It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....

Anyway, while we were waiting for our visitors to arrive (still waiting by the way)I gave the house a much needed spring clean - it is still November and technically spring (even though the temperature says otherwise). Inside the air was beautiful - yes we have air-conditioning - thank goodness - I am glad I am not in South Aust!!! So everything is now spick and span, bright and shiny and my creating area has been moved out into the rumpus area. The kids have now grown up and don't need me supervising their play anymore (but I am sure my creating space will once again evolve - I love being around my family while I create - not locked away somewhere. Now that I have moved out there is room for you guessed it - THE CHRISTMAS TREE - yes I have succumbed (2 weeks early) - not hard given my fetish for all things Christmas - only 34 days left. Why not enjoy it for as long as one can and after visiting as many Christmas shops as I could in the area (we have 2 specialist shops extremely locally) as well as the department stores and several new decorations later .......
