Best wishes flowers

Today is Prize giving at school. It's for the older section of the school. It's going to be a long day but it's always great to see how the boys have matured since I taught them at nine years of age. Sometimes some of them surprize you.

My take is this card.

Snowflakes

I managed to get some sewing done this weekend, thank goodness. This week is the start of "silly season" for me with 2 dinners and a lunch planned. I also have prize giving at school so something new to wear certainly won't go amiss.

Another Christmas card and it fits the new sketch at Freshly made sketches perfectly
 
 I made a couple in the blue and silver combo
 
 
but my one sister doesn't like blue so I made this combo for her instead.
 
 
 
I will also be entering this at Time out challenges
where the challenge is a word one
"Snowflakes are winter's butterflies"
