Kirstie Alsopp - Feeling inspired!!

[Fruitysunshine]

I have not watched the series but just caught the last 15 mins and I have to say I am inspired to create a homemade christmas!

However, I am a total commercialisation of christmas when it comes to table settings and decorations!

Are you a creative person at christmas and if so do you learn it or is it a natural trait of your personality?

Next year I am going to try harder!!

eh?

Lol, that didnt really answer OP's question did it lynfo, i try to be creative but only get as far as paper chains.

I did loads of things after watching the programme, not all of them directly from the programme but all inspired by it

I made red and white bunting to decorate my dining room, i embroidered it with hearts and ho ho ho. I also made some for friends children for christmas gifts all with their names on, it looked beautiful

I collected twigs and made wooden stars which I hang from the ceiling in my conservatory

I made chocolates which I decorated with edible glitter

I made cookie place names and tree decorations

I made ice bowls with holly and ivy to hold drinks in at chrismas eve gathering

I made bath bombs as little take away gifts for new years party

ps - I work full time

I absolutely loved it this year was the best ever, I did more but found it totally fulfilling and it was all relatively cheap

Good for you queenie. You sound like a really interesting person.
