Love your pencil cases overmydeadbody - and through your blog, I discovered teh amazing chez Larsson - gosh, I wish my home looked even a tenth as stylish and Swedish. Back to reality, here's my latest post about the children's Christmas lists...

Me too staranise, I aspire to make my house just a teeny bit as stylish and lovely as Chez Larsson's! She is my constant inspiration. I am glad you have found it too!

overmydeadbody, my NYR is going to be to try out some of the fabulous projects you post! I keep looking at them and thinking, "Oh - I might be able to do that! And that! And that looks a bit hard but it's SO PRETTY...!" Loving your blog all over. :)

I'm having my annual Christmas meltdown over how to choose the right Christmas cards for my husband's side of the family

Hi everyone - just posted on Festive Excretions - if you're in the mood for some Christmas grossness Xmas Wink

overmydeadbody · 21/12/2011 22:03

I loved your card post Outrageous!! Brilliant. I left a long rambling comment Grin Sorry for the typos.

I hope I do inspire you to try some of my projects in the NY. They're mostly easy, and if they're not just hunt me down on here for more help!

My new post is all about the thing we do best as women - uninhibited chatting! And the wonderful support I have had from my 'girlfriends' this year. Couldn't have done it without them.

Feeling very Christmassy! Xmas Smile

Hi everyone,

I haven't posted in this thread before but I love being part of the network and reading everyone's posts.

Here is my latest post, not a festive one I'm afraid, it's my thoughts on imminently moving house jenniferslittleworld.blogspot.com/2011/12/all-things-you-need-to-do-when-moving.html

Thanks!

JenniferJJ · 22/12/2011 15:09

Sorry that would be better as jenniferslittleworld.blogspot.com/2011/12/all-things-you-need-to-do-when-moving.html, I was distracted by the baby!

Even my gingerbread house fails on the stylish front! We had lots of fun making it though:

Have been really busy this week (who hasn't?) but will find time to catch up on all your blogs soon.

yummymummyreally · 22/12/2011 22:38

Busy busy busy... I've been making fake beards today. I will hopefully post a full explanation after Santa has been as my daughters and I have a secret plan for Christmas day that I am sooooo keen to tell my hubby, but can't as I don't want to spoil the suprise!

In the meantime I am starting to think about my hubby and I's post Christmas shopping spree and have been doing some sales research. Check it out here

yummymummyreally · 22/12/2011 22:39

'surprise'.... aaghhhh why can't I spell until after I have previewed!?

overmydeadbody · 23/12/2011 11:58

project 108, a cat head purse, just for the fun of it

Three more projects to go!

Do other bloggers expect it to be quiet over Christmas day and boxing day? Is it worth holding off posting my projects then and scheduling them to be published after then? Or is it like MN where most people still find the time to come online on Christmas day?

PetiteRaleuse · 23/12/2011 17:47

Just wanted to wish everyone a merry christmas. Not sure if i'll have the opportunity to blog before i get home next week. I hope you all have a great weekend, and eat lots of chocolate.

BsDad · 23/12/2011 19:49

I thought I'd add a rare second post this week- just a quickie to say thank you to anyone who has taken the time to look at my blog. It is much appreciated and, to be honest, blooging has kept me going at times throughout this difficult year. I thought I'd have a week off blogging, although no doubt the blogging bug will kick in before long!

Hi,... been working on a possible post for Frothers the last couple of days, so, although my next two blog posts are in my head, they aren't yet on paper (electronic or otherwise). So I will hopefully get them posted next week at some point (depends on how sleepy I am after the mounds of food, chocolate and port!)

I would also like to say Merry Christmas to all and thank you for making me so welcome this last month. It's been my best and most fun blogging month since I slowly started by blogging journy 2 years ago. Thanks again.

Cheers! Wine

DillyTinsel · 23/12/2011 20:36

Evening all.

I am wiped out! Been trying to get so much stuff done, and not really in the Christmas spirit yet :(

Have managed to squeeze in one more post before I depart for my Mother's tomorrow. Debating whether to just leave the laptop and even my iPhone for 2 days and have a break from temptation. But then I am likely to be bored stiff if I do!

Anyway, I have made a nice little Christmas Tree garland.

Have a lovely Christmas everyone. Like BSDad, I have really enjoyed these past 6 months with you all :) Here's to more blogging in the new year!
