SHOW US WHAT YOU GOT! Christmas Edition

(which is our way of saying 'ANYTHING GOES' only for this challenge we are asking that you make a Christmas project)

 and today's featured image is 'NATIVITY'

I am proud to announce the Special Invited Guest Designer for this challenge ....

 

 In a nutshell, Margy is a Christian, widow, mom to 3 beautiful daughters, and granny to 4 absolutely delightful, grandchildren. She was born in the UK in a small town called Tunstall, one of the 5 “pottery” towns in Staffordshire.  Her dad made a bold decision just after she was born, to emigrate to South Africa, and she therefore considers herself as a South African, with British and Dutch blood lines.

Her crafting life took off just after she was married, and Margy has probably tried every new craft that has hit the South African scene! However it was only after she turned 55, that she attended oil painting classes. Apart from painting, her other interests/hobbies are genealogy (already traced her family lines back to the 1600’s), scrapbooking, restoring wooden furniture, mosaic, and now card making and digistamp designing.   Her day job is a locust researcher (yes, the insect with 6 legs), as well as the Project Office Manager for a South African research organization.
