well i say "my" first christmas .. they are not for me, but have made them for an Autistic trust, to raise funds for this charity ...  as many of you who know me, are aware, that both my sons are on the autistic spectrum, so if i can help raise some money in research for this condition..then what a better way than to make some christmas cards....


we are still having some beautiful weather here on the Dorset coast ..and went out with my husband today into the New Forest for a cream tea.... we really don`t have much time for just "the two of us" , so every moment is special x
