Hi Again.

Hi Everyone, I must apologise for my all too infrequent posting of late (actually for the best part of 2010!) but now I have my very own laptop, thanks to hubby for the best Christmas surprise ever, I will have no excuse for being so slack.

Thankyou too, to those who offered advice re my selling dilemma. I have had some recent success with ebay including the bedhead that I recently made over.







So I will soon be listing this cute little cupboard that Sandy at Paint Me White painted beautifully for me.

I thought I would show you just a couple of Christmas ideas that I did on the cheap before Christmas completely fades from our minds.

First... I wanted a novel way to display our Christmas cards (we seem to get less every year, sign of the times maybe) and spied this bamboo expanding garden trellis for around $5. I will probably paint it and use it to display photos once I have de-Christmased the house.

Next is this wreath which is just a polystyrene ring covered with a 5 dollar feather boa purchased from the childrens dress up aisle. I have another one to do and once again will use them in the house throughout the year.

Lastly, and I hesitate to do this as it's putting myself out there a bit, I have included a link to my Church website. It contains video of our recent Christmas Carol Service at which I sang a solo. I have done a lot of singing in the past but not so much in recent years so the old pipes are a bit rusty. If you can be bothered viewing I hope you enjoy the song and appreciate the message contained in it. I had a power point showing at the same time, mainly to deflect attention from myself, (although that was a bit hard given there was a blinding spotlight on me!) but it also really helped portray the meaning of the words.

Here's the link Reedy Creek Baptist Church Look under the drop-down menu of the heading "Resources" and click on Christmas Carols 2010

My song is the 4th on the list.

A Few Light Touches

Contrary to my non-conformist nature, 'cause I'm usually such a rebel (saturated in sarcasm that comment was), I have gone with the status quo and done a bit of Chrissy decorating...not too much mind you, but just enough to get us a bit more in the spirit of the Season.

I left the girls to do their thing with the tree and was pleasantly surprised...not much tweaking was necessary at all ;o)
Just missing the star off the top, oops.

Don't you hate it when you are anticipating a good TV show all week and then forget to watch it! Well I've been waiting 2 weeks for the next episode and tonight I am going to sit and enjoy To the Manor Bowen .......someone give Millie a pill please ;o)
