Home-Made Christmas Decor.

It must have been exciting for your children to make their own Christmas decorations. I remember making things with my Gran.
Snow ! OH no !! Well you can keep it in Scotland :o(((
I hate it.

Fabulous David !! Amazing what you can do with a bit of imagination isn't it ? Hope the kids enjoy the snow ! :~)))

Looks great David. Well done. We've snow forecast for Friday here but its cold....-9C tonight. Hope your kiddlings have fun in the snow. ;o)

That looks really good David, i love it :-)
Lovely for the kids to have some snow .... on xmas morning would be good for them !

I too hope it's kept in your neck of the woods though, us west country people are down here because we're too soft for snow
;-)))

Fun ideas for children here, David, and not too complicated !
Did they wake to lots of snow ?

It's fantastic your idea of getting the children involved in the garden projects and now making your own Xmas decorations, most people (me included) would get the car out and go down the shops and buy ready made, I am trying to be more creative but I have always failed to have that creative streak in me, but I will try harder ..... honest. :o)))

What a lovely display well done to your children bet they loved every minute love the little robin great idea, looks really christmasy.

Lovely ideas, David - I knew you were creative, but these look great! I bet J and E enjoyed making them.

Snow? NO thanks! :-((((((((

That was always on my school report Bobg Must try harder...LOL ..:o))

How lovely, I'd like to order 3 please LOL

Very creative and very professional looking. Well done, all of you. I think I would rather have your snow that all the horrible rain we are having here - it's coming down again right now :(

I hope your gardens don't get flooded again, Gee.
Fingers crossed. x

Oh really lovely David such a great idea well done.......cant wait for the snow love it :~)))))

At least the sandbags are in place this time, TT! Hopefully the rain willl not be too heavy. So nice to see Christmas decorations and preparations - really cheering me up :)

what a great idea david, love em, im going to try make a few things myself this year, it looks so nice and bet the kiddies loved the snow, i know i would lol
thanx for sharing your ideas ;o))

Many Thanks, everyone. Bob - I'd probably do the same and just buy some decorations, too, but having young children encourages me to make an effort. Today we made another three of these, which will be finding their way into Grandmas' and Aunt's Christmas parcels.

The snow actually came to nothing much, and was all but gone when we awoke this morning (I, personally, was glad about this). :-))

David, love your idea of making a decoration! It looks very beautiful! Last year I made some ones using only dry seed heads, fruits and candles. Think to make it this year too. :) Love the pots!

This sounds so natural and seasonal, Uma! I am thinking of using oven-dried seedheads, and fruits, too, this year!!! :-))

Well...well...well! :) Promise to show?

If time allows!! And, you? Will you post pics also? :-))

Only after yours! :) Actually, would like to write a blog of it...as you've done...
And, of course, if have some materials...need have a trip for them.

MushyB my school report said that too and that I was a daydreamer, Huh little did they know that I as planning world domination Mwahahaha!!!!

OH NO, BoB!!!!! Have you been brainwashed by thise Flower Pot People)????? :-((((((

Hope you enjoy your shopping trip, Uma! Even with the £1 stores here, we saved a small fortune making our own!! :-))

Best Wishes to you all - must get to sleep now!!!! :-))

But it'll be not a shopping trip! :)
Night!

Lovely decorations, and so grand to do with the little ones! =^..^=

Great blog, David!
Well done James & Eilidh!! :~))

What a great project..the kids have obviously taken great pleasure from this venture David,and the results are lovely !

It's great to make up some of your own decorations for Christmas, as a boy in London we used to make some of our own decorations - just this moment come to mind that we used to cut things out of crepe paper & we used to make paper chains - miles of the things it seemed!!!

My wife has made things for the Christmas table & years ago we used to fill the house with decorations on the ceiling, walls & doors. I got fed up doing that year after year & now we hardly do anything.

We are going to my wife's hometown in the centre of Spain this year for Christmas & the New Year. It will be the first time we have spent Christmas with our family over there in 8 years! We will be able to see our two sons who still live out there & our daughter is going with us though she will have to return before the New Year as her partner has to return to work on the 4th Jan.

I haven't seen either of our two sons since the youngest got married over there more than 3 years ago. My wife has been back twice a year since we've been back in the UK but for me it will only be my 3rd trip back to Spain in 8 1/2 years since I returned to the UK!

Many Thanks again, Folks! :-))

Doing this brings back memories for me, too, Balcony. Sounds like you are in for a very special Christmas this year. Hope you have a fantastic time!!!!

Thanks very much, David. It will certainly be different this year!

They look lovely David and children really do appreciate the time spend doing these kind of activities with them , it's what makes all those happy memories ....

A great activity for some quality family time David, and the decorations are lovelier than most I've seen for sale this year. I'm sure Aunt & Grandma will doubly appreciate these gifts!

What a lovely idea David and they look really pretty.

David your decorations are really lovely and making them yourself makes them extra special...........

Many Thanks, folks, We always try to add something of our own each year. :-))
