Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays everyone!

Thank you for all your support in 2011.

Babycakes

Sugar And Spice And All Things Nice

Last weekend I went to Glasgow to visit my friend Susanne and her beautiful baby Finlay. Anticipating a Sunday afternoon of gossip, coffee and cuddles I realised it was a perfect cupcake occasion. 

Yours Sincerely

It's the postman's least favourite time of year, but as the Christmas cards drop through our letterbox, we love seeing who sent what. There's no doubt the cards you choose reflect your personality, so if you want your friends to think you're witty, stylish and absolutely fabulous, Caroline Gardner's Sincerely Yours range is a must, no matter what the occasion.

All Wrapped Up

With just 10 days to go we've ordered the turkey, decorated the tree and dusted down our Christmas compilation CDs leaving just one festive challenge to face... the wrapping.

Bits and Baubles

Following a wintry weekend of mulled wine, mince pies and the X Factor final, we decided to take the ultimate festive plunge and put up our Christmas tree.

They say pleasures are greatest in anticipation and when it comes to Christmas this is definitely true. Unwrapping our treasured angel, laughing over homemade decorations and wrapping the cats in tinsel has made us even more excited for Santa stopping by.

Pssst...

If you've never heard of Frank Warren's PostSecret then you're in for a treat. The website (www.postsecret.com) - which launched in 2005 and has since received almost 500 million hits - is an ongoing community mail art project in which people send anonymous, homemade postcards revealing their deepest, darkest secrets.

The postcards range from happy to sad, motivating to thought provoking. They are intended to be inspirational to those who read them and have healing powers for those who write them. No restrictions are placed on their content - only that it must be completely truthful and must never have been spoken before.

It'll Be All White On The Night

The White House... Blank Canvas

Waking up on Sunday morning to find Edinburgh covered by a blanket of snow, I decided it is the perfect time to share my second "Home Sweet Home" post.

Living in a small, modern two-bedroom flat, I'm always searching for ways to turn our humble house into a home - adding unique and personal touches without heading for a clutter overload. White walls, cream curtains and other ivory items may be considered by some to be cold, clinical (and hard to keep clean) but that couldn't be further from the truth.
