Christmas Is Coming

Hello everybody, how are you today?  I hope you're well.  I'm having a good week tackling jobs around the house and ticking them off the list - always a good feeling.

At the moment I'm reading this book -


The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin - a very inspiring read and I'm aiming to put into practice some of her wise advice.  No one ever said "No" to more happiness in their lives.

So I'm tackling jobs I've been putting off, one of which was making a start on getting organised for Christmas.  I'm not brave enough to leave it for any longer.  At last, and with a sense of relief at having got started, I've conjured up some Christmas cards.



The inspiration came from Pinterest, where else? (Although I can't seem to find the original site that the inspiration came from to give it full credit)


It's a simple idea, using upturned paper hearts to create the shape of the Christmas tree with a few little sparkles and a ribbon added.

So that's one Christmas job complete - only a few dozen more to go - but at least I've made a start - and therefore it adds to my happiness!

How is your Christmas preparation coming along?

    Hi Janet love your cards. I've done present shopping but have not done cards yet. Seeing yours I need to do mine. Love your trees made up with hearts.

      Thank you - I need to get going with my Christmas shopping before the shops get too manic.

      I don't know why but I never enjoy writing the cards, so I try to get it out the way early.

    What beautiful cards, simple but very effective. I am the opposite of you I love writing my cards and putting in little notes of our happenings to friends I don't see as much as I would like.

      Hi Grace, the book is wonderful, I can't put it down. It's very inspiring and thought-provoking without being preachy. I'd definitely recommend it.
