I know I've been quiet here so I do apologise and it will stay a bit quieter for the rest of the Christmas season as there is just so much going on at the moment!
Here's my desk this morning
And I finally got round to doing a cover for my journal. (Blurry pic but hopefully you can see it ok)
My last class for 2011 was last Sunday where we made a candle holder; here they are all hard at work.
There's a couple of days left to enter my celebration giveaway if you like, details are here and I'll be drawing the winner on Christmas Eve.
So all I want to do now is wish you a Very Merry Christmas; may the Joy of Christ's Birth fill your lives with peace and meaning this festive season and may you be truly blessed.
Happy Christmas everyone.

Ohhhh I love your journal cover Neil, it turned out fantastic. And dont apologise for being a bit blog shy lately. I think we all seem to be torn away from our blogs at this time of year...whether we want to be torn away or not! lol. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Neil and a Joyous and Craft filled New Year.

I have to say it is with some relief that I finished my last make for this year (more or less) and can turn my thoughts to the craft of cooking and baking :) Merry Christmas
Love what you made at the class - very elegant. That Union Jack stencil is going to be handy next year - my bunting is already going like hot cakes.
Hope you and yours have a fab Christmas,
