Well I have finally had my much awaited dusting of 'Elf magic' and am starting to feel a wee bit Christmassy.
So don't say I didn't warn you. Saturday I dragged out the Christmas boxes and did a little bit of "throwing Christmas" about. I have oodles of Christmas decorating items (because I have a problem) and every year I start out by saying I'll just put a little bit up and as soon as I open a box and see some of my Christmas favourites I just have to open one more to look for such & such and then it is all over bar the Christmas tunes. I was resisting starting this process until my DIL said "you're late with your decorating this year". So at the moment my house looks like Santa and the Elves and Reindeers have been into the Brandy Sauce and the "funny" Christmas brownies and gone completely mad. Boxes are littered everywhere with Decos hanging out of them and I am thinking why? why? why? can't I be like everyone else and just have a tree.
On Sunday the gorgeous
MAREE onmyverandah.blogspot.com and I travelled down to Cleveland on Brisbane's Bayside to meet up with other Brisbane Bloggers for a cuppa and a nice lunch. It was a typical Queensland day with lots of sunshine and a tad warm. We had a great time and I loved getting to know these beaut Brisbane (and surrounding areas) girls. I also discovered once again it really is a small world. Now I hope blogger plays nice because I want to show you the photos of these lovely girls.

ReplyDeleteYou sound like me at Christmas....One of Miss Molly's friends walked in a couple of years ago and said..."Oh my Gosh it looks like Santa threw up in here!!!" Lol so if you think you have lots of Xmas things you are not alone...And every year it grows...x

ReplyDeleteHi Michelle just wanted to tell you you are not alone with the going overboard on the xmas decorating - I too just love it - I sew xmas all year round, and can't walk past a chrissy deco that catches my eye in a shop. It is now so bad I have to put many of my everyday treasures away for a month or two just to accommodate my xmas lol
ReplyDeleteLooks like you ladies had lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the Christmas throwing results it sure is pretty when done.
