After seeing the awesome work of one KMW ( I know not who) during the recent GSS comp over at PTI I wanted to make wee patterns - this card uses the guidelines set together with Boxes bags and tags and also the wee star out of Silent night. Simple but I think it's a pretty wee pattern.

Colours are Spring moss and the purply colour the name of which escapes me just at the moment. Oh yes, Plum pudding.

Simple but suitable for a wee thank you note.

By the way, I do hope you are following the celebrations at PTI - some awesome giveaways so far!!

In case you are still reading I am mindfull of the fact that I promised a how to for my tower boxes, I will try to be really good and get this done in the next day or two.

If you are really bored it may interest you to know that I have the sort of eyebrows that any self respecting neanderthal would have been proud of. My mother used to say, in all sincerity, and with a straight face, "You have good strong hair." Any of you who have been a teenager will know that this was not the sentiment required.

It thus followed that the over-sensitive teenager became convinced that unless the head hair was grown long, passers by might just mistake same teenager for a male of the species. This seemed all the more likely at the time given that the said teenager was greatly under-upholstered, indeed the attractive term 'scrawny' was often used.

And so my hair has been long for what feels like forever. Today I got it cut as short as it has been in 20 years and I can't decide whether I like it or not. DH thinks it's lovely, or else has been taking tips on lying from the interrogation section of my daugher's "Famous Five handbook". Larger daughter said it was 'cute' but then wanted chocolate biscuits immediately. Smaller daughter said it was horrible, but then everything was horrible today because the snow didn't lie and we couldn't make snowmen.

It seems the only truth to be had was when the hairdresser turned to my two year old and asked him what he thought of mummy's hair. The big green eyes looked up into mine and as the smile spread across his face he said "Mummy pretty." Yep, it has been a very good day.
