its beginning to look a lot like......

Good morning everyone...I bet your singing now or at the very least humming lol...its is though isn't it beginning to feel a lot like Christmas it has that crisp frosty feel in the air...did you have a great Halloween, I'm gobsmacked at how much difference it has made just moving a few miles to where we are now...I went out to the local shops yesterday and about 6 people spoke to me saying hello just or nice day etc, but in fact more people spoke to me yesterday than in the whole time we lived in the other house it wasn't for lack of trying either, you know me I will speak or chat to anyone (its the Geordie blood in me lol) but people were so unfriendly I lived next door to the same woman for over two years and she still used to snub me when I saw her in Town and never replied to my hello's or anything, and we had about a dozen trick or treaters last night , . Last year we had one...it was lovely seeing a gang of them coming from a house down the street who were having a kids Halloween party, complete with a smoke machine and inflatable ghosts...I answered the door to about 8 of them all dressed up and cute as a button...all their parents were there too to make sure they were safe which was lovely too...its so friendly here I'm so so glad we moved...right now onto my card for today which is using another of the fab new digi releases from Sugar Nellie, this is the gorgeous My Friend Flakey, I coloured him with distress inks and used another lush paper from the My Minds Eye Winter Wonderland collection, this one is called In The Neighbourhood...I cut some of the fabulous houses out to add a bit more dimensions and finished with a couple of punched snowflakes and a sentiment made from the name strip on the paper (see we crafters throw nothing away do we lol)...I'm entering this for the ABC Christmas challenge, Divas by Design challenge and the Just Keep on Crafting challenge too...Its supermarket day today oh and my lovely Dad has to go buy some reading glasses because although he has the eyesight of a spring chicken since his ops he still needs them to read...I might even manage to persuade him to have his hearing checked while we are the opticians, fingers crossed...then I think its time for a put the world to rights coffee, it needs it doesn't it...whatever your up to today say hello to a neighbour you will never know how much they appreciate it
