I thought I would share with you all the fab Christmas journal I am doing I made the book at Running with Scissors with our very talented Tracy. This is the front cover.

This is the first page I love this Cuttlebug template.

I made this very simple card using the same cutlebug template.


This is my first completed page. Yes i know it is now the 7th I'm a Little behind but I have been putting post it notes in my journal of ideas I have to do at a later date.

Saturday was Katie's birthday below is the necklace I put together for her.

We went to the cinema to watch the Christmas carol in 3D it was great fun and Nicky brought lovely cones of sweets think I enjoyed them as much as the kids.

Sunday was a proper lazy day I managed to stay in my PJ's all day.

I did make a start though on the Christmas rapping.

What I great week! Sunday was mum's Birthday dinner with some great family and Friends.

A great time was had by all.

Monday night the fairy's come they put up the Christmas tree and hung 24 small stockings on the fireplace. As long as Elizabeth is a good girl the fairy's come each night and leave a small gift for her.

Tuesday I finally finished the scenery for the school Christmas play .
I had a lovely lunch with a very good friend & came home with our first Christmas presents. Thanks Sharon! x
Friday morning I went to my scrap booking class at Running with Scissors witch was great as always! and then to lunch with some great mums from school. New house looks great Jude x

Were now Saturday morning and Elizabeth is busy sorting her wardrobe so she knows what she wants to wear for Katie's Party today.

One of the most special things I have to share with you this week is Elizabeth's Santa letter.

Dear Santa

I would like please for Christmas a bath bomb factory, crystal oasis, perfume lab, anything girly fashionable and different colours, new wii games and all my family well together and happy.
P.S Thank you for taking time to read my letter.
Love from Elizabeth France xoxoxo


God bless that child xx

Well I have to be honest getting ready for the School Christmas fair was hard work but was made all worthwhile when you sore all the children having so much fun.
I had my own stall with lots of cards & jewelery i had made. I also designed & made some lovely items for the P.T.A craft stall.
The marshmallows were a great hit I had made 30 with a little help from Elizabeth and I think had if I'd made 60 they would all have sold. They were simple to make and looked great! I started by separating the pink marshmallows from the white. All the pink ones were dipped in milk chocolate and the white were dipped in chocolate & then hundreds and thousands. Once they were dry I laid them in a long line one pink followed by one white till there were 9 they were raped in clear film and a little ribbon tied at each end.

The fudge was a little more difficult but worth it, very scummy! I bought some clear sweet bags from the Internet for these and again tied with ribbon.I made three different flavours all based with chocolate then added nuts, cherry's or apricots.


So after a busy Friday (apart from the lovely pre fair lunch :-) thanks every one) I didn't do much yesterday at all apart from get this card ready for mum's birthday. Love you mum x


The tag comes out of this card so you can use it as a book mark.

Wow what a great couple of day's yesterday Elizabeth preformed st Sheffield arena with young voices it was fab.
Then today an already very proud mummy got even prouder when I received Elizabeth's school report.
Quoting her form tutor: "Elizabeth is an extremely pleasing girl who is a pleasure to teach at all times. She always tries her hardest and is willing to learn from her mistakes. She can always be relied upon to help when asked"
I don't think as a parent you could ask for much more than that.

Below is a picture of my special girl.
