Glistening Frost and Ice

This is the third day of very heavy frost and freezing temperatures here in Ireland.  A lot of the country has experienced snowfalls and black ice.  Driving conditions are poor which doesn't help all those travelling over the holiday period.  Thankfully the boys are finished school for the holidays and hopefully this cold snap will pass (as it isn't normal Winter weather for here in Ireland).  Jack Frost is very busy !

Here are some of the foundation pages for my December Daily that I haven't shared yet.  I didn't photograph earlier ones as I changed them slightly as I went along but now feel that I probably won't deviate too much from the layouts I have already set out below.

Hero Arts Blog are featuring a montage of all the winning entries of their challenges during the year and I am so delighted to be amongst those winners.  Check it out here.
                                             

I am going to sign off for the next few days to enjoy this special time with my family and friends.  I am cooking tomorrow and have spent much of this morning prepping so that everything is ready. 

One recipe that I love to cook around this time of the year is Spiced Peaches by Nigella Lawson.  They take about 5 minutes to make and the Recipe is here.  They are also a great edible gift to bring along with you when visiting friends and family.   

Thanks so much for stopping by and wishing you all a wonderful holiday full of peace, love and joy. ♥
