Advent Calendar Day 21 - Winter

Hi there everyone.

I hope you are all well.

 Day 21 of Julie's Advent Scavenger Hunt

And the prompt was

Winter



This is a very special photograph for me, taken on the road from Whitby to Pickering in January 2016, 15 minutes before we had our car accident....although I blogged about it and made fairly light of it at the time, see post here, looking back now I realise how serious it was and that we are so very lucky to be alive.....

But alive we are and grateful for everyday we have.....it makes you realise how incredibly precious life is and how very fragile too. God was watching over us that day......sadly I never did find out who the wonderful family were who helped and looked after me but I thank God they were there and remember them always in my prayers.....

I still love Winter and I still love the snow and the magical scenes they create but I am deeply aware of how things can change in a matter of seconds, how dangerous and hazardous this beauty can be and also how very precious our lives are....a life for which I am truly grateful.


Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

I really do appreciate your visits and lovely, encouraging comments.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Hi again....

I've caught up....Yeah!!!

 Day 19 of Julie's Advent Scavenger Hunt

The prompt today 

Stocking Or Christmas Sack/Bag



Another Christmas card that I made a few years back.....

Sadly I haven't managed to make any Christmas cards again this year as all my crafting things for card making are still boxed up since our move....but hopefully next year my new craftroom will have been built (must speak to the builder husband about this!!!....) and I may manage to make a few family cards at least.....

Advent Calendar Day 16 - Tree After Dressed

Hello everyone.

I hope you are all well.

It's Day 16 of Julie's Advent Scavenger Hunt

Where is the time going!....

The prompt today is

Tree After Dressed





This is the tree that came from our old home and I am quite attached to it....maybe next year we will have a new tree and this little number will be moved to the snug.

We have just finished renovating this room but we are still waiting for the rug to arrive and the curtains and new cushions to be finished but we'll get there.....

I love our new wood burner....and log store (waiting for logs too)....all building work by my very clever husband.....
