I'd like to wish everyone a very

Happy Christmas

Thank you to those who have become followers &

a big thank you to all of you who left me comments,

they really do matter & I appreciate each & everyone!

Moving on quickly, before I start to sound too soppy....LOL

I started to make a shaker card for Mackenzie, but then decided to turn it into a little decoration, it's the first time I've done one of these & it was fairly easy,

It's not perfect but Mac was impressed!

Thank you so much for thinking of me Carly, I'm honoured!

The rules state I need to tell you 8 things about myself BUT

for a change Mackenzie has asked me to tell you about her

1. She loves Christmas
2. Her favourite animals are horses
3. She loves her pet dog, Fletch
4. She wants One Direction to win the X Factor
5. She wants to marry Harry Styles ~ from One Direction (she's 8!!!)
6. She's a little bit crazy ~ in a good way
7. She loves watching the saddle club & Scooby doo
8. She loved you to pop over to her blog and say Hello

Another rule is that I need to pass the award onto another 8 bloggers,
