Hello everyone,
Another Wednesday has rolled around, I'm sure they are coming faster and faster and our daylight saving has started which causes my brain and body to go into a catatonic state until I'm organized which could take up the 3 weeks to sort it all out...then the heat will come..ugh!!..
BUT, today is a good day as it is LITTLE RED WAGON time and a new hostess, our lovely Imke and a new challenge.. " H " is for Holidays - any kind you want..
I went with a Christmas theme using these gorgeous papers..
and decided on a book..
I had all these pictures in my stash, and although I don't have or never have had a winter snowy Christmas, I wanted one, so I made one up, based on my Summer trips to the top of the North Island here in NZ for Christmas to be with my Grandmother.
This is me, ( wink )..all dressed up ready for our trip to Grandmas house..
We took the train and travelled a long way until we reached the station at grandmas village.
we were driven by taxi to Grandmas, which always exciting as she
had surprises everywhere for us..
there was always a snowman outside
near her house all dressed up for the season
and around the next turn there were gifts piled high and scattered with snow.
The village was always a beautiful place to go, with the snow and lights
and bought the romance back to Mum and Dad..
The whole day was wrapped in a gingham ribbon, a memory to keep.
There were no tags, no places to write anything, just pages of how I wished it was.
So do come and join us HERE
thank you so much for stopping by..
Luv CHRISSYxx
