Thursday This and That….including that film report….

I have been slowing down a little, having bought all of my Christmas gifts (well, apart from some gift cards for those difficult members of the family(you know who you are!!!)
I have had time to look back over my busy week to show you some of the things I missed! 
First of all, the fabulous paper cut card my middle son made for me..

It is quite a large box card and after the Christmas cards come down it will be on permanent display! It looks different from every angle and I am so honoured that he made it for me!

Next is a bargain shop I had on Sunday!
This is not an advert for a Sparks card but if you don't have one I would highly recommend that you do (this is only for UK readers here)
We called in to M and S at Middlebrook for some food and to spend a voucher that was due to expire on Sunday!

We spotted some items for gifts and also some Christmas decorations too!

Here is my receipt…

The assistant serving us was almost as excited as we were!!

I have also completed a journal page that began like this..

 I made this way back in August but don't remember what I had in mind...

..but I am quite pleased that it was beside me on it's side when I saw…. funky Christmas foliage!! I added some red and blue using my Inktense crayons and water and then some black and white pen doodles…just right for my Paper Artsy Elenazinskiart stamps to celebrate Christmas, I used my greeting stamp upside down too as  that bird looks although he is trying to avoid an Oh! Oh! Oh! moment!!
I am joining Sheila at Art Journal Journey with her theme of "Lets Celebrate!"

Now, for Neet, and anyone else who is interested, we went to see the  new Star Wars film - The Last Jedi on Tuesday!
I was a bit concerned when I saw the length of the film so made sure I went to the loo first(sorry if that's too much information!)
I remember seeing the first Star Wars film (in fact I won a trip for my class by entering their art work in a competition)and to me this was just as exciting as that first one, although two of the key actors from that first film have aged too!!(I won't spoil it if you don't already know who they are!)
There is a proper story to this and could be seen as a one off although there are references to previous events. There will be another film to follow, but hubby tells me it will be the last!

If you are still with me I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas if you don't return here before Sunday!

Thanks for looking, Chris
