Ya can't use one of these with a Kindle!

I finished these three bookmarks last night, the swap theme was open, just one stipulation of having a Peel Off somewhere on the bookmark. I decided to use the wonderful resources that can be found over at the GraphicsFairy. The top two are vinatge labels, and the lady - well I'm not sure where e3xactly I found her......I laminated the bookmarks for ease and extra stability whilst postal, but if I was going to hand delivery it I would have made it more of a pretty gift - inking it up, embellishing and blinging.

over the weekend I baked the first Christmas Cake of the year, noramlly I do two, one for me and one for my friend. Its still naked but I tarted it up for the photo, now its gone to sleep wrapped up tightly in greaseproof paper and silver foil, ready for its big day....

Its a 'Bero' Christmas Cake, with the fruit soaked in brandy for two days, occasionally stirred. One year I tried the fruit soaked in warm cider but din't like the result, its much more moist with brandy, even though most of the alcohol gets baked away.

A simple card made using off cuts from another project, with a sentiment printed off the internet, a gorgeous black and white Butterfly (from a pack which I got from the '7 day present' swap on cardexchangeuk, my swap partner was Helen) and of course a little bling in the corner.

Sniffles away! Did a quick card for my oldest friends wedding anniversary, from the Debbi Moore craft inspriation magazine I got last week, didn't even glitter it....... must have been ill!

normal crafting service will resume once I get rid of this extremely tiresome cold which thinks its the flu.....

I made this for a monthly partner swap on cardexchangeuk, the stamp was in a set I got free with Lets Go Stamp (or something similiar) - a magazine which covers a different craft each issue. I'd just got my first promarker set (Pastel) - hopefully the first of many *g* . I love the pink cardstock which always tears beautifully. Blinged it up slightly with a few pastel gems.

Yesterday I received my Debbi Moore package and the one from Kaycee crafts. It was like Christmas *g*

another atc, I have about 10 sheets of these 'sentiment/greeting' tags which I got free in the Lets Make Cards magazine I used to get, have only used the odd tag so I decided to use a full one as my background with a wistful looking lady having a cup of coffee and a good think about what she could celebrate that night, plenty of lovely cocktails will be had, of course.
