my Favourite tree
Inspired by Kristine Werner: We often have three trees up at Christmas , this page of my tree means alot to me as each year I am either given or buy 1 new decoration I date it and place it on the tree some of the decorations on this tree are from 1987 when I first started collection, some also have friends names on them from whence they came.

Karen Mc Nair
My Girlfriend Karen (Otago Girl) has been a stampin up Demo in Canada for quite some time and she has always sent me beautiful cards especially at Christmas , She is one of the reasons I too have become a demo as I already knew how much fun it would be Karen just couldn't help her self this year and sent me two beautiful cards , Karens work is always very exact and beautiful . I adore the city of David card she has made with gold embossing and vellum it is also gold embossed on the inside and lightly coloured.

Merry Christmas
About Jesus by John
In the beginning the Word already existed,
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God
He existed in the beginning with god.
God created everything through him,
and nothing was created except through him
The Word gave life to everything that was created,
and his life brought light to everyone,
The light that shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it
John 1: 1-6
