Tis nearly the season to be jolly!!

The poem above has been written by an EXTREMELY talented lady. Yvonne O'Connor is her pen name. She is a mother of 9 and grandmother of 14. She began her story writing and poetry career after her last children -twins started school. She is the proud posessor of 4 I.C.A art awards and 13 Brannaras for proficiency in crafts - Knitting,Crochet,Hand Sewing,Embroidery,Patchwork, Lace MAking, Mountmellick Lace, Machine Knitting,Dress Making, Cake MAking, Floral Displays and Gardening!! TAlk about making me feel TOTALLY inadequate!
I am delighted to have designed cards for her on different occassions for different poems she has composed and each and every poem is wonderfully descriptive and evocative. She posted me the poem CHRISTMAS RENDEVOUS last week and I love it.

These are some other cards I have done for the Season. Some decoupage for a change and I really enjoyed doing these.
