Shepherd watched the elf by night.....

Allo allo! I fancied blogging today. Rare.
So - when did your heart melt the most this year?
Mine was at this point....
here..
My little boy - a shepherd in the nativity concert (on a play mat no less)
Bless his face. He was cute all the way through - till he threw his head scarf in his key workers face - but that is another story....

So - as promised (even if only to myself) Here are my scrap layouts from the weekend away - I must admit - I am finding less and less time to scrap these days - I find myself doing orders, meeting the demands of a four year old with ever growing boredom and intelligence to satisfy - and general life on the run up to Christmas. - Here is an example of this - I started this blog post at 4pm and its now 7:10pm! 
Anyway - layouts.......
this next one is one of my favourite layouts of all time.
Also - the simplest of layouts of all time surely? 
eeep - I love the sentiment stamp as title... the simple journal lines - stickers and kraft - oh and of course, the subject matter - my little self portrait fan using Incredibooth.
oh - ok, so the next one has an odd title - but simply explained -  It is Finlay in some fancy new threads for my brothers wedding, and for some reason, it totally reminds me of a picture of Michael Buble!

please ignore my "from the ghetto" journalling - I am painfully aware I am from Bexhill and not the streets.
Another odd titled one........

yes... I did use a whole sheet of journal tab stickers on that......
ahem, moving on.
*the lyrics from this are Ed Sheeran Lego House (aka the nicest song in the world... for the moment)
--------------- anyway moving on!---------------
 Remember the free download from Papercraft Inspirations I designed for advent boxes?
Well - here they are in their hung glory - chocful of delight and pretty on the eyes too..
And yes - there are three advents in this home - advent advent everywhere!

 In other news....
Tumbleflump Hollie-Tinker decided that the new fancy bobble trim on his hat meant he could step up the cheeky antics at night -  Finlay woke up today to find him perched mid-act of doodling on our photos....
what a little flipperty gibbit he is!
and that is it for today!
tomorrow I have a digi freebie for you all.

Your little shepherd is as sweet as can be. He looks like he has been a good little boy this year and Santa will bring him lots toys. Love your advent garland and your little elf.
