.
