Tis the Season

The countdown to Christmas is on! Visit A Fields Journal for this festive paper garland tutorial. I think I could do something like this hanging off every chair around the dinner table for Christmas lunch. You could even mix it up with different coloured paper or ribbons. How darling!

Some people are Christmas people and others ...meh.... not so much. Me, I LOVE Christmas. This year I've decided I'm going to have as much Christmas spirit as possible. Carols by Candlelight? Yes. Making stockings and decorating a tree? Check. Last weekend I bough the Christmas special of Inside Out and it doesn't disappoint. Just look at some of these beauties!
