The most fantastic bit about the clocks going forward is the fact that i can eat my dinner, then take Whisper out and get back before it gets dark,yipee - which means i'm not chasing my tail all the time and if son and i don't want to come home a bit later we can, as we are not rushing home now to walk Whisper !!
As 2 of my favourite challenges this week are based around 'Recycling' - it gave me a chance to use up an old lolly stick !! (as we are emptying freezer at the moment, in readiness for a new one, once kitchen has been installed in a couple of weeks) - i've used it as the arm (covered in snowflake paper), so you can pull it up to reveal the sentiment - photo will explain better. It also gave me a good excuse to make another Christmas card, as i'm a little behind at the moment, on my plan to make 1 card a week !!
