Hi,

I hope you are all ok ?, today is the start of the new Rudolph Days Challenge, which the lovely Maureen runs and you have from today until the 30th to enter, plus there is always a chance to win a fabby prize too.

I seem to have gone a bit 'Gold and Glittery' mad this month, I didn't mean to with the bear one, but I thought the 'Tree Ribbon' needed something and hey presto ;-) x
