"5 Months Till Christmas Blog Hop"

Welcome to our monthly Christmas hop and yes only 5 more months till jolly old saint nick comes down the chimney and delivers all those lovely presents.When we get to spend time with all our loved ones. 

Well I know for us up here in southern Ontario its been quite a hot one lately and we had a wicked storm roll by last Friday. I'll be posting some photos below, it was defiantly a crazy one just was happy we didn't get the tornado that they were warning might have happened defiantly looked like it was about to.

Well if you are a regular follower of our monthly hop then you know the drill but if you are just stopping by then here is a quick overview of what we do each month.

2 Christmas ago my great friend Shari was having quite the struggle to complete her lovely Christmas cards in time and decided that it was just to much work to cram into the few months before the Christmas rush. She decided that she would challenge herself to make two cards each month so that when the time came she would have at least 22 cards ready. Along the way the group of us joined her and we now create a fun small hop each month to share our creations and hopefully give some inspiration to everyone who follows along each month.

If you have arrived here from the talented Mary`s Blog you are in the right place. If you have just happened upon my blog or are here for a visit and want to start from the beginning please head over to my very talented friend Shari`s Blog
