beginning to look alot like christmas..



Abit disorganize this year, normally I would have worked out my wrapping paper colours and made my cards by now. This year I've opted not to put up a tree and will stack the pressies around the tree stump I found from the road side.

I pulled out the left over Amy Butler craft paper from the engagement party and made some paper chains to hang randomly around the windows and disguise our ugly mantle. I think the last time I made paper chains I was about 5 yrs old... I might end up looking childish and naff. Meh, so what! 'Tis the silly season after all!

lady, leave me alone



The weekend was lazy for some but for moi very productive:

: work party - kept my self pretty tame, being my 1st christmas party
: checked out my sisters new digs in north carlton: I'm love with her high ceilings: ornate fireplace and art deco furniture
: we shared big vegetarian brekky and smoked salmon, asparagus goats cheese omlette here and window shopped here and here
: I wandered around high st, northcote and drool over the amazing fabric and wallpapers at flashbacks
: made gourmet chicken burgers - still cooking with the bbq
: more christmas presents purchased!

In the meanwhile, our entrance hallway blackboard doors, normally reserved for shopping lists and 'nag' board will have to do.

daylesford: lark

On our way home we decided to take a detour to Daylesford. We got a little lost and ended up adding an extra 40 minutes to the drive.
Whilst the visit was short, it was worth the while just to finally visit Lark.. Oh my soooo CUUUUTE! A lovely start to my Christmas shopping, with now one person ticked off my list!
