It's A "Happy Mail" Hogmanay...

Hi folks...it's the last day of 2016 or Hogmanay as we call it in my neck of the woods...time to say goodbye to the old year and welcome in the new...the old tradition of first-footing neighbours and friends has all but died out so I'll be toasting the new year with a dram on the stroke of midnight and heading off to bed as soon after as is deemed polite.
I won't be spending today taking part in the other age old tradition of cleaning the house from top to bottom either...domestic goddess I am not...dust is dust whether it's from 2016 or 2017. The cubbyhole crew have far more important things on their minds...our crafty space is overdue for a bit of a clear out again...gotta make room for the new crafty bits and pieces from "happy mail" parcels...the ones that got blown a little bit off course in the mania of the Christmas mail...didn't make it into Santa's sack and found themselves spending the festive season in the mail centre commonly known as the National Hub.
December's DT parcel of yumminess from Simon Says Stamp...
and since I dipped my toes back into the world of sewing to make lots of samples for Fiskars for the Stitches Trade Show in February which hopefully I can share with you soon...it's rekindled my love of all things stitching from years gone by and I can't tell you how excited I was to receive this parcel of Eclectic Elements fabric fabulousness from my favourite Christmas Elves...Tim and Mario...a huge thank you again guys from the bottom of my heart for your kind hearts and amazing generosity...
and I can't wait to get the sewing machine fired up
BUT...A VERY VERY SPECIAL
 "exciting adventure" PARCEL is on it's way
so I need to get a wiggle on with January's DT projects and clear the decks ready for some inky fun. Have fun tonight whether you're out and about painting the town red or just having a quiet night with family and friends and I'll see you all in 2017
