Christmas Table


Ok Here is a picture of my table. If you have a look closely you will see I have made the Napkin Holders with Black and White cardstock and a red ribbon in the middle. The place mats I made as well with a christmas wheel rolled on it and Merry Christmas stamped as well. (should of taken the plates off for a better look). Next to the Bon Bon I made the little black sweet boxes. These have been embossed with the snowflake in silver embossing powder and filled with M&M's with the acetate window.(I made 19 of these).
Thanks for looking
Karen

I'm Back


Well hello everyone, I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year.

Christmas was at my house this year and with the lead up to christmas I was very busy making the decorations for my table. My theme this year
was Black and Silver with a splash of red and I was thrilled to see the end result. I had a total of 19 people and we had a wonderful brunch, followed by a very casual dinner. When everyone left it was quick clean up time and back to packing as we were leaving for Albany the next morning for a week's break.

The trip to Albany was very daunting I must say, should only be about 5
hours travelling but no...for us it took 7 hours. With 6 people in the car
and a very very hot day, not a very good start to the holiday. The reason
unfortunately was due to the car transmission over heating... Well I must
say we now know all the "p" stops on the way to Albany as we had to stop
nearly every 15 mins. Although we had a bad start the holiday itself was
very relaxing. We showed the kids lots of the sites in Albany from Whale
World, to the Forte, we even headed to Denmark for a day, Farm visits
swimming and fishing. I was dreading the drive home but it went off
without a hitch....thank goodness.

Well I will stop rambling now and keep an eye out for all my news,
workshops etc...

Happy Stampin

My Christmas Count Down Mistake Revealed

Thankyou to all that commented regarding my mistake.

Well after reading all comments I must say that one of
you lovely ladies (Nikki) brought to my attention that I
didn't actually make one mistakes but two. yes thats right
TWO mistakes. No-one actually got the one I started this
competition on but you all went in the draw for the prize.

Drum roll........................................

The mistake you were looking for was, I actually put the same
card in for two different days. The other mistake brought
to my attention was I forgot to change the day, so I left out
Day 10 and had two day 11's.

Hope you all had abit of fun checking out my posts and
trying to find the mistake, I had fun watching all the
comments.
