It's that time again!

Sending all of you my love and best wishes for the festive season, however you celebrate. I've received beautiful cards from lots of you, and I appreciate them all. I'll do a proper thank you post after Christmas when I get them down off the wall :)

So, I'll take this opportunity to wish you love and laughter, good health and safe travels. I hope your festive season is everything you want it to be.

And just for fun, here's a little Christmas triple drabble I wrote...

SPN100 Challenge: Decisions Decisions - Dizzojay - Supernatural (TV 2005) [Archive of Our Own]

Now that the sorting out from Christmas is over, I want to post here to thank you all for the wonderful load of fandom cards that I received. It's always a delight to see a card drop through my door with an overseas stamp on it, and please know I appreciate each and every one, together with all the stickers, sweeties and other goodies that they included!

This year I got such a wonderful selection of cards from

I just want to take this opportunity to wish everyone love and happiness during the festive season, however you celebrate.

Thank you for sticking with me throughout 2023!

So, it's that time of year again when I think about Christmas and holiday season cards. If you are on my Christmas list, then you'll get one - if you've changed your address in the last year, please let me know otherwise you won't get one!! :)

If you're not on my Christmas list and would like one, please PM me with your real name and postal address, and I'll add you to my list.

All my cards will be Supernatural themed and will be my own design.

Oh look, Dean's writing his cards too!

I just want to take a moment to thank all my lovely fandom friends for your cards. It's so special to receive cards from all around the world (I'm sure my postman must wonder what's going on!) and I love each and everyone of them, together wth the various little gifties such as stickers, sunflower seeds and mulled wine sachets that came with them.

These are all the gorgeous cards I got, and here's a sincere thank you to (in no particular order)

And to my friends not on Lj: Chris and Natalie, Malou, Wendy, Steph and Jacq

If you sent me a card and I haven't mentioned it, it could be that it hasn't reached me yet. We've got postal strikes going on all over the place here in the UK, and lots of post is getting delayed, sometimes for a long time. I appreciate the thought even if I haven't received your card!

I've got to share with you the sad tale of our dinner on Christmas Eve!! 😂😂

We were having green beans, a gammon joint and Mr D was using this as an opportunity to try out his roast potatoes ahead of Christmas day.

Mr D was cooking, and I was sitting in the living room when I suddenly heard a massive crash. I ran out into the kitchen and the gammon joint was on the floor; it had apparently skidded halfway across the room leaving a trail of juice and gravy behind it. Apparently it had slipped out of Mr D's hands as he was taking it out of the oven. The pyrex dish that it had been cooking in was smashed to bits and there were shards of glass everywhere. Barry and I picked the gammon up off the floor to see if we could clean it up and salvage it, but it was full of glass fragments, so it was inedible; we couldn't even put it out for the foxes. 😕.

At this point, the green beans and the roast potatoes were all done and ready, so in the end, I had a dinner of roast potatoes and green beans - for the record, they were beautifully cooked. Mr D managed to find one slice of ham lurking at the back of the fridge to add to his dinner.

Definitely one of the more memorable meals I've ever had!!!

It's that time of year again. Wishing all my gorgeous F/listies a fabulous festive season in whichever way you celebrate.
Thank you for another year of friendship and fun. Looking forward to spending 2023 with you all xxx

You voted and we listened!

The most votes for our Christmas tree topper went to winged!Cas, and so ... here he is! :)

Mr D and I are in the process of setting up the Christmas tree, and we have a quandary, so I am seeking the wise counsel of my dearest F/listies.

We always have a specific angel - namely Castiel - on top our tree, but we can't decide, so we're asking you to vote on which Castiel should top our tree this year!

You have three hours!

Here are your choices:

Mini Classic Castiel
Mini Winged Castiel
Teeny Weeny Castiel
Mystery Mini Castiel
Mini French Mistake MIsha (who counts as an angel for this purpose)
Mini Steve Castiel (see above)

Your opinion matters!!!

Sorry I'm a little bit late with this, but we only took our Christmas decorations down on Wednesday, so I've only just had the chance to collect all my cards together and thank all my amazing fandom friends for them!

supernutjapan, and my non-Lj friends, Wendy, Jacq, Malou, Natalie and Chris, Stephanie, and I even got a card from June's sisters.

Thank you for all the various stickers and pictures and treats that were in the cards, and for my lovely presents including some cute badges, a journal, and a pack of Supernatural tarot cards!

I've been a very lucky

dizzojay! *hugs you all*

Apologies if I missed anyone, it's not because I didn't appreciate your card, it'll be because I've got a head like a sieve!

Crowley recently ran a Christmas fic exchange at

This Christmas was our first Christmas with the bunnies, so of course, we had to involve them in the celebrations. Their main gift from us was a twig and pinecone Christmas wreath which they've been nibbling and gnawing ever since then.

We also bought them a little wooden Christmas tree which you can see in the corner of the picture and that has been well and truly nibbled to bits since then.

They were also treated to lots of other toys and goodies - thanks to my Mum, some work colleages and

sasha_dragon. We'll be divvying out their gifts over the next few days/sweeks so that they get to appreciate them all individually!

They are seriously spoiled buns!

Once again, the Festive season is upon us, and once again I want to take the opportunity to thank you all for your friendship which, as always, means so much to me.

I wish you and yours all the festive joy in the world. Stay safe, have fun, and I hope you find these lovely gentlemen under your tree tomorrow morning!

(Always assuing they're not under mine, of course!! ;)

I have an annual tradition of doing a craft project over the Christmas break, and this year I've decided to attempt my very first cross-stitch.

It seems, however, that my living room light isn't bright enough fo such fiddly work, so to preserve my poor, 53-year-old eyesight, I've had to ake other arrangements:

So after missing our annual Christmas meet up last year - for obvious reasons. But this year, we were determined it should go ahead!

In the end ten of us;

theymp and his lovely daughter, Lily,

heavenli24,

andiivalo,

edina_clouds128, Chris and Natalie, a Mum and Daughter we have come to know from various conventions, and Sam and Brenda,

jj1564's son and sister, met up at a nice restaurant in London for lunch. We did a secret santa, had Spn-themed Christmas crackers and just generally had a wonderful catch up - a very long overdue one!

Here's a few pics of the day!

So, I've got my Christmas cards for this year (non-Supernatural ones anyway!)

I took the buns for a professional Christmas photoshoot - and this is the result!!

Christmas has never looked so cute!!

Suddenly, it's coming up to that time of year again...

It's time for me to get my Christmas/Holiday card act together!

So, if you would like a Christmas card (or a 'Seasons Greetings card) from me and you're not already on my card list, or if you're on my card list and you've changed your address this year, let me know your address and which sort of greeting you'd prefer as a comment to this post (comments are screened), or as a PM if you prefer.

My cards will be my own designs and will all be Supernatural-themed (shocker!!) just in case you were wondering ;)

Thank you!

I want to say thank you so much for all the gorgeous Christmas cards. I love getting cards from my fandom buddies both from here in the UK and from overseas, and it's so exciting to see them drop onto the doormat. My postman must wonder why we're getting card from every corner of the globe!

Therefore, it's time for me to get my Christmas/Holiday card act together!
