My two German Christmas market stalls.
The decorations/toys stall will have more stock added for next year and more rows of baubles hanging from the ceiling.
The Gluhwein stall needs to have the Gluhwein pots painted and decorated and will have the heart shaped decorated Gingerbread biscuits hanging from the ceiling for next year too. You can't really see but the green mugs on the back shelves have Father Christmas nail transfers on each one.
They're not finished but I've had a lot of fun getting this far.
It's the most wonderful timeof the year :0 -
Evening everyone, I set up Thumpers kindle fire today so it is all charged and ready for him to use Christmas morning, I just need to wrap it now. I am slowly knocking things off my to be done by Christmas list

I'm only short a single stocking gift for the bf (we have a £7.50 budget for stockings, the low cost keeps the gifts interesting, and I've spent £6.00) and I am done!
Watched a Christmas movie the other night, Die Hard
first time I've seen it. I have the new Ben Hur I am excited to watch, possibly at the weekend. I love Ben Hur

Morning christmas people
Well I know I said I was done . . but . . . primark had Harry Potter socks and badges!! I couldn't not get DD some for her stocking! (she's 9 and has just discovered the awesomeness of HP) so I have an extra 2 gifts that were totally not on the list or necessary :rotfl: I am justifying by the fact I did not by the uber expensive Lego set so £9 on socks and badges is very acceptable
plus socks are a necessity!
Also bought DH's uncle some slippers and socks (I reaaaaally wanted to get him christmas socks just so I would win the arguement with him over them :rotfl: but DH insisted on some golfer style ones as he's a golfer but did relent on the colours so they are very funky purple and blue ones )
I am now definitely finished! do not let me buy any more gifts!

Sorry I've not been posting lately, real life has got in the way too much....:(
But my job interview was a success, and I'm looking forward to Christmas now and starting my promoted position in January.
Hope that everyone is well and organised for Christmas. I've just got some small bits to get then I've finished the buying but need to get wrapping and delivering!
A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realise how blessed you are.
