October Rudolph Days Challenge - Cheeky Snowman

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

Good news our daughter and son-in-law have moved. The move day was last Friday and mostly the rain stayed away. We went up to help. We cleaned, we collected hot drinks from Starbucks, we provided a picnic and we helped a bit with unpacking. We arrived home about 8.00pm just in time to feed the bunnies. We went back on Saturday to help a bit more. On Sunday we had a day at home. Also on Friday we found out that my hubby has been accepted for Voluntary Severance and he will be retiring on 30th November. Life is going to be a bit different. 

I have been a bit out of the loop for a few days. I nearly missed the October Rudolph Days Challenge which runs from the 25th until the end of the month. 


The blue snowy patterned paper was in my stash. 


I have been practising my pencil colouring. This cute little image comes from Bugaboo and is called Snow Friends and it is available HERE.  They were coloured with pencils but for the life of me I can not remember which ones. Oops. 


Well another card for my stash. I have made over 100 cards now. I hope that is enough. We are arranging with lots of people not to exchange Christmas presents this year. I will still send Christmas cards though. People are still in our thoughts. 

I would like the enter the following challenges:

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie

Such a gorgeous card Jackie, love it!
Well I can tell you that retiring really change your life. We both home now since this Summer. Of course we cannot do all the things we wanted to do with the pandemie, like going on Holiday, or relaxing on a terrace with a drink. Let's hope such things will come back within a couple of months,.....
Take care!
