Santa Is On His Way! All Covered In Mud?

This is a pic Nige took yesterday, I couldn't believe how warm it was!

Picture this if you will, Nige has got hold of Charlie's lead, the girls & myself are further back up the hill...now this hill is really steep & covered in leaves (wet leaves) with mud underneath....who fell over & got plastered in mud lololol Nige did, oh I so wish I had the camera not him...he seemed to slide for ages before he fell landing on his elbow, so he didn't land on his camera....I was more worried about me dawgy getting 17 stone landing on him ....poor boy look scared silly with his tail between his legs...but we did laugh, lots!!!! It was a gorgeous walk at Consall the only thing was we had to go up & down 200, yes we counted 200 steps & I'm sure they were made for giants lol....now I know I'm gonna suffer today, already got my hot water bottle on my back hoping it will help ease the ache, not sure if its arthritis or from laughing!

 Some of you might remember we brought a new car at the beginning of the year, well when we had it I thought it was soooooooo ugly & looked strange! I called it my
 'Ugly Bug' so my fab hubby decided to get him, his own name sticker lol!!

Well on to this week at MAWTT we are sponsored by LA LA LAND & they have some gorgeous images & the winner will get to chose 3 images!!

We were lucky enough to get one to play with, I had Santa Marci she is soooooooo sweet!!The theme this week is to make a card for a child, that can be Birthday, Christmas anything really as long as its for a child!

Not quite sure which had more glamour dust on Marci or Charlie Dawg, daft thing always wants a cuddle at the wrong time lol!!
