Merry Christmas!

A great and appropriate Christmas card from Kate Spade.

Merry Christmas everyone! Have a relaxing and rewarding holiday with family and friends.

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer

Okay, I've done it. I have finally accepted that Christmas is looming large. I have a tiny place so there is no grand scheme of Christmas decorating  - I leave that to the family's HQ (aka my parent's place and Mum does a fabulous job). However, I surprised myself with a little Christmas purchase at Madder and Rouge the other day. I found my Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer who will bring the Christmas spirit to my house. He is grey and pale blue with white spots - not typical Christmas colours but totally my colours. I think he's rather fab and I'll enjoy his company over the next month and a bit.
(yes, that is Peonies in full bloom in the jug - I'm making the most of their short lived presence before the summer. Just beautiful)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a good day tomorrow.
I have wrapped all my gifts for my family and as I have previously posted about a 'touch of summer yellow', I decided to do this for my gift wrapping - yellow ribbon paired with silver starry paper.
Also I'm bit of a Scrabble nut so letters were used for the cards - the first letter of their name. Lots of fun.
