I do hope you have all had a good week, we have had a week full of mixed emotions, on Tuesday our eldest granddaughter Zoe was 21 very happy occasion, but so sad no hugs, no party, no celebrations, no family gathering just each of us in turn calling round to wish her happy birthday.  On Thursday Abbie left for her first year at Manchester  University and on Saturday Zoe and Jude are off to University, Zoe to her third year at Nottingham and Jude first year at Sheffield.  It is just going to be so quiet around here.

Now back to today where have a new challenge starting at MyTime to Craft with the theme of:

Not being a Harry Potter fan don't know much about the books or films but managed to find this old small image from Red Hot Bed so I made an ATC with it.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Good Morning Peeps,

I hope all is well with you this Saturday morning, warm but dull here after a beautiful sunny Friday.

  Norhing planned for us this weekend as we are in the area of local lockdowns so we can't even see the family out in the garden, I know these things have to be done but it doesn't make it any easier to take, I just hope it doesn't last too long this time.  The steam train which runs through our village was supposed to start again today as well but I think that must have had to be cancelled too as I haven't seen it.

Anyway I have a Christmas card to share with you today, I have been trying to get some done this week making 2 or 3 the same as I really need to get my box filled up.
