I do love Christmas so very much, all the shopping and trimming and wrapping and shopping, oh how I love it. 

This weekend my favourite farmers market is on and so I will be spending this morning roaming around oohing and aahring at all the lovely handmade and home cooked goods.  I have only a few gifts left to buy for Christmas and I hope to get them today.  I’ll be spending the evening watching The Bill and Parky while wrapping gifts and putting them under the tree.  Yeahhhh!

Last weekend I had this brilliant idea to make my own wreath to hang at the front door, that was the plan.  I gathered my bits together, painted the foam wreath gold and started adding my glittery bits.  Then I realised I needed more bits, so I got lots of red shiny baubles, and that is were it all began to unravel.  How to attach those darn baubles to a painted foam wreath?  I tried to glue them but the painted finish stopped them from sticking and made a mess, ahhhhh!  I tried stabbing them into the wreath but that just mushed the foam… f#@/*!!!  So today, with a week to re-think things and calm myself, I am going to try wiring them on!  Wish me luck.

I hope everyone enjoys a wonderful weekend, filled with lots of lovely shopping, decorating and of course more shopping!

Later that same day ……….

 Well the market was great and I spent all my money, no surprises there.  I was able to get all the things on my list including three new book marks, a Christmas tree cookie cutter, delicious nectarins and the best tasting popcorn in the world, OK maybe not the world, but it’s very very good smothered in cinemon and a little suger and butter.  

Red the wonder dog didn’t miss out, we got him a big heshen bed to go outside in the kids cubby house and here he is trying on his new collar.  Sniff sniff, he’s moved up to a big boys collar, oh they grow up way too fast!

With all that shopping done I guess it’s time to get out the wrapping paper and get them safely under the tree.
