Where's the sunshine gone :0( not a happy bunny

Well after our fabby weekend away,  my sore bits aren't quite as sore today thankfully, it was driving me mad. Anyway wheres the blinkin' sun gone? Its bloomin' freezing here today, I got my fluffy boot slipper thingys back on because my little toes are soooooo cold...

Anyways on with my lastest card, I thought a Christmas card was quite apt for the weather today...lol I know its only cold but the difference from the weekend is unbelievable...

I tried everywhere last year to get this little man, but I only found him at a silly price. But just after Christmas I found him on Glitterpot (they've still got a sale on some stamps are only £3) and he was half price, think I only paid £2.25 or something like that.

I used two of the last colours I brought,  for his jacket, &  I think they are yummy together.
