We have internet again!!!!!!! ........

Happy Thursday ......

And what a happy day it is too!  We have internet, finally ........ whoo hoo!!!!!
It's been a real struggle without it ...... and a flippin' struggle to get it sorted!  
We've been with the same telecom company since we came to the island (that's over 10 years ago now ..... time flies!) and we have never had any problems before.  This time however, it's been one thing after another.  In the end hubby wrote a letter of complaint and voila! ......... things are now sorted.  
Hubby's happy, I'm happy and little man is extremely happy.  No more hot spotting, and fighting for the 4G signal.  We have Alexa again, and my printer is now happy that it's back on the wi-fi.  And, we don't have to watch Netflix and Amazon in 24 parts because the signal is buffering ....... it's great to be online again!

Hopefully things should get back to normal here on the blog too. We are going away for a few days so it will be a bit of a slow start craft wise, but we'll get there.

I'm playing along with the CAS Christmas Challenge again today ..... the big day will be here before we know it!


The theme is Decorations.
I love decorating the house for Christmas, and this year is going to be fun, finding new places for all my festive favourites.  You never know, I might be able to squeeze in a few new ones too! 


These little guys look busy.

Clean and simple, and quick and easy ..... perfect for all those Christmas cards.

I started with the sentiment, stamped in gold, directly onto my card base


I then stamped hedgie, three times over the top ........ I did use the MISTI to make sure I got the positioning right


I used my ZIG markers to watercolour each of the images ......


and added in a touch of metallic ink for a little festive shimmer.


I couldn't resist finishing off with a touch of sparkle here and there.

Well that's another card for the festive box done ..... now I just need top remember where I've put the box!!!

Thanks for popping by ...... enjoy the rest of your day.
Time for a coffee and a little web browsing I think ..... I've some catching up to do!!

Cheerio until next time ........
