For any musical enthusiasts, Susan Boyle's Sheet music and songbook is now out for voice, piano and guitar. I have her CD on my Christmas list. When I hear her sing, it still sends shivers down my spine. For those who don't know, Susan was an entrant in 'Britain's Got Talent' and wowed everyone with her amazing voice, although she looked quite frumpy when she walked on stage.
ABC of ATCs Around the World
In this group of 10, as some of you will know, we have been going through the alphabet and making an Artist Trading Card for each letter then swapping with each other. We have reached 'Z' and I have today posted my full set on the blog, featured on my profile page. Some of the others have put on their complete sets too, so pop over if you'd like to see.

New Purchases
I bought these 2 lovely bright red mugs, they're big too, for lots of tea!
They are white inside. I love mugs.
The sheet behind was the start of another Christmas collage, but I decided the card is too thick to cut up for cards, so I'll just put it on the wall over Christmas, or somewhere! The flash caught the middle.
And here are my lovely warm slippers. I know, they're a bit 'old lady' but I don't like the 'mule' sort as I often pop out into the garden in them.
Well, that's about it for now. A 'different' blog from me and I hope you enjoyed it.
Cards
This year I decided to make collages for my Christmas Cards (I have made my own for ever). I made a large collage, then cut it up.
