Festive Madness!!

 
Is it just me or has everyone gone "Christmas Crazy!!" I popped out for some food shopping today only to find the shops were absolutely jumping with Christmas shoppers!? I haven't even bought ONE Christmas pressie. My daughter works in M&S and she said yesterday was manic with people buying for Christmas, I must be getting old, as I have absolutely no idea what anyone is getting this year............. and absolutely no inclination to start my crazy shopping................. Do I hear a resounding "Ba Humbug" sorry I may be injected with some Christmas spirit next week!!!!!! in the mean? time, LOL I have been extremely busy with the animals, winter has well and truely settled in, the weather the other day brought mini chaos to our humble abode, the winds were so strong they managed to blow my field shelter clean into the next field!!!!!!!!!!

 

This is a 15x15 feet shelter on metal skeeds!! can you imagine the force of the wind.

Fortunately none of the animals were injured, although I did have about fifty cows in my small paddock to investigate the sheep!! Billy (top sheep!) head butted them all back into their field, it was so funny watching him set to protecting the other two girls, well done Billy you saved me a head butting or two from those nosey parkers. I hope this is not a sign of the winter ahead of us. 

So what about crafting? well...... I am still making some Christmas cards when I can find the time (HO HO) although that is in short supply, I have decided for the first time to enter Ladybug crafts Christmas Sparkle challenge http://ladybugscraftsinkchallengeblog.blogspot.com/?zx=f3c403824520947e My contribution is this card I have made for a special friend, I have decorated the inside also, can't show you it though cause someone may be peeking!!!!

I decide to go for some unusual colours to surprise this person,(always difficult to do) I love this Ruby Fairies stamp so I colourd her with prisma pencils and glittered her wings, I used Fluffy Stuff for the snow and added some paper flowers and leaves which I sprayed with Spray & Sparkle and added a sparkly brad, the adoreable border punch is from Martha Stewart, I decided to add some Swarovski crystals just to finish it off. Hope this friend likes it as I had lots of fun making it!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK I have to shoot off now to put the horses to bed and get my glad rags on, I am going out for dinner with my daughter tonight, HMM! Maybe it's on her..........this is her first wage and she is so excited, it will probably last all of 5 mins!!!!!
Have a great weekend, I have been informed by my son Adam, the "weekend starts on Friday Mum" so have a great weekend starting tomorrow, or tonight in my case!!!
