Festive thanks to all

Thank you to my family and friends for making Christmas 2015 a very special time. 







We always have the snowmen candles on our cake - they have been there for over ten years. They are never lit though as it doesn't seem right to melt them :) 

This year I baked a square cake and used the tree cutter Lindsay gave me in my Meet Up Goodie Bag :) 




Some of my beautiful gifts; gorgeous threads, fabric, perfume, notelets, mug, a bespoke key ring and a beautiful kit. 

Thank you Maggie, Barb, Brenda, Christine, Angi & Gill





I also received some very special gifts - thank you, I was very touched by everyone's kindness. 

Beautiful wine stoppers from Barb and her clever Hubby
Stocking from Cathy from across the sea
Beautiful ornament from my American friend Dusty
Such kind words from Julie
An amazing Christmas Pudding from Lindsay
A special gift from Niki

And a very special gift made by Lindsay and sent from my very special friends at Needlecraft Haven; thank you so much Lindsay, Julie, Angi and Gill



















Wishing you all a very happy NEW YEAR with many happy moments in 2016 !!

Looks like you had a lovely Christmas and were truly spoiled! I ordered some new scissors to co-ordinate with my lovely beaded scissor charm so I'm very happy too!
