Festive Creativeness!

Well, this year..as I get annoyed with finding assorted card packs that don't have a good example of varied designs of Christmas cards I have decided to make my own cards...and gift tags for that matter! Well, I do have Photoshop after all and all it takes is a blob of glitter glue to make the card more festive. Here's a few examples of what I made..it's a popular idea but instead of buying them..I made them!







I think I'm finished with everything now anyway. I just finished wrapping the presents, though have resolved never to buy teddies as gifts again as they are a bugger to wrap! The cards got posted out the other day and my Mum thanked me for hers so everyone else must have got theirs. I'm now finally starting to feel festive after all the fuss of getting it all sorted!

Result!

OK so a lot has happened since my last post. I am now officially an employee of The Royal Bank of Scotland, working at Natwest. So the 3 hour phone call was worth it! I have a huuuuuge welcome pack etc and have to go on a training course in Manchester in the New Year which should be good, though not looking forward to being away from my fella for 4 nights...I'm a soft touch!

So while I wait to start in January, I've been volunteering at Oxfam in Kendal. I've always taken an interest in Oxfam from my 6th form days so glad to help out there and gets first dibs on the nice stuff they get haha. It gives me something to do and a bit of a routine and also looks good on my CV. Plus, I've met some lovely people there, there aren't just old ladies who work there you know! Though I must say, some of the elder women there are slightly patronising as though I've never worked in a ship before..hmmmmmm... but seriously it's all good :-)

Can't wait to start the new year with a job! Then there will be the more serious hunt for a car....
