A Merry Christmas

The very nice people at Balsam Hill asked me to review one of their products and sent me this lovely Norwegian spruce Christmas wreath...now all their products are very realistic and excellent quality, with a ten year guarantee on their trees, and when it arrived I could happily have hung it on the wall with no added decoration at all.........


but for the purpose of the review, although I only received it yesterday, I quickly added some snow spray, tiny apples that didn't make their way onto the tree, a couple of pine cones and a ribbon, and voila, it was all dressed up in time for Christmas!

I must admit that next year, when I have more time to play, I fancy a really organic look for this wreath, so will probably stick to pine cones, cinnamon sticks and a flamboyant hessian bow - I can see it in my minds eye already......




On to some of the lovely handmade Christmas cards I have received this year, thank you all so much

From my niece Ffion.....



and my big buddy Kath Stewart


From Maryellen.....

From my much loved and missed ex Florida neighbour Bev.....


Mary from my Florida craft group.....


 Cheryl from my Florida craft group....


and Bev from my Florida craft group - miss you guys so much!


and finally from my very good friend Anne - this one isn't just handmade - it's an original drawing, and hand painted, now that''s talent!


Lastly, I want to wish each and every one of you a very merry Christmas, I hope that wherever you are, the day will be a peaceful and joyous one for you.
I am taking a couple of days off from blogging, but will be back soon enough hopefully with no tales of kitchen disasters and gift failures! x

  7. Beautiful wreath Enfys. I made my own holly wreath this year and, once I got through the pain barrier, I really enjoyed doing it - very strong gardening gloves needed! What beautiful cards you have received, nothing can beat a hand made card. Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2015 to you and yours, to all your followers too. Thank you so much for that last 12 months of your blog, you have given so much inspiration to us all. Pat xx
