Hi gang, so I had a lovely first day of my jollies (holiday) today, i had a bit of a sleep in, baked a little and had a visit from my mam, she spoilt me rotten with lovely cheer me up presents....wanna see?
The cutest xmas cake stand, too cute right?
Super cute xmas sign i just love it, you like my paper chains? both of my pressies are from Laura Ashley and i had often swooned over them. She also brought tons of chocolate and yummy things so very spoilt.
We had a little trip to Baa Ram Ewe which was looking all xmassy
I dont have any other photos from our day but it was jolly nice and my MIL popped round too so we all had a natter whilst knitting.
So the title of this post 20 Questions, i kinda copied this from someones blog so edited a few just a few festive questions which were fun to answer, feel free to steal them from me coz it was fun.

Rachel,
I have traced the questions back to YOU so far. Did you start this? Great idea. I also posted questions on my blog, and added a few additions of my own. I am in the U.S., but agree that it is Merry CHRISTmas, and not happy holidays. So -- MERRY CHRISTMAS to YOU!
