This next photo is of a lovely Santa handpainted by the very clever Teresa. He almost missed out on a piccie as he was very happy amongst the branches of the Christmas tree.
I don't know about you but the madness of this time of year really ends up getting to me a bit and so I try to keep it simple and do as much as I can as early as I can to avoid the craziness....sometimes you JUST have to venture out. Like I did yesterday but when I finally got around to blog hopping I wondered in childlike awe at the beautiful graphics of Rose Petals from Heaven. Which have the ability to just make you feel better. Here is a little peak and they are two of my favourite things as well .....
I hope you are maintaining your equilibrium out there and that your Christmas Spirit hasn't lost it's Jingle Bells
yet.

Aren't you a lucky girl! I especially like the snowmen quote, very cute. Sharyn:) ( found out I don't receive replies because I don't have a blog)
ReplyDeleteI love handmade ornaments, and yours are lovely. They make the tree so much more than a designer showpiece. We are having a quiet Christmas at home so keeping the spirit is very easy this year.....but there is quite a bit of cooking ahead of me.
