Good Afternoon, not had much time for posting and crafting this last week, I have been to see my granddaughter's in their Christmas plays, Advent Services etc, all were enjoyable and it was lovely to see them all doing their different performances and singing. Emma (6) was a narrator in her Nativity play and read really well, Jude (10) sang a duet at her Advent Service and sang beautifully, Abbie (10) played Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz and peformed beautifully, they all brought tears to my eyes and I was so proud of each and every one.
