As we have had a couple of days off work (can't believe I have to go back tomorrow - sob!) we popped into Norwich yesterday for a day browsing the shops for Christmas ideas. Anyhoo, one of our last shops before catching the train home was Jarrolds. I love this store, it's still a true, old fashioned department store and the staff are so wonderfully helpful and friendly.
I was on the lookout for a 2011 diary for me. My 2010 diary is one of those fancy Moleskine jobs and I love it to pieces but I found something so much better for the new year!!!
How brilliant is that?! Now I have absolutely no excuse for being late with my Totally Gorjuss DT cards LOL!
And here's the fat turkey - great recipe challenge over at HIGH HOPES STAMPS this week of 1 circle, 2 squares and a scalloped edge
I've used the High Hopes stamp Tom's Plea, I'm sure in the US he would be used for Thanksgiving, but it's not a UK Christmas without turkey! Papers are Dovecraft, Martha Stewart heart border punch, peel off border from stash and colouring medium is distress inks.
And I'm also entering this into this week's DIE CUT DREAMS CHRISTMAS CLUB who are looking for Christmas Humour, although I guess the turkey's not laughing!
