I didn't feel like celebrating for Christmas last year, all I thought about was what we were missing. This year I must admit, I feel a little Christmas tingle, think it's time to drag the box of decorations and tree out of the cupboard, dust them off and set them up. Think I'll do it this week. The best part for me is the feeling I get when I put an angel or star on top of the tree...pure delight.
Speaking of stars, I've already made my wish... and of angels... well, you probably know by now what I would say about angels. But let's keep it light, fluffy and festive!
Some nostalgia, anyone? It's about wishing on stars...
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true

Moonlight Spa
For our Christmas book club this year we decided to go for a moonlight spa. It's been a long, long time since I felt so relaxed. I just about fell into bed when I got home.
I went to see my Homeopath again on Thursday morning (notice I said "my"... I started seeing her in October to try get my body in order... stress specifically, among other things), so the spa that night was really needed!
Would definitely do it again, it was so worth it. I would go every month if I could.

Re-decorate!
We've been chatting about re-decorating the house a little. Another 'pay as we go' project, however, as we all know by now, things just never really go quite as planned.
To do list for living room... get a day bed, new cushions, curtains, one or two furniture pieces, and a fresh paint!
In August/ September we both had car accidents, oops, and with that went our money for the daybed we had been saving for, and wanting for a while.
We decided on a paint colour (nice and dark grey) and just before we were about to buy the paint, one of our switches blew the electrical wires in the walls. After DH doing a test, we found it is in fact the wire,, and not the switch as we had hoped. Hmmm. Add plaster and labour to the to do list.
Now, a few weeks later, our Daybed, fabric for cushions and curtains have been ordered... the day bed should arrive just before Christmas.
Which leaves us with the electrical problem, plaster, labour and painting. And we thought we were going to have a nice holiday-at-home December.
The only other problem, is my new obsession with stripes.
I must try and remember to take before and after photos.
