Short and ..... well, short - just the way Julia likes them. Busy weekend trying to get the bedroom looking like we actually use it - yeah - it is finished! Simply emptying boxes, suitcases but not the "sucky" bags as yet. Mopping the dust up ... and suffering like crazy with my back. So much so I have had to cancel my little op on the 28th but the good news is I can now eat at Christmas (otherwise it was going to be a silly pre-op diet for a week starting the 21st).
This has been my main Christmas card this year, well a copy of it because this is one my dear friend Mary sent a couple of years ago and one which I loved so much she sent me the die (it's a Top Note by Sizzix), and step by step instructions on how to cut the shape up - and even sent me the red glitter card that she thought was "the best" that I would not be able to get in the UK. So my card this year was a tribute to a dear friend who I miss like crazy, love and remember with such fondness. Hope you like it:
All that remains is for me to wish you all "A Very Happy Christmas" - hope it is a good one for you and now I am hopping over to see Julia and my fellow WOYWW'ers. Toodle Pip!

Oh Neet you will have time to appreciate it in the New Year and be very glad you chose to get it all done this side of the year rather than the other. Hope your back pain does not hinder the enjoyment of Christmas.
Wishing you a very Happy WOYWW Tracey #6

Oh I am glad that your bedroom is almost back to normal now! Sorry about your back though but you made the right decision about cancelling the op, at least you can enjoy the Christmas food and drink now!
I loved the card and the story behind it, wouldn't she be thrilled to know she is still talked about and remembered so fondly xx

Its a gorgeous card, thank you xx and such a beautiful sentiment. Sorry to hear about your op but as you say, it does mean you get to eat over the festive season. Hope your back eases up xx
So glad your bedroom is finally finished - yay! What a lovely Christmas present :-) Hope you soon get it all the way you want it and that your back pain eases. Good news about the op...even though it's a difficult call. Hope they reschedule early.
The card is so lovely... I'm so pleased mum sent me that die!

Hi Neet. trust your back soon recovers - even though it means a postponement of an op - but it does mean you get to enjoy your Christmas dinner! Many thanks for the card - it is lovely and now hangs on my lounge wall!
have a very special Christmas.
Take care. God bless.

I'm really sorry to hear that your back is so bad, Neet, but at least you can enjoy a Christmas dinner. I hope your operation won't have to be postponed for too long. Take care of yourself and I hope 2019 will be better health-wise for us all!
Happy WOYWW,

Love how you have put a good spin on your delayed op... Sorry to hear about the reasons though. Love your card, a beautiful tribute to Mary. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas.

A very merry Christmas to you too. Cute card!! Dorlene #29
Sorry to hear about your back but pleased the bedroom is ready! Love the card! Hugs, Chrisx
Yay for the finished bedroom, boo for the bad back. I hope that calms down soon. A great relief not to be on a pre-op diet over Christmas I would think, and I hope you can re-schedule the op without too much stress.
I love the pixie feet - such a bright, bold, funny design which will put a smile on anyone's face as they open up the envelope.
