Morelli Hang the star with fishing line from the ceiling... it will never be wonky again and adds a little sci-fi magic to proceedings.

Vivi.

You could have at least let him/her ? wear a Santa hat ! Xmas Grin

aldiwhore · 07/12/2011 16:36

I'd add pictures if I could, but a camera is on my Christmas list my decs are too awesome to be photographed.

ViviPrudolf · 07/12/2011 16:38

Thank you Curious, that's nice of you to say. They're all my photos - I've always taken photos, since primary school. I have some playground reportage from when I was 7 :) .

I have to say, the success of my photos is primarily down to using a fancy-pants lens.

Aldi if you could swing a full 180 degrees from the first photo you'd see in the hallway a cheapo B&Q plaggy tree bedecked in ikea tat that would rival any of your auxiliary trees for classlessness.

I reckon pooch should be wearing those dog antlers you get Grin My pooch would eat them.

aldiwhore · 07/12/2011 16:39

vivi Yay!

(Its all for the kids of course) Not.

So who here actually allows their children to so much as TOUCH a bauble? Or IABU?

ViviPrudolf · 07/12/2011 16:39

Mrs.C she has a pair of novelty reindeer antlers as it goes! I kicked myself afterwards when I realised I should have put them on her....

haha I knew it!! x posts

MrsChristmasDB · 07/12/2011 16:43

Awww !

I have huskies. Well, had. My beloved girl died in September Sad and she was always up for some antler/hat/cracker hat wearing.

Our boy won't have any of it. Mind you, he's a big black and white sibe, who only has to stand in snow to look stunning, so no wonder !

MorelliOrRanger · 07/12/2011 16:53

Hurrah for DD - she's sorted out the decs so they all look lovely again. I've finally manhandled the star into submission now so that is straight too.

PS - love the suggestion of fishing line from the ceiling. Xmas Grin

ViviPrudolf · 07/12/2011 16:56

She's not especially impressed...

It's her eyes, "Mum, I'm going to wee everywhere for this" Xmas Grin

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 07/12/2011 17:00

MrsChristmasDB · 07/12/2011 17:02

Pink is lovely, MrsDV.

My DD has a pink tree in her bedroom.

ViviPrudolf · 07/12/2011 17:03
