OH, I WISH IT COULD BE CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY

Hi everyone

Well, perhaps not every day - just a bit too expensive and all that card-writing and present wrapping would be exhausting   Christmas is lovely, but once a year is enough I think.

Yipee, my white Christmas tree arrived and is now decorated and standing proudly in the porch - minus a top embellishment though. I haven't seen one I really like and I know in the spirit of Christmas Pie Crafts, I should make one, but think I will keep looking in the shops.  Not sure if I want a large red star or a fairy dressed in red.

Here is a pic of the porch - a little wonky, but think it gives the idea - may try one when it is dark to see the tree with the lights on.  Problem is as soon as you open our front door, the sensors kick in and the porch light goes on!  I will have to try to creep up on it and get a sneaky in-the-dark picture.


A busy day today - must get those cards made, written and posted.  Would you believe I actually wrapped some presents yesterday?  Little and often I think is my plan.  Couple of deliveries and a visit from a gas fitter today - we have been trying to get hold of a registered gas fitter and it seems to be proving pretty nigh on impossible.  Have emailed 6, only 2 replied - clearly the recession has not hit the gas fitter world.  Perhaps I should re-train.

Have a good day everyone - card-writing, pressie wrapping and big weekend get-together permitting, I will be back with Handmade Monday.
