LET IT SNOW....Please!

It's the weekend whooopp! Nige is at work today, but off tomorrow. So off to Gentleshaw for the day, really missed them animals as we didn't go last weekend. Need some Saxon (wolfdog) snuggles lol

Anyhoos the reason I'm here today is to show you my creation for My Time To Craft. We are after guest designers so if you fancy joining us for a few months as a GDT then either email me 
shell-swinscoe@virginmedia.com  or enter the challenge & pop GDT after your name....the position will start in the new year. Also we don't have any sponsors, so you get to use your stash. Only thing you need to do is follow the theme & have your creations to me via email/Facebook on time!

The theme this week is....

SNOWMEN/MAN/WOMEN!

lol, ok so long as there is some form of snow person on your creation your good to go!


Nige got me this fabulous Snowy stamp in the sale at the beginning of this year, love it!
