Lovely donkey cards Denise. I'm sure they will fetch a few euros. I saw them online..they look so sweet.
Susie..what a sweet child Grace is.. So cute..I did laugh at her non-smiling photos..sort of thing my DS2 would have done. I have a phot of my two at school which I always carry in my purse (now hidden behind others mind you) of them together, with my DS1 with a cold sore and a gappy smile and then DS2 grimacing for England. I love it..it was them as I remember them best.. Some happy memories
At DS1s wedding they sneaked away to recreate that photo.. dS2 Gurnied and DS1 (who wears false teeth because some of his second teeth never grew) took his teeth out to make it look similar...and I love it. Every time I come across it, it brings a smile to my face. I'll have to see if I can find them.
No card making for me this month I'm afraid.
They are gorgeous Ellie and each one is so different.
Elaine, I know exactly what you mean about the gurning and grimacing. I also feel they are trying to figure out their smile. When they're babies they just smile but then as they become toddlers we are all saying smile and I swear they don't really know what they're supposed to do and that's when you get the weird faces whilst they are trying out different smiles. Grace has done some awful smiles whilst her brother just overdoes it completely, you know, the fake smile. I think that's why it is so great when you capture those really happy, natural smiles and I have some great photo's of them doing just that, usually when they are hugging each other, just before he tries to kill her that is!
Lovely to have that home made touch. I was thinking of trying to start early this year so I can take more time with my wrapping, it's usually very last minute and one mad dash !
I remember the LO you did last year showing all the wrapping paper Alison dont know why I mentioning that oh yes christmas tags
They gorgeous Ellie all so different like the sparkley snowflake and the sentiments the top two red green colours are my type of colours though the christmas bayuble is nice too they all unique well done
Yes Elaine you must show us sometime dont worry no card making but its still nice you pop in
Wow..they're beautiful cards Alison.
Very pretty tags too Ellie.
I normally like to spend a lot of time wrapping and making everything look pretty too. I normally do them when DH is on nights so I can make as much mess as I like. I find the inexpensive shops like Matalan do really good paper at not too much money..and they usually have lots of co-ordinating accessories too..three for two deals always suck me in too! Lol. Last year I got some lovely stuff from Sainsburys. I like to match all my presents for each person and then give them to them in a pretty gift bag.
Here is some of my wrapping for a couple of swaps I was involved in last year here on UKS.
