Hello out there . . . It's a mizzy, rainy morning here and I should be at my Pilates class, but last night our central heating boiler decided to misbehave. Sooo, here I am instead, watching over the plumber cum central-heating-guru trying to work out what the problem is and get it fixed. Sigh . . .
Anyway, on to happier things. I'm taking part in the Advent Swap over at Hookin' with Laa-Laa and the posting date is almost upon us, so yesterday afternoon I got wrapping & taping & tagging . . .
. . . and had lots of fun playing with my new roll of washi. I've only recently discovered the joys of washi tape - how on earth have I managed to get by without it for so long ?? It's fabulous stuff. I feel a new obsession coming on : - )
So, that's everything wrapped and ready to be packed into its PO box and wing its way over to Rae.
Thanks for all your lovely sentiments about my Winter quilt in yesterday's post - the consensus seems to be that I could in fact keep it out all year round - tee hee. . . Majority Rules !
Wishing all my friends in the USA a very happy, blessed and peaceful Thanksgiving - enjoy all the fabulous festivities !
xoxo
Ooh what gorgeously wrapped gifts.
