ABC Challenge GDT - N for Noel

Hi everyone

My post for my second GDT spot with ABC Challenge blog is late, because my cat Frank got injured. He's doing well now but had to spend a few days at the vets, thank goodness for a vet that will take an injured kitty at 9 pm on a Sunday night <3 Such a hero. Yet another cat emergency, what an awful year this has been :( Here's the little pet looking super handsome! :D

Anyway, back to crafty things :) I'm GDT over at the ABC Challenge Blog this month and the latest challenge went live on Monday. The theme this time is N is for Noel, and Magnolia-Licious is their sponsor this time.
