Christmas Round Up.

Some more of my homemade Christmas decorations...

Merry Christmas!

Just some of my photos so far from Christmas 2013 - a very handmade christmas :)

Feeling Lucky?

Well apparently I didn't blog about the previous lucky dip posters I designed for Action for Family Carers, but oh well. I've redesigned them anyway for the next fundraising event they have in December, hence the Christmas theme.

As well as the twelve week Christmas countdown I've started on my photography blog, 27 Kodak Moments, I'm feeling particularly festive right now...and there's still 12 weeks to go! I'm also determined to make my own decorations this year. I did a few last year and I've bought the materials for a few ideas I have, so watch this space for posts about that! I don't want to start too early though and be fed up of christmas before we even get to December!

Anyway, what do you think of the posters? It was a bit of a struggle to get the logo to fit in!

I'm broke. With 3 weeks until pay day.

But look at what I've spend my money on...it's so lovely :)

(also ridiculously girly, but I don't care! I love it)

Bed: 

Rosie Low End Metal Bedstead - John Lewis £349

Bedding:

Blush Scarlett Collection - Dunelm Mill £5.99 - £24.99 (although I got 20% off)

The smaller pillows I've had for years. One is handmade and the others are from various different shops.

I'd been looking for a small double bed for my room for ages, and I finally found one I liked from John Lewis but it was always out of stock, so I bit the bullet and just bought a full sized double instead. With the mattress it came to over £570! Eek! And then it took me a couple of days after putting it up to find bedding I liked. I was tempted by this one from Next but finally fell in love with the Blush Scarlett Collection at Dunelm Mill (very similar to the Next one with the 3D flowers, but a heck of a lot cheaper! The whole set at Dunelm Mill - duvet cover, sheet and 4 pillow cases came to under £55 (in the sale) whereas just the duvet cover at Next was more than that!)

I've put my feather fairy lights that I got from Tesco donkeys years ago back up because I don't have any space for a bedside table to put a lamp on. It's also going to really annoy me that the shot glass shelf I had my dad put up in the middle of the wall so it would fit with a double bed, doesn't actually line up with the middle of the bed! I could move the bed across a little bit but then there'd be a gap between the bed and the wall and that would bug me even more.

So my bedroom is almost complete now! I just want some sort of storage box to sit at the end of the bed (got to find somewhere to put all the handbags I had under my old bed) but they're proving difficult to find, and I don't want to spend more than £100 on one. Oh and I'm thinking of a little corner shelf for above the bed, just somewhere to put a glass of water and my glasses when I'm sleeping.


Having spent all my money on this bed, I now can't afford any of the Photojojo goodies I just blogged about on 27 Kodak Moments :(

5 Days of Christmas (2).

Day two of my christmas photo uploads to my Flickr :) These are from both my Juicebox Camera and my SuperHeadz Blue Ribbon, which obviously didn't agree with the lighting in Altons Garden Centre (where these photos were taken) because they're come out all dark :(
