Merry Christmas Everyone.......

Good morning my lovelies,

I do hope that you have a lovely day planned ahead with your families and friends and for those of you who do not have family or are going through a difficult time this Christmas, my heart goes out to you and I send warm wishes and hugs and hope that 2017 will be a better year for you all.

We have a lovely day planned with Paul's mum today and tomorrow I go off to see the rest of my lovely family and spend time with them. It is at this time of year especially, that I do feel very blessed to have them in my life.

So as it is Christmas Day and I don't want to keep you too long. I thought that I would do a quick post to wish you all a Happy Christmas and show you something that I got around to making a couple of weeks ago.......

You know how it is......you gather up more Christmas stash every year, I buy more bits and tell myself that I am going to make something special for myself as a decoration for Christmas and every year I have no time left!!!!

Well this year a few months ago I bought a lantern in one of my wholesalers and said to my sister Jo as I was with her, 'I am going to do a little scene inside this for Christmas'.....

Well do you know what.........this year I got around to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know...... miracles do happen, even at Christmas!!

So with a lot of work and effort,  I turned this:

And this:

Into this.........

But it was worth every minute I spent on it..... 

Here is a little closer look......

I absolutely loved making this, It is just great to take a normal item and alter it into something completely different. 

Yes I could have just put a candle inside it but no, I wanted to make it a bit more special than that and I feel it is.......

I love it lit up at night in my lounge next to me........

Let me know what you think.

Well all that is left to say is have a wonderful Christmas and I will be back soon.....

Festive love and hugs
