Sorry for the delay in this post tonight - I have been struggling with how to put this news into words but that was my last challenge as host with Allsorts as I have made the hardest decision to step down after being on the DT right from the start :o(
 
I won't bore you all with the details - suffice to say it was just the right decision for me :o)
 
Hope to still see you around blog land :o)
 
Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy Healthy New Year.

Week 183 - Advent


Good morning to you all, it's Brenda here stepping in for Jo. It sounds like there were gremlin's at play last night whilst poor Joe was trying to preparing for our new challenge and this morning she's got an early start on Create and Craft.

So I would like to announce the theme Jo has selected for us this week which is extremely fitting given today is 1st December......................

********Advent********

Our sponsor this week is one of our regulars Digistamp Boutique who are offering one lucky winner six images of their choice, you can view all of their images here and if you use a Digistamp image you get entered into the draw twice.


There is plenty of inspiration from the design team again this week, please do pop along to the individual blogs and show them a little love.
