The decorations are up...


I've spent the last few days doing what I do best, decorating the house for christmas!! I got the pattern for the paper trees from the internet,


and this "forest" is from ikea.


We won the Jamie Oliver candle  in a raffle and it smells of oranges and spices,and I couldn't use an ordinary box of matches when these are so pretty could I?









The  mistletoe is  from aspen and brown and I threaded some pretty ribbon through the top and pegged a few small cards to it.



reindeer stables this way!


"dasher and dancer and prancer and vixen"



"comet and cupid and donner and blitzen"

I have a love of reindeer and at the last count there was 36, I have furry ones, glass, wooden, tin, night lights cardboard and painted stones, I just can't resist them.





and finally the tree with its branches full of treasured baubles that I've collected over the years.




Bye for now
