Christmas Wreath

I have joined the Inkspiration Challenge this week,

http://inkspirations-challenges.blogspot.com/2011/12/inkspirations-challenge-100.html

so pop over there and have a look at all the great Christmas fun.

Each Christmas i like to add to our home made Christmas decorations.

This year i have made a few things but the major project being

this Christmas Wreath. There are approximately 300 strips of paper

and pins. I must say i am just getting over having a very sore finger

from pushing all the pins in but it was so worth it.

I am really pleased with how it has turned out.

It has a gold shimmer to it and will be a lovely addition

to our decorations each year.

On a different note i met the lovely Julie Goodwin today.

I loved watching her on TV and use her cookbooks constantly.

I have always felt she is a kind hearted person and now i know she is.

She really does have a special glow about her

and it was a special experience to have time with her.

She has some fantastic Christmas receipes on her blog,
