Christmas Cheer!!

I can't believe its already October & the middle of the month ...madness!!!

Anyhoos I'm here today to share with you my latest creation for 'The Merry Christmas' challenge blog. Where as always the theme is....

ANYTHING CHRISTMAS GOES

& as we are getting nearer to the date, I know that I'm trying to get on top of my Christmas card making....so why not knock another one off your list & join in with us.

I decided to make my Mom & step-dad a card, box set. I'm thinking of popping some sugared almonds in the box as I know they both love them.
