BUDDING artist Eleanor Woolmore didn't know when she made a picture for her Grandma that people all over the world would share her Christmas good cheer.

Eleanor made a picture for her Gran, Annie Woolmore, of Main Street, Addingham, which has been used by Ilkley company Bionatura as a design for their Christmas cards, sent as far afield as the Caribbean and New Zealand.

Mrs Woolmore, who was delighted with the picture which portrays Santa Claus holding a sack that is simply too small to carry Grandma's special present, took it to Hadfield Photocraft in Addingham to have it made into a card design.

And from there it was spotted by Bionatura and this year has been chosen and sent as their message of Christmas goodwill across the globe.

Mrs Woolmore said of her granddaughter: "There is something about her style. She is artistic and I am sure she is going to be artistic later in life."

Now Eleanor, aged six, will have the opportunity to develop her artistic skills with a super present of art materials from Bionatura for her charming seasonal design.
