Hi,0
Firstly I hope you are all ok ? A lot has happened since I lasted posted - firstly I kept it very quiet but Alan's Dad was in hospital at the time of the last Challenge and sadly he lost his fight on 9th May, he didn't want a funeral and because Alan was really drained and emotional from the last 6 weeks of going up and down to Yorkshire from Cornwall, I decided he needed a break, so we went to Vienna for 3 days and WOW what a city, we had the most amazing time.
Today is the start of Maureen's fabby Rudolph Days Challenge and it lasts until 30th June, remember to leave a comment for a chance to win a great prize and as we are half way through the year it gives you a chance to start on your Christmas cards.

So sorry for your sad loss. I do know what you mean about being burnt out after traveling so far to visit with poorly relatives. But, I am sure Alan treasures that time he had with his Dad.
Your idea to get away was a good one, as it gave you all a much-needed break after the stress of all you have been through.
Your card is beautiful. I love the sweet scene you created, and the handcut critters are so adorable! Thanks so much for all you do, Sam.
Hugs

So sorry to hear about Alan's Dad, it must also have been very tiring going back and forth.
This is a lovely card for the challenge, hope H is well and happy at school xx
That’s an adorable card, glad you had a break and so sorry for your loss xxx
A super Christmas card Sam, I love the cute critters.
I'm sorry to hear your sad news, it must have been very hard on Alan, it sounds like your break was a great idea.

Oh Sam that is sad news about Alan's Dad. I'm so glad you were able to go away together to recharge the batteries and that you had a wonderful break.
Your card is fabulous. I love all the texture and those little critters outside the door are adorable! Vicky x
PS Just a heads up, the link to your blog isn't working from Maureen's blog. Can you fix it? There will be a lot of people wanting to come and see this beauty for sure!
These critters are adorable, Sam! I love how you've added them in front of the "house" singing their hearts out! An very special Christmas card! So sorry for your loss.
Hi Sam,
so sorry to hear about your Father in Law such a sad and trying time for all the family.
So glad you got to take Alan away to that beautiful country to help the healing process.
I love this card and your super design is gorgeous.
Those critters are so cute and that door looks amazing.
You have coloured the critters beautifully too.
Lots of crafty love and hugs. Jenny L.
I'm so sorry to learn of your family loss, I know how difficult the traveling can be. On a bright note, this card is just delightful with all the caroling critters and wreath upon the door! Wishing you peaceful days ahead. Hugs
