IN THE FIRST WEEK OF CHRISTMAS
WE HAD A LOT OF FUN.....
(with sincere apologies to those of you who love the original carol....)
One bestie crafting:
(Julia made the lovely toppers, I just plonked them onto card, lol!)
TWO LARGE GINS
THREE LOVELY FRIENDS:
FOUR RNLI LADIES:
FIVE YELLOW WELLIEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS.........
And a brass band tooting with glee......
Joining in the desky madness at Julia's Stamping Ground, which must surely be a candidate for the Longest Running Blog Hop out there xx
Enjoy your week!

Morning Jan. BRILLIANT! I'm sitting here with a great big grin on my face! You have certainly had quite a week - and I can't get over how many lovely friends you have made so very quickly since moving back to the homeland. Well done!
Take care. God bless.

Brilliant! I so enjoyed your new lyrics, Jan, complete with fabulous illustrations. I'm not a gin drinker but those glasses look very refreshing among all that greenery. Have a great week. Elizabeth x #25
The gin has to be the first thing I mention - what brand was it? I still have some different ones to try (miniatures unfortunately).
Lovely cards as who made the toppers - but what a lovely time you no doubt had with your mate (and the gin). Just thought - Gin and a Grin (you two being happy in one another's company)
Great five words of Christmas - do we get the others next week?
Hugs, Neet 5 xxx
Hiya Jan, great pics, lots been going on then! Totally approve of the G&T!Glad the carnival fair went well. Saw the band pic on FB, you are all looking good there. Love & hugs, to all, Shaz XxXx
Hi Jan, you lucky lady what a great week you've had and definitely lots of fun. Have a great woyww too, hugs Angela x16x
Great pics Jan and I just caught up on last weeks too - so fab for you and Julia to have a bit of quality time together - a few gins and lots of laughs no doubt! xx Jo
Great pics and lots of fun, looks like your week has been buzzing. You and Julia created some lovelies there, despite the gin (or maybe because of it)!
Lots of love and hugs to you my dear gal,
Diana xx
oh How fun Jan. I love all the happy shots and giggled that you set the words to the Carol. and those cards turned out gorgeous too! ~Stacy #28
Dear god, if the camera never lies...what a horrid picture of me, although I don’t doubt it’s trueness! Those cards look better than I remember them, and you certainly had fun making a wreath, would have loved to have been there for that....it’s thirsty work, I’m sure! Zxxx
So much goodness there - and merriment - love seeing all those smilie faces. It's probably you Jan - it's contagious and people around you can't help but smile along! The other thing I really love is the pattern on Julia's sweater! So much inspiration there LOL! Thanks for your visit - wishing you a lovely week and more merriment to come! zsuzsa #6
Hi Jan, absolutely brilliant post! I loved all the pics and the new lyrics, makes me smile seeing happy people, and your pics were certainly full of happy people. Glad the carnival fair went well and raised lots of funds. Thanks for stopping by earlier, I'm sure I'll get better at the quilt making the more I do. Have a lovely week Heather x #14
