One month today and I'm sure a lot of us will be sitting down, possibly in front of the fire, watching Christmas TV, wishing we hadn't eaten that last roast potato or that second helping of Christmas pud, wondering how we will ever eat another thing, then Boxing Day morning our appetite has miraculously re-appeared!

We all have our Christmas traditions and tend to repeat them year after year, especially when they have gone down well...

At Utopia Furniture Group where I work, we started a bit of a tradition last year - to run a competition where there would be daily winners who would be entered into an overall prize draw to win the top prize... Last year we did the 12 Daves of Christmas and this year we are running the 12 Dogs of Christmas, where an adorable bunch of pooches, dressed in all known possible Christmas doggy outfits from elves to a turkey are going to be inviting you to join them from 1st to 11th December.

Check out the facebook campaign and see if you beg to differ (pardon the pun!)

So I couldn't help but scrap some of these pooches in action! Hettie is our MD's dog and what a superstar she was!

Not only is she the face of the campaign but she is our 10th dog of Christmas... Dressed in her Little Miss Santa outfit looking totally adorable, she behaved like a true superstar!

 All the stash is from Hey Little Magpie...

Stunning glittery thickers...

I'm loving the latest range from Crate - Open Book

Not to mention my recent discovery of embossing paste through a mask...

Gotta love the beautiful lustre of that gold embossing paste...

And for a wintery twist, why not sparkle with silver?

A bit of machine stitching for detail...

And a silhouette cut file for a title - my silhouette is out of action until my computer is repaired!

Sadly we haven't backed up in a couple of years and our photos may be lost - I currently have one very upset photographer husband - hindsight is a great thing isn't it!
