Lincoln and Ti'ms tags

Had a brilliant girly day in Lincoln on Saturday. Lots of laughs combined with a bit of shopping. I managed to get a few Christmas pressies, along with the one below for ME!!!!!!! I found it in a charity shop for just 45p. It might end up as my entry for 'Let's get Shabby' as the Advent Calendars were not shabby enough due to the girls not wanting me to add anything else as they loved them as they were.

I've given the box a couple of base coats, but am lost as to what to do with it yet. I have until 20th December, so no rush yet.

Here we are in the pub waiting for lunch. Left to right, my sister Angela, little old me, my niece Abi, Ruth and Amy.

Sam, my daughter Gina, Tracey and Rachel. Unfortunately Caroline and Rita are not on the photo's, so apologies to you both.

These are the finished Advents, as my late Dad would have said, 'the same but different'. Gina wanted black with Silver highlights and Faye Gold, so that's what I did.

Like most of the 'crafting world' I have started following the twelve tags of Christmas and up to now have kept up and finished the first two.

OK, they are not replica's, and I wouldn't want them to be, but I am having loads of fun doing them.

I've also kept up with my DDA entries, so will share soon. Off to grab some lovely beef stew and dumplings for my tea, then going to see Josh and the family at Fayes for an hour. Gina loves trimming up for Christmas so is helping Faye and Ash with theirs. Must take my camera!!!
