Good Morning......

I hope you are not to stressed out and rushing about, easy for me with rellies in Oz and NZ....Sunday morning I went for a walk along our local canal, beautiful morning as the first thing I saw  was a hot air balloon

As it was very cold there were so many pretty droplets and frost on trees and bushes and grasses... althought I took a lot of pictures, not many showed what I hoped to capture

still white with frost but not what I hoped for.....

A little better with dew in the tips if the pines......when I got home I made four fruit cakes.....
.I have been busy in the craft room though! I made 4 gift bags, two for family and two for the sellers of big issuse outside my local Aldi.....a lovely lady on Wednesday and a lovely man on Thursday, both so pleasant and always smile and say hello.....

I al;so added a handmade card to both of them, for the two family ones, I added brandy to the fruit loaves.
I have also made 20 matchboxes with my Tim Hotz die.... 6 for table favors on Christmas day and the others as fairing gifts for my friends.

these are part of work in progress....fiddly to make and glue everywhere but also fun.....
I hope you are organized.
My family in Oz yesterday felt the aftershocks from the Indonesian earthquake and they also have a cyclone warning as well, hopefully, it may change course and miss them!
Out for a Christmas meal tonight on this cold Winter Solstice.....
Have a Happy Christmas and thank you for your visits this year
