Sweet Jar

Can you believe that it is already November, and in reality, 

Christmas is not that too many weeks away. 

Because today is the 1st Thursday of the month, it is once again

time for a new challenge at Crafty Little Fairies, and 

November's theme is an interesting one.......

I decided to decorate a recycled fruit juice bottle and fill 

it with yummy eclair chocolates.

I actually coloured the candles a very pale lemon colour, but

this does not show up in the photos.

Carolling Bunnies

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and received lots of crafty

goodies to add to your stash.

I was tidying up my folders in my computer after the mad frenzy to finish

my Christmas cards, when I found the image of this card that I had

 forgotten to post on my blog. 

I adore this cute image, so although Christmas is 'done and dusted' for another year,

I couldn't file these piccies away, unseen.

Aren't these little guys the cutest. They really appear to be putting their little

hearts into their carolling 100%. I used Promarkers to colour them.

Inside my card matches the front.

I guess we are on the countdown now for New Year's Eve celebrations. John and I will spend the evening at Fort Scratchley, where I am a guide. The Fort sits atop a headland at the entrance to Newcastle (Australia) Harbour, and the huge fireworks display is in the park directly below, so we have probably the best view possible.

Thank you for visiting,
