    Wow, looking good (the symmetry of the blue baubles is spot on!)
    The kitten is doing my tree OCD no good at all- but he has left the tree alone since this morning- think he's got over it being there!
    Here's ours- as it looks at the moment- twitch twitch

    I love these pictures - they're beautiful. Looking forward to seeing more!

    I bought a fibre optic tree last year and it was crap. The tree itself is nice but the lights were so dim. I've just bought lights for it this year and leaving the fibre optics off. Goodness knows when i'll get cleaned up to get them put up!

    I love your tree and the way you have wrapped your presents. Is that brown wrapping paper? Think I will wrap next years present's like that. It looks very classyand expensive looking.

    Aww thanks. Its really cheap and simple to do - its just plain old brown wrapping paper with dark red raffia tied round. Then sticks of cinnamon and slices of dried orange (you could probably do these yourself if you knew how?) tied together with these pieces of wire that I found with a little plastic red berry attatched to each end. Twist everything together and hey presto....

    I must admit I'm really chuffed with them. I saw a pic in a magazine last year and really liked it so I copied the idea. So what with that and the ideas Ive picked up here about hampers my presents are fab this year :j :j :j

    Here's one of my hampers....
