Getting ready for Christmas

So, here we are ... December 2nd.

Tree's up (but not decorated yet!)

Christmassy fat quarters purchased from Croydon Christmas "Craft" Fair (it was terrible, truly terrible! Not a crafty pretty thing in sight!)

Christmassy books out and cluttering up the coffee table. My Plum is getting a bit annoyed with my random piles of craft stuff which are springing up around our flat. I will tidy them up ... in due course!!

The Christmas Handbook was a present from Father Christmas in 1988! I love the fact that my mum and dad wrote in our books as children ... I have had this book for 22 years! There is even a random dried flower in the front!
Christmas cutters and moulds retrieved from the cupboard. Now I just need to decide what lovely goodies I will make this year!

I too have my tree up - I'm like a big kid at christmas time. Whilst I put the dec's up I wore my Father Christmas hat x

Must hunt my festive cutters out - have a feeling my youngest will be wanting to bake christmas cookies soon.
