It's beginning to look a lot...

...like Christmas.
My friend Claire is giving away a Christmas Candy for her followers to celebrate 60+ folk now following her blog. If you are one of her followers don't forget to drop by and leave her a lovely comment and add your name to the 'linky' thing.

After all the Red/White/Blue that was filling the shops over the Summer (??? - we did have a Summer so they tell me) the Halloween goodies are starting to appear...lots of Black/Orange/Purple...but if you look closely, you'll see that there are also Christmassy bits creaping onto the shelves too.

The Christmas craft ranges are starting to take over from most of the general stuff and I'm really enjoying the mix of kraft with some of the more traditional colours.

Most of the magazines are now full of Autumn and Winter things, whether they be fashion mags or crafting ones...gosh how the seasons wizz by.

I have been rather bad this year with regard to my Christmas cards. I really haven't made that many **hangs head in shame** but I have been knitting so at least I've got a few presents made. I think I need to knuckle down and get some cards sorted before I suddenly realise that Christmas is just around the corner...................................
