Hope your SIL is on the mend @midgebabe - complaining does sound promising. ❤️

I know them both but will leave them for @FlouncingBabooshka of course.. 😍

CoffeeBeansGalore · 24/12/2020 11:57

@midgebabe you are welcome 😊. Glad to hear SiL is possibly on the mend 👍

Oh that’s hopeful Midge.

This is my stepson’s card picture- thought Babooshka might like it.xx

Jealous

Just what I get for reading this when I am meant to be working

Honeyroar · 24/12/2020 12:58

How beautiful Coffee. It’s trying to snow here too, we keep getting a few flakes, but it’s forecast frost.

shinynewapple2020 · 24/12/2020 12:58

Happy birthday @FlouncingBabooshka hope you have a lovely day 🙂

I think I know myself too well now to think I would actually do any craft activities! I used to do a lot with DS when he was younger - but I used to work term time at that point. Maybe when I retire!

Advent windows look lovely @Honeyroar and also your scenery @CoffeeBeansGalore.

It's probably a good year for snow . Normally I would be worried about snow making transport difficult ......

Fleamaker123 · 24/12/2020 13:14

Coffee, I was quietly hoping for some snowy pics! Gorgeous!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 24/12/2020 14:14

Glad to oblige @Fleamaker123 ☃️

@perditasugarplum - no filo pastry sadly but they sound absolutely delicious - will definitely try that next year. Xmas Smile

FlouncingBabooshka · 24/12/2020 14:34

@AJumpedUpChristmasElf

Happy Birthday *@FlouncingBabooshka* have a lovely day. I feel as if I have met my kindred spirit in terms of spending money on stuff I never do. I could list so many more! Hope your gifts don’t include crafts you will never do. Xmas Wink
Funny you should say that... 😂😂😂

I really want to make these. I’m giving myself a deadline of the end of January, though I suspect I will end up requesting an extension from myself Grin

@Honeyroar

Some lyrics for you -

If they were me
If they were me
And I was you
And I was you.
(80s)

You know it doesn’t make much sense
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offence
At a day in your celebration
(80s)

Oops! I missed this earlier! Thanks Honey - both happy birthday - Altered Image and Stevie Wonder 🥰
FlouncingBabooshka · 24/12/2020 14:37

Altered Images

Honeyroar · 24/12/2020 15:01

Correct! Happy Birthday to you!

perditasugarplum · 24/12/2020 15:01

Probably; I haven't played the piano or done any art for two days.

Apparently when my dad was a child he used to get joint birthday and Christmas presents. His birthday was 4 December!

Honeyroar · 24/12/2020 15:33

Ooh that’s bad babooshka, your poor dad!

CrepuscularCritter · 24/12/2020 15:52

Happy Birthday Babooshka. It's my birthday today too (and my MIL's, so at least DH has just one date to remember). My mum ran for a bus to get the turkey, so I was an unexpected extra for the feast.

And I hope all is ok with your SIL, Midge.

Honeyroar · 24/12/2020 15:55

Aww happy birthday to you too @CrepuscularCritter

I feel his pain - mine is at the end of January. My Aunt used to tell me she'd give me my xmas present when it was my birthday "because I can get it in the January sales" Shock

AJumpedUpChristmasElf · 24/12/2020 16:09

Happy Birthday @CrepuscularCritter - mines January and I always got joint presents when I was younger.

80s Lyric
I don't want charity, just half a chance
And it's all up to you, yes it's all up to you

NeedToKnow101 · 24/12/2020 16:56

Happy birthday @CrepuscularCritter 🎄🥳 wow another Xmas eve birthday! Three in the crew including DC.. What are the chances of that?

I'm another January birthday... been through all the double-present, present in sales (can be a good thing), and no-one wanting to go out (including me Grin) cuz the weather is shit.
