168 Days Left to Christmas :-)

YES the Christmas Countdown has begun !! Are you already making plans ?? I am ,, I have a box of cards which is filling up nicely and I am already thinking about mince pies and making decorations ! It's amazing how the next few months will fly by so if you haven't made a start yet then maybe now's the time to dig out your Christmas Crafty Supplies, put some Carols on your ipod and get a wiggle on :-)

This fortnight on the ABC Christmas Challenge it is the lovely Helen's turn to host and the theme is 

'N' for NUMBERS 

I bought this 3D Calendar, designed by Samantha Walker, from the Silhouette Store last year and never got around to using it so I though it was 'bout time :-)


I kept it to the original size and just glittered and decorated Santa, used a die cut trim accross the front and Bob's ya Uncle ,,, Thanks samantha Walker !! :-)


This is going to look fab on my Christmas Dresser :-)

While I was at it I made this calendar too, not very Christmassy but I thought I would share :-)
