Christmas Is Coming
I've gone for an unconventional colour scheme which is probably not to everyone's taste, but I'm hoping Santa will bring me lots of little turquoise and white boxes to match ;) haha!
My preparations are almost finished, just the presents to wrap tonight and then I hand the reins over to Dean who's responsible for everything else :D I hope you're having a fabulous weekend and not finding last minute Christmas preparations too stressful!

Caring Hearts Card Drive
I wanted to share details of the Caring Hearts card drive which the wonderful Vera Yates is coordinating once again this year, it warms my heart to know that there are people like Vera and Jennifer in this world.
"We are back for the 6th year of our annual Caring Hearts Card Drive… collecting handmade holiday cards to give to those that live in nursing homes. In 2014, we collected over 17,000 cards and distributed cards to many nursing homes in US, Canada and Australia. The card drive ends November 27 - we hope you can participate! For more information, visit Vera Yates or Jennifer McGuire."

Happy Halloween
Despite being very much the way forward, I've never entertained the idea of making an instructional video because I'm a complete and utter technophobe. My first attempt isn't great, the lighting is bad, the camera needs to be zoomed in and the shadow in the top right hand corner is very distracting, but it only took up half an hour of my time (and another half hour of Jenny's) so I'm quite satisfied...

In case you're not interested in watching a poorly made video, here's the card I made...
