Second Helpings for FMS#615

I'm hearing that some of my Christmas cards have arrived in the UK and Australia - such good news as in prior years they took more than a month to arrive!  

Karren's Sketch #615 at Freshly Made Sketches kept me crafting - always a good thing - this time a non-holiday card!


I had the Pinked Stars version of that fun ribbon maker from The Greetery - as soon as I saw it, I knew just the thing for the 'circular' shape of Karren's Sketch!  Isn't he a cutie?  Another set from PTI - Happy Owl-O-Ween!

There's a second owl in the set - he is going to be added to our Paper Village along with a small herd of deer, and a little fox!  If you follow me @mfergu01 on Instagram, you'll see photos from this year's display.  If you don't 'do' IG here's a link to see it before my owl is added.

Hope you've had time to stop by because ALL of your holiday chores are complete!  Thanks so much!
