Hi Folks,
Welcome to my wee bit of blogland,
I hope you're all well and not struggling too much with the lockdown and the restrictions its causing. It feels like we have been in it forever now. So glad that the daily deaths have dropped and I hope that they continue to do so. What a terrible year. Especially now with the awful things happening in the US as well. Frightening times to be living in.
On a happier note Im here with the next challenge for Fezziwigs Festive Frolics.
This fortnight I would like to see your cards with anything to do with the Christmas Story (Nativity) on them. Now if it wasn't for it, we wouldn't have any Christmas at all.

Lots of folks here in blogland have been sharing their gardens so I thought I would show you a couple of pics of mine today. Of course its now really dull when its been so sunny over the last week!!!
I bought this hanging basket after spying it while standing in the queue outside Asda the other week. Its Petunias and they are putting on quite a show.
Here is some of my lilac tree. Its been beautiful as well. The scent is stunning and not too over powering. Its almost past now as the colours on the flowers are fading fast.
I have 2 of the sunflowers just starting to pop their shoots up though the soil. Its been so cosy the last week its really encouraged them to grow!!
Thats all from me for today, Im not about as much its because Im off to paint the summer house and its going to be a fair bit of work. Didnt realise that I would have to wipe it all down with methylated spirit to lift the previous waterproof layer of paint before redoing it!! Im going to do a side a day so I dont get too tired. (Weather permitting though!!!!)
Love and Sparkles,
Hazel xx
