Merry Goings On!

Total mayhem here yesterday. Look who turned up on the doorstep. Elf Boss himself.  Said he had come to check up on his little mate but I think he heard that 'The Doc' had bought a bottle of Bourbon!!
 The penguins are still turning up by the boatload.  Had a complaint from the waterboard that penguins had been seen waddling along the stream that is the concourse for keeping the lower end of the village from flooding. Said they were building a dam (which is contrary to waterboard regulations) and collecting the fish that were coming through .  Had lots more offers of food for them which is being quaffed at an alarming rate.
In  the evening just sitting down to a bread sandwich when the door bell went again and we could hear singing. Was expecting the Salvation Army to be doing their usual rounds but The Doc said no he didn't think it was them as the uniform was wrong. "Well how are they dressed?" I asked him.
Back came the reply
"Like Penguins"!!!!

DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR.
Jut yell through the letter box that there is NO FISH AT THE INN.

I will leave you with the Christmas card I made for The Doc

 and of course he got a cracker made for him too.

I am now down a very dark hole which I will stay in for  the next few days. When I emerge this will all have been a terrible nightmare. There will be no Elves or Penguins and the sun will be shining on a warm  Summers day.


Wishing You All
A
Merry Christmas.

Love to see Elf Boss himself again. I'll show him to Harry!
That was too bad, penguins at the door yelling that there was no fish.
I love that penguin. Did you made it yourself? Gorgeous!
Your card for Doc is beautiful. Curious what's in the fab cracker.
Wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year without elves and penguins (anyway during the first months).

Hello there Valery, and Happy Boxing day. I hope you had a lovely day yesterday. I hope they Elves behaved themselves yesterday and let you have a good Christmas. I'm just trying to picture a carol singing choir of penguins, what a hoot, have a relaxing day, Kate x x

No doubt Doc liked this lovely card a lot...
We have no salmon left here so the penguins will just have to find another fish pond whilst on their travels! x

Poor you, with Elves and penguins will not have easy Holidays! Hold the bourbon...
Such adorable card you made for your Hubby! The shadows are just perfect! LOVE it so much and I'm sure he too! Also the cracker is delightful!

We could do with a dam here before we float away. Still more rain but no fish so DON'T send penguins. See you in March when you crawl out. X (Those crackers look fantastic.)

Hmmm, not sure whether the Elf Boss is fun and whimsical or downright frightening, haha! Hope you and the Doc had a wonderful Christmas, elves and penguins aside...and that the New Year is a healthy and happy one! Thanks for always giving me a chuckle and giggle, and for sharing your beautiful projects on your blog.

Got me laughing here Mrs A - it sounds like pandemonium over your way! But fun - once they go back home of course :)

Vicky Hayes said...

Haha, sounds like lots of fun going on over your way Mrs A! I expect you got rid of those pesky penguins and settled down to a quiet moment with Doc's bourbon - for medicinal purposes only of course!
Hope you had a lovely Christmas and wishing you a very happy 2020.
