One bright, cold morning...

One bright, cold morning Sian looked out of her bedroom window and saw that it had been snowing overnight. She clapped her hands together with delight and ran into her parent's bedroom to tell them the news, but they were both still fast asleep.

Sian tiptoed downstairs, put on her big green coat and quickly slipped her feet into her new red boots. She opened the kitchen door and stepped outside into the wintery whiteness.

Her breath came out in little clouds in the chilly air.

As she walked across the garden Sian saw that she left little footprints behind her in the snow: one-two, one-two, one-two.

Just then she noticed other footprints. These were very different to her own as they went: one-two-three- four, one-two-three-four...

Sian bent down to have a closer look, and as she did she spied something orangey brown lying on the bench under the big tree. It was a fox!

The fox looked at Sian.

Sian looked at the fox.

Sian blinked and the fox blinked back!

Suddenly the fox stood up and shook himself. He looked just like Alfie the dog and Sian laughed as the fox shook a cloud of soft snow from his beautiful fur...

Sorry, I just couldn't resist a little Enid Blyton moment!

I really love the sketch that Jane picked for the Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge this week.

As you can see I rotated and 'personalised' it a bit!

This is the sweet Gourjuss girl stamp that I bought in the sale over at Funky Kits. Like so many of us in blogland I am a big fan of the Gorjuss girls created by the very talented Suzanne Woolcott. I have a few other Gorjuss images and can't wait to get colouring them with my new Pro-markers. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

If you want to see some truly fabulous Gorguss girl creations check out this card and also this card made by Vicky over at Kip's Cards.

So, now I must put on my big blue coat and brown boots and trudge to Tescos in the snow, I'll keep a look out for friendly foxes en route!

Happy crafting everyone!
