Christmas Season

Goodness me a month has gone by since I last posted. It is nearly December and time to start my Christmas preparation. So that means starting my Christmas season album.
I have decided to go for a 8x8 size this year and I'm hoping that I can fit enough pages in the one I already have, I still have to decorate the cover but I have made a start.
My first page is my shopping expedition to ASDA for the pudding ingredients plus so extra goodies

As I hadn't made up my mind what size when I bought this years papers my pad was only 6x6 so I am going to make the background pp myself for several (if not all) the pages

Hopefully tomorrow I will be making my pudding, this year I will have a little helper, Rufus is coming over and we will be mixing and making a Christmas wish/blessing as we stir the lovely fruity mixture.

Today I managed to get Andy's present and also Danny's, Ben's I will get in Skipton when I go up next week and Helen wants clothes so that will be easier to do up there too.

I have done a couple pages of my newest grandson Eli but as yet I don't have many photos of him


I've also done pages of Rufus this one is a double page

to make it easier to see here are the individual pages 



another page for last years Christmas Season album


a couple for my Florida album (yes I am still adding to that one)



and three taken last June/July when I was last up in Skipton with my other two grandsons and my Daughter and Son in Law of course.




finally I did this one for this week's challenge to use no patterned paper a photo that wasn't people or pets & a cluster of embellishments.

today I am grateful for a successful shopping expediton

for the sunshine this morning as I sat in bed and watched it rise in my mirror

and for the start of the Christmas season
