I am so blessed with Emily - who I call my daughter number two - as she carried this 6foot Christmas tree downstairs all on her own and then brought the tubs with the white and silver decorations in. We also sorted out the resin snowflakes I'd made and put them on the tree too. Then she put the bower on the mantlepiece.

I must admit - she's very quick and after a few years, she's learned how I think and proceeds to do what I would do, straight away.


So the fireplace looks quite festive and it took her about 5 minutes to tweak it to look right. Then she turned her attention to the tree.


I think white and silver looks okay - but I may decide to add a bit of red later!!!! I put a lot of my resin snowflakes on the tree too, so I'm pleased that they look okay. I'm giving a few away for Christmas presents to my friends - so they can add them to their Christmas trees too.


Then the last picture is the evening one - no daylight to keep it light. I hope everyone is starting to prepare for Christmas. I've written a few Christmas cards and Emily has posted them, now I've just got to write a few more for those nearby.

Then it's wrapping pressies time - I really do enjoy doing that - I just panic in case I've forgotten someone!!!! So enjoy yourselves - please stay safe and I'll be in touch again very soon.
