If you’ve been following me for a while you know that last year I scored BIG on the Christmas bauble front! And I mean HUGE .. People, this is what happens when you mix a love .. (OK, let’s call it what it is .. obsession) .. for Christmas with a passion for Facebook Marketplace shopping .. I know! …..

No doubt you’ve seen them? Enter, the CUTE gnome .. They’ve been around for a few years now, and people are adapting them for all seasons. They’re also know as a gonk .. the funny little fellow with his hat pulled waaaay too far over his eyes, but resting on his big nose. Which makes him look even more adorable!…

I’ve gradually been adding Christmas decorations to our kitchen. But our breakfast bar was still empty. Which just won’t do! 😉 Thing is, I didn’t want an elaborate display. We use our kitchen a LOT and I didn’t want a big display that was either going to be in the way, or that would take a lot of effort to…

Anyone else love vintage gumball and sweet machines? We are lucky enough to have an outbuilding at the end of our garden, (which my husband THINKS is his man-cave 😉 ) Anyway, we’re just adding some quirky things to it as we come across them. So when I saw a vintage sweet machine on Marketplace (where else?!) I just KNEW…

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without adding a wreath (or 5 😉 ..). But sometimes I just can’t find what I’m looking for. And the wreaths I did see this year were either too big, too expensive, or both 🙂 I wanted to add a bit of colour to our cooking area in the kitchen by adding a small berry wreath….

I’m a BIG fan of Scrabble craft projects. (Not so much of the Scrabble game – I’m pretty useless!) But these little tiles are pretty awesome when it comes to doing craft projects! Originally, I thought of using our names for these Scrabble ribbon decorations. However, “Marianne” compared to the rest of our family (Rob, Sam and Dan) looked ridiculously…

I’m curious .. Do you decorate your bathroom and/or kitchen for Christmas? We do. Well, I mean, we don’t go overboard, but adding a few little Christmassy touches here and there just makes all the difference! So if you’re going to do one thing this year, get yourself a Christmas soap dispenser. Or better yet, make one! Just how cute…

You may have guessed by now that I get excited over Christmas! And to be honest, our whole family are Christmas fans. We’ve got two grown up kids but they still wake up (far too!!) early on Christmas morning to open their stockings. (And they still like us putting out Santa’s footprints on Christmas Eve. And we’re happy to continue…

As a true Christmas fanatic, we’ve got a few trees up around the house. And I love all of them, but the one in our lounge is my absolutely favourite. It’s a lovely full tree and it has room for LOADS of decorations. Of course it’s filled to the brim, but there’s always room for something else 🙂 Now, buying…

This Christmas decoration is probably THE easiest one I have made so far. Seriously, this took me about 5 minutes. Remember those Scrabble pictures we made earlier this year? If not, you can check the post out here. Anyway, time to use up some more of those Scrabble tiles to make this super-simple (and incredibly quick!) Christmas Scrabble picture. This…
