It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

I made my own Christmas cards this year using iPhone snaps, adding text in Paint, & then uploading to a blank template over at Funky Pigeon.

I made a festive fruit compote with cranberries, currants & figs.

You can download the above as wrapping paper over at the Guardian. It's from an old German postcard.

Gifts were wrapped using doilies & baubles & string.

Fairy lights look pretty even during daylight hours, hidden in the shadows from the bright sun.

This Clinique mask is a godsend at this time of year, helping to fight against the taunts of the wind & the cold & the periods of richly decadent food consumption!
