Just a few more examples of my Xmas cards

My attempt at Xmas cards

As promised in my earlier Blog here are three examples of Xmas cards I have made for colleagues at work. The jury is out on if I'm a match yet for wife Hazel's creative ability.

However in our joint opinion we are still not up to the master or should that be mistress of the ultimate card design our very dear friend Lesley. Check out what we mean by looking at a wide selection for different occasions at Lesley's Blog entries.

Christmas just around the corner

Good evening Blog readers, yes Christmas is just around the corner, now counting the days until we get a well deserved two week rest. The last week or so have been busy getting decoration out of the loft space and sorting out what to keep and what to finally throw out, making Xmas cards is normally Hazel's department but this year I thought I'd have a go for work colleagues ( more of that later) and then as normal Hazel had made her Christmas cake to a tried and tested recipe that she has used for many years some weeks ago with just a touch of alcohol to keep it moist and this week she marzipan-ed, iced and decorated it. We also thought we might give a couple as small extra gifts, so with extra cakes made the results can be seen in the pictures.
