2 More Days to Go
I've not really had any time for crafting as there's so much else to do - I just wanted to wish all my readers and anyone else who comes across my blog a Very Merry Christmas and a very peaceful and healthy New Year.

SKINNY CHALLENGE

The thing about waking up early - before anyone else is about - is that I seem to get some time to craft and my mojo kicks in. I love being up early when its dark outside and I have the Christmas lights on inside - something very peaceful and magical about it all.
So I managed to get a Skinny done - I've been wanting to do one for ages to support Carole's challenge blog - this week the theme is Party so I've chosen Party Animal. I'm not one by the way! LOL! Couldn't you just cuddle this bear though!
I've used twinkling H2O's - not sure they show up very well though. Tim Holtz distress inks for the background again.

I found a new challenge blog thanks to Julie of Scrapping Away as she is their Guest Designer this week. The theme is Tags. You'll find it here
I used Cherry Pie Stamps to create my Tag Oh Christmas Tree. Oops - not very straight is it? The inks were Tim Holtz distress inks.

INCHY BY INCH - LAST ONE THIS YEAR
The last challenge of the year for InchybyInch is now up and running. We will start again in 2009 with a Guest Designer.
If you've been meaning to have a go at Inchys now's your last chance for 2008. They don't take long - honestly.
This week's theme is GIFTS:

CHERRY PIE - YULE
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrl9PFbVU6eXmUjMe8e2NFswotBMrytEvc7FCloVn5XBS2TksqAoZ3NiEPhtREXq_53cKeW6T1pft8cTARQUe_ZJQDztkbQxcJv5C49tkwQeeZaxsaYnEKcAL12g42hjQOnPhWl_eTdzk/s400/CP+yule.jpg)
This Yule card is for a special forum friend of mine who gives me inspiration in her art, she picks me up when she knows I'm down, and she offers support from afar - and I've never even met her. I hope she likes it.
All stamps - Cherry Pie - apart from the swirls in the background which is actually the lower half of the Father Christmas stamp I used a few postings ago. The inks are Tim Holtz distress inks.

Not a Christmas Card! LOL!

I've been spending some time tidying up my craft room - mainly cause I could hardly move for bits of paper and ribbon and there was hardly any space left on my table - only about enough to make an inchy!
It always looks so inviting when its all tidy and I know where everything is and I find it is a great motivator. I even found a Cherry Pie stamp I haven't used yet - so I sat down and made a non Christmas card!

Christmas Door Hanger
Wow - time goes quickly when Christmas is around the corner - I've been busy doing a few craft fairs with Stampin Up and making Christmas cards till they're coming out of my ears!
Thought I'd make something a bit different though and I made a Christmas door hanger for the kids to hang outside their doors or maybe me!!! LOL! This is the front:
