    Is it time for season's greetings yet?!! :)

    I was in Penneys and the girls were putting out lots of new pieces for Christmas. Very exciting. There was an amazing fabric Advent calendar where you can actually put your own little gifts in for each day.

    I would so love to meet up....
    but will have to settle for any light up ceremonies to the West!


    I treated myself to a new Christmas smell candle yesterday and its burning and my sitting room smells SO wonderful!

    (I actually had been burning candles all year, but somehow the strong smell had gone of my last one... so its still only half way but gives no scent.... moved to bathroom.)

    I was at the Yankee candle sore today (buying a H'alloween candle, witches brew, divine, highly recommend) and last years accessories were on special offer. I got, a large vase and a large matching plate for around 20 euro, half price roughly. It's for Christmas of course with santa's on them. They are only gorgeous. I was humming and hawing about buying them, herself inside the counter said, don't panic. We'll have more in, in a few weeks, in time for Christmas. Ya, at full price! So of course i purchased. They are fab. Will have pride of place on the coffee table. Of course there were other Christmas accessories (as they call them) on offer too. Including gold hurricane vases, big, little large. etc. Just thought I'd let ye all know, if ye were interested!

    I don't know if there are any Lush fans on the thread but my word they have some fab items and sets for Christmas!! :D

    They would be great as stocking fillers.

    Bought my felt today. Going to start making my stockings over midterm! Cannot wait!

    The stockings? :)

    They are super easy. Cut out two pieces of felt. Then cut out your chosen design from felt. Applique your design using different stitches like blanket stitch. Jazz it up a bit with beads. Then sew inside out on the machine.

    I just think they are a great idea and so simple to make. I'll be making them with my first years as well! Very excited! :D

    Oh My Pointy Elf Ears! I was in Ikea last night & their Christmas stuff was gorgeous! More traditional than usual & they has these amazing gift tins 3 for €7 and the wrapping paper!!!! Oh & they had the mini Dime bars back!!I'm kinda glad I had neither time nor money and it would have been a tad embarrassing to be caught rolling around the floor bawling for everything I wanted......:o:o so I just bought some of the tins & went home. But in the words of Arnie........

    Hello all, have been lurking for a while now but am getting too excited about Christmas to keep it to myself anymore so I'd like to join in if that's ok?

    And like any good guest at Christmas I bring a little gift :). It's a bit quirky but I love finding new Christmas songs and there is just something so sweet about this one. Hope you enjoy :)

    My iPad won't let my view embedded videos for some reason! :(

    Went on Pinterest today, haven't been on since I opened an account about 2 years ago but OMG! I'm in love!! The decorations, the recipes, the sheer overwhelming festive frivolity!! I want to make EVERYTHING!! The Americans just really know how to do Christmas, don't they?!

    Seen it 3 times now, welded up all 3 times, Today FM 3 - Me 0.

    There's a highlight video of the last two years Joe Duffy's Christmas Eve shows only 2 or 3 mins long and the last years show is available as a podcast.

    Great show!

    I usually hate New Year's but in addition to looking forward to Christmas this year (as always ;)) I'm really looking forward to NYE as I will be very glad to see the back of 2013. One of the worst years of my life. (moving in with my lovely BF notwithstanding :))

    New Years are a great way to get a fresh start and often you can feel things turning in your favour when a new year starts! So all the best for 2014 April, I hope it's a great year for you! :)

    Saw on my work diary that this week is week 42! :eek:

    Only 10 weeks left in 2013!! We are in single week territory for Christmas!! :eek: EEEK!!!
