Have a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

I have to apologise for not posting anything lately, I've been busy baking, cooking, shopping, entertaining............ hope you'll understand. I need to tell you though I've been absolutely blessed by the heart-warming and touching messages you left on my blog, I want to thank all of you who have been so generous and beautiful and encouraging, you are a wonderful bunch for sure. Thanks heaps and heaps.I just want to wish everybody a very meaningful and safe Christmas and all the best for a wonderful new year, enjoy your time with family and friends, I'll see you again in the new year. I'll leave you with some of the sweet sweet cookies that my kids and their friends cut and iced. They had two of their school friends over and we sure had fun doing that together! Every design is unique.

Christmas is just around the bend.......

Hiya, I'm still here, all is well; just extremely busy, I'm sure you can relate. I was a bit slow to start decorating this year, but once I got started, I had so much fun. Here are some photos. I'll definitely get back to Tips for growing roses later, I haven't forgotten about them.

In the Lounge RoomA bit of playfulness for the kids' sake.............

Not forgetting roses as well...............

Roses used here: St. Cecilia (light pink) and Radio Times (medium pink) In the Living Room/Dining/ Kitchen area

See the red and green?

Have a great weekend, my dear friends!
