GECKO GALZ - Christmas Dreams

 Welcome to my blog

Today is the start of a new month and a new challenge on the Gecko Galz Blog

The theme this month is: Christmas Dreams

And as a special gift, a fabulous Christmas Collage Sheet:

Thank you, Leanne and Gecko Galz!!

Yesterday was my last day on the Gecko Galz Design Team (for the moment)
 I decided to take a break for a while.

It was not an easy decision and I already miss some of the excitement.

It was an amazing experience and I enjoyed every minute.

The past year had ups and downs for me personally and I hope I can return at a later stage. We don't know what the future will bring.

Have fun with the Collage Sheet, and visit the other DT members who also have free sheets for you.

I hope to make a pretty tag or 2 soon.

Ohh and there are lovely free sheets every week when you spend $2 or more! 

Watch this space!

Beccy's Place - The letter B

 Welcome!

Another card for today!

The second card at last for Beccy's Place: A month of Holiday Cards Challenge

Today the letter is B and I'm using Baby Crocodile from Beccy's Place

Baby Crocodile is holding a Bear so there is another B
I dressed him in a red T-shirt with a pretty green Bow for his First Christmas

Yes, Beccy, you have inspired me to create Christmassy Animals with a tweak here and there

Thank you for visiting!

There are more to come, but that's it for today!

Beccy's Place - The Letter A

 Welcome!

The first card at last for Beccy's Place: A month of Holiday Cards Challenge

Yes, I'm starting with the letter A and playing catch-up all the way!

My first card has Chocolate Strawberries from Beccy's Place on them: 

Don't they look yummy with their shiny glaze on?

In Afrikaans, my home language, a strawberry is an Aarbei.

Strawberries remind me of Christmas time here in Cape Town. Nowadays, the strawberry season is quite long, but when growing up, the season was mainly in November. My dad would go and buy strawberries on the farms in Stellenbosch and then my mom would make this glorious strawberry syrup with whole strawberries. Not a jam, but really a thick syrup. You guessed it, on Christmas day that was served with ice cream. What a wonderful memory. I never got the recipe from my mum before she passed away, but I think I must try making it this year in memory of those days.

Hope you like my creation!
