I Love Baubles!
Bauble Girl is my personal card and mailshot for Christmas 2010. It seemed quite fitting as I really am a bauble addict! The lovely tree card is by Jane Foster and the snow dome by Lisa Jones.
'Rudolf the Sausage Dog' (above) is now sold out. I have a handful of Hubert xxx cards available here. The brilliant tree card on the left of the picture is by Walter Erhard. It was designed in the 1960s.

LEGO for Christmas
I picked up this LEGO Snowman last Christmas. It was one of a series of 3 kits which also included Father Christmas and a Christmas Tree with Baubles.
