Such a Fun Christmas

 

Christmas 2011 was such fun and super daft

Just the tonic for such a hectic year of crazy fun and busy times of growing and learning

Christmas day was spent with the folkies - opening gifts, dress up fun,
eating super nosh, waaaaay too many sweets and savoury treats - my favourite

My amazing little sis was there with her fabby fella Dan
who is totally one of the family and such a top person

Boxing Day we travelled to the seaside to see my Nan
and some more family and had a late night curry with MORE board games and giggles

Such a brilliant time

I hope that you all had THE best Christmas too

You Make Me Happy

Wow

Phew

Ahhhhh

I have made it !!!!! All parcels posted as quickly as could be daily to get to my lovely shoppers

So many thank you messages from people saying that their orders had arrived in one day
and such brill Christmas Cheer messages

I am so grateful to you all
to my friends and family
for all their support through smooth and choppy waters
and with all of you as part of my life
I feel that a part of me is stronger, wiser and little more open eyed to see more of the world

Christmas relaxing and eating and drinking way too much is upon us
of living through at least 7 days when my alarm will not be on 
and many snatched snoozes, doodling, walking and chatting will be the order of each day

I wish you all the most beautiful Christmas !!!!!

and

THANK YOU all from the bottom of my warm old heart

My Handmade Christmas Inspiration Collection

This year I am well and truly embracing the idea of revamping, creating and making for thoughtful gifts

A tricky year for the world
and that nasty R word - recession has really made us value stuff
clutter and the beauty and worth of the things we have

I lap up the paint treatments from
All the Luck in the World

Her use of turquoise is bliss
and I have a pot at the ready to give frames and shelves
heavenly updates

Upcycling the contents of my jewellery box is gonna happen

I have amassed so many beads and earrings that have lost their mate
not to mention tonnes of clips and findings

Kelly from I'm Your Present has really inspired me !!!!!

This ribbon trick is just genius

Wrap red and white ribbon around practically anything
to give you a simple, cheap, effective gift solution

Print out some words onto paper
and frame for a dramatic focal point

Wooden Pegs for Cards

A MUST !!!!! - I have mine ready

A wreath made from the contents of the garden

Candy Walking Sticks - just look the part

and I love love love

these shelves - again from
All the Luck in the World

My Vintage Christmas

 

The theme for my Christmas this year is
suprise suprise
VINTAGE !!!!!

I have lots and lots of projects on the go
in amongst TONNES or photographing new products for my shop

I am loving the balance of practical creativity
and making creativity

I definitely know that my little mind sometimes misses the making creativity

In front of me in my lounge I now have a cute little arrangement of suitcases
for storage with an arrangement of my favourite book on top

A lovely quick little update and I know nearer Christmas that
some vintage decorations will be just the ticket

I adore these jam jars

Someone VERY special to me is finding a recent family loss really tricky
SO
I plan on doing something VERY special for her
to be happy to remember

Thanks elsie*cake for this wonderful little idea
