Good Reads and the Christmas Spirit.....

 I have spent the last week catching up with chores, de-stressing and reading.....a LOT !

When I ordered Milly's latest book from the library, I expected a long wait but it came in pretty quickly.  Having just finished the Heidi Swain which Gill had sent me, it came at the opportune moment for a Christmas read.  The weather was foul; wet, wild and windy so it wasn't too much of a stretch to imagine it was snow falling, and to get into the bones of this book.  Oh I LOVED it!  If you get the chance, please do give it a go.  It drew me in to the characters in the first few pages and kept me gripped right to the end.  And a very satisfying end it was too 😊

I had also reserved another book: The Midnight Bookshop by Amanda James and, when I went to pick it up, I also spotted Heidi Swain's Home For Christmas and nabbed that one too.  I have until December 11th to return them both so I think Amanda James first then the Heidi Swain......

I have 3 more Amanda James ones to read but I think I'll hold them back until Spring now that I'm in the Christmas/ dark days/ bad weather mode.

Are you into Christmas reading yet?

When I visited the Hospice shop last week I could see that a box of my handmade Christmas cards were on display.  I have donated 35 so far and just 10 were left (after a week) so they are definitely selling......

The birthday cards too had almost sold out so the weekend has been spent making as many as I could during the daylight hours.  It gets so dark now and working at the kitchen table makes matching colours a little trickier than during the brighter days of Spring and Summer.

However, I now have another batch to drop off tomorrow making a total of 400 since March this year.  Woohoo! 😍

Thanks so much for popping in.  Do stay safe and well wherever you happen to be,
