Dipped in chocolate and Christmas house mice

What is it with the British weather,yesterday morning,hail,rain and then sun. Boy did it rain ,the heaviest sheet rain I've ever seen and great bits of hail, the garage is soaked but luckily the house is ok, unlike for some poor souls.
Now if this fun image ,house mouse unmounted sheet called dip ,doesn't raise a smile ,well you just don't have a sense of humour. When the set arrived I couldn't stop chuckling at it and I had the perfect inkadinkadoo sentiment to go with it.I used brown gingham card by pinflair, I do love gingham. Coloured with pro and copic markers and an organza ribbon and bow to complete the look.

Made my first Christmas card of the year. The house mouse unmounted set from Joanna Sheen called mice and cosy. The knitted things look very Christmasy with some stickles glitter. I pack my Christmas stash away til sept usually, but I found a poinsetta and used a backing paper and insert from my new house mouse cd rom.

well the jobs are done,apart from the everyday stuff, nice feeling. I got the carpet shampoo-er from church yesterday and washed all the down stairs carpets,nice and fresh but I can still smell the horrid gloss paint.
Next week we can relax and enjoy a few days out ,if the weather decides to behave.
enjoy the rest of the weekend and happy crafting. janex
