It's a quick dash by my blog today before we head out to cricket practice. On the plus side, it's half term...yay...I have a week off work and the kids have a week off school...we don't have a week off from cricket though!
I have a card to share today using one of the images from Lili of the Valley's latest release. This is ....Oliver Studying.

A little bit of Christmas

Good Morning Everyone, 
What a weekend. The kids cricket matches have well and truly taken over my crafty time. On Sunday Tom had a match at the other side of York at 9.30am and Emma had a match in Goole at 12pm.....We finally arrived home at 7pm!! No clean school uniforms, no Sunday dinner....no crafty time!!
Here is one I made a while ago. This time no colouring required - just a lovely image from one of the Hunkydory Little books!

The background papers are First Edition - I've used Creative Expressions poinsettia die and Lili of the Valley sentiment tags.
