I thought I would show you some of the decorations I have in our house,
before it's time to pack them away again for another year...
This is a decoration I received this year from my friend Rob

I don't think I'll be putting it away with the Christmas ones as it's

too special & wasn't really given as a Christmas gift...

Rob has had lots, & I mean lots of ops on her eyes, in the last few

years, so to receive this hand made gift from her is extra special.

Last Christmas I gave her a book with this pattern in it...

she so wanted to make it for me this year, with some help

& with lots of love sewn in...

This is a glass decoration, which was always a favourite

of my Dad's so when we packed up Mum's house I found

it in among some Christmas paper wrapping so, I quickly

retrieved it & brought it home. It's a bird now hanging

off a set of jail keys I've bought in my travels...

This is the lovely enamel bell my eldest gave me

a couple of Christmas' ago... she knows how I love

special decorations... note it has an angel on it, too...

This is another decoration/ornament I retrieved from

Mum's house... Mr. & Mrs. Claus & tree that stack like

Babushka dolls... I think they bought them in Tasmania

when they traveled there... made of Huon pine timber...

These next ones are the Disneyland Christmas decorations

I told you about on Wednesday
This is Mickey Mouse...

and here is Minnie...

I have a large garden & I like to put decorations around

in my pot plants, etc... so I will show you that next time...
