Hand made sugary Christmas tree decorations
To go with my bought Christmas tree decorations I made some Fimo cookie shaped ones using cookie cutters. I baked them, varnished them and added a sprinkling of white glitter!

Apartment Therapy "Homies" blog contest
Apartment Therapy is having a top "Homies" blog contest and the voting ends today (until noon EST).
"There are awards for all sorts of blogs, but no one ever pays enough attention to the shelter blogs, so we started The Homies. It's our way of surveying the blogosphere each year for the best new home design blogs and sharing what we find. It's not so much a competition as a celebration of the richness and awesomeness of shelter bloggers around the world. Join us, share your favorites and check out the ones you don't know." from Apartment Therapy.
The sweet Cristina at Fabulous finds Gal nominated me in the "Home Cooking" section. Thank you!
You can cast your votes here! (Click link to go to website). Enjoy the list of wonderful blogs!

Christmas candy jars
As a regular reader of my blog you will know I love Candy jars! Christmas is no exception and I now have four glass Christmas jars to fill. I bought my first one in 2006 from House of Fraser, the two smaller ones are from Crate & Barrel from 2007/2008, and my newest one is the very large one at the top from Busy Bee. I filled the two smaller ones with M&M's, the oldest one with foil wrapped chocolates and for my newest one I took a trip to Mrs Kibbles.
I looked all over the internet for Christmas tree glass jars to add to my collection and could not find any! Then just moments ago I found these.

~ Excited and Happy Girls ~
I know it is a few days since Santa made his visit but I had to post a few photos of my very excited and happy girls after opening their gifts from the man in red. The sound of Sofia coming down the stairs and announcing with great excitment "He's been, he's been" is the most wonderful sound a mum can hear on Christmas morning ...
Entering the New Decade
So only a few more days and another new decade begins, having been born right in the middle of the 50s there are quite a few already under my belt, I hope that I have many more to come.

I am not one to make New Year's resolutions, but way back in early December I decided that 2010 was my year, the year I turn my health issues around. I will lose weight in 2010 - I am not setting myself a goal, but weight will be lost. I will exercise more and eat well and stop drinking coke (my one weakness). This is the year my life change starts.
Have you decided to make some life changes in 2010? Are there things you are going to do that make your life better, happier, more fulfilled. Is this the year you are going to look at life as 'glass half full'? Let me know, for if I can encourage you in any way during the year I would love to do so.
Roll on 2010 - it is going to be a great year!!
