Hello Lovely peeps! How are you? I hope you are well. Well I am feeling very lucky and very thankful today - I was lucky enough yesterday to win an amazing candy from Brenda over at Floral Fantasies - its a tote with goodies in from tattered lace. I'll let you all see it when it arrives - but it was just the boost I needed. I went to see my dad yesterday with the girls - on Friday my mum had seen him and said he was really perky and much more himself but sadly we found him asleep!!! He woke up about 10 mins before we had to leave. He was okay though - I have to take confidence in him being better on Friday. We're popping in later today and hopefully will find him in a positive frame of mind.
Today I am sharing a trio of cards for the theme today at Christmas Card Club - its Christmas Carol and I have chosen the carol 'I saw three ships'. I have used a stamp from Little Claire and also brushos and distress pens.
Here's the trio ....
and a closer look - they are all, of course slightly different but you get the general idea.
We went to a wedding in the afternoon yesterday - the girls sang in the choir and i snook in to watch them - this is what they were wearing ...
they are sweetie pies - love them to bits!
Hope you have a good Sunday!
Lots of love and hugs

Hooray for you at winning that fab candy over at Brenda's. Wow, you got a good haul. Am loving your carol selection...this is one carol we don't hear all that much where I live. I like it too. Your water looks terrific, and I'll guess that was the brusho- creation. Very realistic. Wonderful colors on your trio of ships, and what a perfect idea to celebrate this challenge. Your songbirds are darling, and what pretty dresses they are wearing. I know you were SO proud. Hoping you find your Dad feeling so much better on your next visit. This is so difficult I can image. TFS & Hugs
