Hello lovely peeps!
My baby boy Gareth leaves for his holiday in Australia at 2am tomorrow morning so I am a sad muma as my baby will be away for almost 6 weeks & will be on the other side of the world at Christmas :(
For him it will be a wonderful holiday and a time to experience a very different Christmas than he has been used to, but I am going to miss him so much.
Little Miss Tilda has been absent from my blog for way too long so today as well as my DT card Tilda is back :)

Here she is last, little Tilda is back :)
I hadn't even been aware of how long it's been since I coloured a sweet Tilda & creating this card made me realise how much I'd missed colouring this little cutie & this is Lingonberry Tilda.
It will definitely not be long before another sweet Tilda appears on my blog.
The papers I've used are by Maja Designs, the sentiment is by Magnolia, the cute snowflakes are Simon Says Stamps Stitched Snowflakes, the angel pin is one I have made & everything else is from my stash.

I'm absolutely shattered from a couple of hectic, stressful days at work so I'm having a chill out day blogging and writing my Christmas Cards at last!
