Christmas forever friends

Helloooooo!!!

Just a very quick post from me today as I'm a little shattered - well, lots shattered after an exciting day out with my daughter, Carley.

We've been out and about looking at the University of York, where she would like to apply to go to this next year. By 'eck.. what a place!! Who knew that the campus was spread out so far!

My feet feel like they've dropped off, my big toe is hurting with walking so far, and my hips are aching with all the bloomin' steps we walked up and down!!! However, a good day was had and things are looking good!

anyway. My card for today... another Christmas card from the other week's shows.

I love this christmas kit.. the little retro forever friends - and this is my favouritest image ever! Doesn't he look cute with his little hat on?

I used mirror card to add a little shine to the card, and kept the layering quite simple. I finished it off with a few papermania roses.

Well... as I say, it's just a quick post tonight.. but I hope you call by and say hello.. I will promise to come by your bloglet and say hello back - I love blurfing!

Until tomorrow...

Lots of love, Jo xxx
