Noel

Good morning all. Yesterday started cold, wet and miserable but by mid afternoon it was lovely.

I had a very successful shopping trip and managed my whole wedding ensemble in one shop! We went to the wedding shop just for a look round and possibly try some different styles on.....my youngest sister Diane (mother of the groom) pointed out a coral lace dress she liked and I loved the colour so I picked it up in two sizes and went off to try it on. I put the smaller size on first but wasn't expecting the zip to go up, my other sister did me up and it was just perfect....obviously made for me lol When Diane saw me she just went WOW that's perfect! I've gone for a coral fascinator and I'm having a clutch bag and a pair of sandals dyed to match the dress. So all my efforts to lose weight have paid off and a few more pounds in the next 10 weeks will just make it look even better! Managed to get four nice tops too for my holidays :)

A Christmas card to share today which I made a couple of weeks ago when trying to use up some of my vast stocks of Christmas goodies. Another nice flat one for posting.


Papers and topper were in my stash and came from an Angel envelope so I don't know what make they are.

Challenges entered:
CHNC Extra - anything goes
CHNC - red and green should be seen
52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - feature the big guy

    Congratulations on your weight loss Carol. Makes all the hard work worth while when something like this happens doesn't it. My sister and I went shopping when her son was getting married and we had a fabulous day together - and a successful one. I'm glad you got things sorted. Another nice Christmas card too.

    Fabulous card Carol. Glad to hear you had a successful day yesterday. I wore coral to my son's wedding 25years ago and I loved it, in fact I still have it to-day, but in the attic now. Hugs Rita xx
