Night in at the movies!

My tutorial this week shows how I made these 

Cocoa packs for the Grandkids.

Christmas Soap Box

My tutorial today is a cute little box holding some even cuter

bars of soap!

I got a few bars of the Gingerbread man soap bars from Oriflame.

to use for them but I didn't get it 😡

But I am happy enough with this gorgeous paper and snowflake stamp set.

Slip & Slide Fun Fold Card

I named this card a slip & slide as I don't know what else to call it.

When you open the card it literally slips and slides 😂

to reveal a mini card.

That mini card then opens to reveal the message.

Simply close and it all slides back in effortlessly!

I have a tutorial free with my midmonth newsletter.

Sean and Tom are hilarious and so entertaining lol.

They had a big cross country race yesterday through the schools

and Tom came 1st in his group while Sean came 7th in his age group.

They are super sporty boys!!

And our youngest Grandson Finbar who has autism,

went with his little class to the Arts Festival.

His class sang a song together and they won the cup for their age group!!

Proud Granny and Granda for sure!!
