Unplanned Day off Work

I was going to have yesterday off but for some reason my diary wasn't blocked so I found it full of appointments, oh well had to go in.   Worked out well I didn't have much on today so stayed home today.

I spent the day making cards, they are not particularly Christmassy but I stuck them on a Merry Christmas background!!

This is for my mum, crocheted flowers and butterfly

This one was for my in-laws and a similar one for my sister.

As above

These are pictures of the set I made for my other sister, I also bought a bath bomb in the shape of a cupcake to add to the tray.  Just hope it gets to Chicago in one piece.

This one is for another family member

A little more Christmassy I think

I also had to make the boxes to send them in as I didn't have any the right size.  I spent an hour in the post office in Taunton the other day to buy one to send to USA.   Not funny when I only have an hour for lunch.

It is the worse post office in the world.   We have a fantastic one in our village but they didn't have the size box I wanted but the young lady even went through their old stock boxes to see if one was the size I needed.

Although it doesn't seem much it has taken me all day.  Still I didn't really have anything I needed to do, always things I could do but I enjoyed my day.

Oh put the Christmas tree and decorations up on Sunday, have done the stairs with lights and tinsel again.   I do like the banister rail decorated. 

The Tree is in red and silver

  

I love these large balls, they are about
4.5 inches in diameter

These large balls, the long thin ones and the funny shaped ones I bought in Minehead in a little shop next to the Job Centre.    Also the Angels and the Christmas tree in the window.  I think I got them about two years ago.   I love them.
