Crossing off things on my "to-do" list....

Well, here we are on another Tuesday. Christmas appears to be just around the corner and I am getting into the swing of things organising my corporate Christmas hampers.

I have also been making the most of my "free" time and getting a few little projects done that were on my "to-do" list. That is going through my internet favourites folder called "Stuff I want to try" and actually try some of the things I have saved.

Today I finished off a pair of rosebud earrings inspired by a great blog post. I will post a photo later of them.

I have also just about finished off some magnets that I am trialling for the markets early next month. So far so good.

A storm has been brewing in my kitchen... I mean I have been cooking up a storm in my kitchen, making double choc muffins, chicken kievs, smashed potato and chicken salad and tonight a few home made meat pies.

Wreck this Journal has been sitting next to my bed begging me to open it and I haven't written in my journal although I have considered the million things I would write in it.

Just to top off my week I have found a brilliant site called Ideas Culture where they come up with ideas. How fantastic!! I have subscribed to their newsletter and I absolutely love the concept behind it. Check them out and see what you think.

In the meantime, have a great day!

Christmas? Stop swearing at me!


Even though I am supposed to be back in the land of living, I am not ready for things like Christmas!

Last week I tried, I mean tried to get things organised... I have some corporate orders (yay!!) that I am currently working on... but Christmas at home has just gotten a little more complicated.

Long story short we still don't know what we are going to do for Xmas. This year it is my intention to create a gignerbread house. I would like to cook a greek inspired lamb on the rotisserie and try to enjoy as much about the day as I can.

In my head I have great inspirations for decorating the house... So maybe now is the time to start a little plan. I actually saw a book at one of my favourite shops about planning for Christmas. What a great idea!

Ok, time to add a few more things to my list of things I would like to do and seriously start a plan for Xmas.

How are you guys going? Do you have any family traditions that you would like to share? Drop us a comment below!

Best wishes,
Kirsty

PS. I have done a couple more pages in Wreck this Journal. The fascinating thing is that after doing it I had the most specatular dreams that night... Wow, the power of creativity, hey?
