Christmas is coming soon

Yes it is. Working in retail it has been coming for a few months. A few weeks ago Jason and I went to check out the unveiling of the Myer Christmas windows in the city central store. When we got there it was so busy with children we decided to check out the windows later on that night.

The photos are very clear as it was hard to take a photo at night time. This is just a few photos of the windows.

I think this one is quite cute with all the letters. I would love a room full of letters as well.

The windows were cute and it was great to be caught up in all the excitement of the children looking at each display.

Jason reading a kids book in Borders. We love to go there and just browse around. There is so much to look at all the time.

And we have to drink a Gloria Jeans coffee or in my case hot chocolate. Plus we had some Krispy Kreme doughnuts. You don't realise how excited everyone in Brisbane was when they opened a store here. Yum!

Last Friday Caeleb had a Christmas concert for his kindy. I had some videos but for some reason the sound didn't come out when I loaded them. Sigh. But this is Cael in his kindy room with a present from his parents. The children were all given a gift from the parents from their teachers. 

A photo with mum. Caeleb and Liz my sister in law. In his hand he is holding a tiny canvas and easel. It was a present from his kindy teachers. I thought it is absolutely adorable. Caeleb is very creative as well. He loves to colour in and make things. 

And this was another gift from the teachers. All his work in a special folder. I had a video of him telling me about his folder but no the sound didn't come out of that either. 

Anyway, I want to do a Christmas decorating post soon. I've been buying some decos from work. It's hard not to resist seeing as I'm working in the christmas trim section. 

Package from GreenBeanbaby

I received my beautiful package from Ellia. You must visit her Etsy shop. Though she has almost been cleaned out since she reopened her shop. Check out her blog as she always writes interesting entries about her art, family and life.

I was so glad that I was able to purchase some of her wonderful paper cut illustrations. They are absolutely adorable and the details are astounding!

Here are the cute teeny notebooks with the sweetest illustrations. She also put in a little kit so I can try and make my own paper cut illustration though I doubt even with the template that I would be able to make it look as good as hers.

A closer view of them. I was thinking of putting them in a shadow box as I think they deserved to be displayed.

Ellia is soo sweet. She put in some bits of pretty paper as extras as I had paid an extra 75c with the postage by accident. Plus the template. It well over the 75c. I have more paper to play with and it's so exciting. Thanks Ellia!! You are one talented lady.

This little pack here is from a store called Smiggle. It has some really cute stationary. It seems more for kids at school (judging by the people in the shop) but it's fun to look at all the little items. Those little wooden things are tiny stamps. I think I was just as excited as the children while browsing through the store.

Thought I would end this post with a picture of my nephew Caeleb on his 3rd birthday back in February. He was given a drum kit as he seems to enjoy music =)

Until next time xox
