Midweek Reminder at Marvelous Magnolia.

Good morning blogger friends.

Before I tell you about todays challenge, could anyone tell me how to get rid of the "prove you are not a robot" when commenting in blogger? It has only just appeared and I have tried to remove it but have not been successful.

 

The challenge over at Marvelous Magnolia is in its second week.

 

The challenge is Anything goes Christmas.

 

I have used Sparkly Tilda Poinsettia again as I just love this image.

 

A list of the products used and a link to the online shop will be at the bottom of this post.

 

 

I have coloured the image with Inktense Pencils and Distress Markers.

 

 

The lace and bells are from LLC and the pearl trim from The Hobby House. The berries are from Anne Marie Designs.

 

 

The Poinsettia is Spellbinders. The ribbon The Ribbon Girls.

 

 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges.

Guest DT at Inky Impressions

Good morning blogger friends.

Hope you are all well and having a lovely week. Are you all ready for Christmas?
I haven't started on my present shopping list so I think I had better get a shuffle on or there will be some disappointed people.

I am so chuffed and honoured to have been chosen as guest DT at Inky Impressions.
I love their images and they are fabulous to colour.
 

 

 

 

I have used the cute image All wrapped up Kitty. He was such fun to colour.

 

The image has been coloured with Distress Markers.

 

The papers are from Lili of the Valley. The lace and pom pom border are from LLC. The berries and cluster flowers are from Anne Marie Designs.

 



 



 

Have a lovely day and I will see you tomorrow with the challenge for Marvelous Magnolias.

I am feeling so emotional.

Good evening blogger friends.

I just has to share with you all the new addition to our family.

 

Brandon Lee was born this morning at 4.26 am weighing 6lb 1oz.

Mum and Dad are both doing well but the proud grandparents are so giddy.

 

Sophie asked early on in the pregnancy if she could be there at the birth and Jade and Scott were happy to have her there. According to the midwife Sophie was such a brilliant help.

 

Jade went into hospital Monday morning but was being sent home again because there were no signs Brandon would arrive - she just had to wait to be discharged. Her waters broke however at 10pm so Sophie drove to ours as we live across from the hospital. After speaking to Jade it was decided that there was no rush to get across. That changed at Midnight when Jade told her to she had better leg it quick time. Brandon arrived just 41/2 hrs later.

Sophie came home at 5 am just about in tears as she said it was the best experience she had ever had. She can't stop smiling.

 

 

I have now closed my craft room doors for Christmas.

The tree is going up tonight with Sophie's help and when Russ gets home we are going to have a Chinese and watch Miracle on 34th street. (The wine is already opened) - well I have to toast the new addition.

 

I am listening to Christmas Carols - they in itself could reduce me to tears. This is when I miss the Choral Society and our Christmas Concert I find them so emotional.

I will still be visiting your blogs even though the craft room is shut for Christmas.

 

With the words From Oh come all Ye Faithful

 

Yeh lord we greet thee - born this happy morning.

(nearly crying now)!!!

 

 

Thank you for sticking with this post.

Have a lovely week and I will be round very shortly.

 

Hugs Sharon. x
