An award and christmas

Happy new week bloggers!!!

The i showed my Cath award from LissyLou.
Firstly i would like to thank all the ladies that joined in with the Show us your Cath Party. What Fun!!!!
I have created the above award for you all, so please take it and show it proudly on your blogs.


Christmas is getting closer!! i feel quite organised already, but this year is going to be quite a simple one for us as theres lots of other stuff on the go.
I saw this mag last week and decided to walk by, but then some of your naughty bloggers showed it in posts, so then i had to go get it didn't i??? ;)




Thera are some great ideas in it. Its certainly one to keep for future reference.
I loved making lanterns as a girl. I'll be making lots this year with the boys.



These are so gorgeous - makes me wish we had a pet!!!




I'll be trying this yummy stuffing!!


An Essentials magazine subscription was given to me on my birthday in May. I have to say it's becoming one of my fave magazines!!! Look at these wonderful christmas goodies:



Very Cath, don't ya think??




This is one of my fave perfumes, so this winter inspired one is definately on my list.


These are so cute - although i love my red one more.


This heart is so cute!!!

Thanks for the award - what fun! It was such a great event.

Those mags look great. I'm very glad, being on the utmost challenge, that I've saved a lot of Christmas mags from previous years, because they are keeping ,e going when I can't buy any new ones!

I picked up my copy of the Ideal Home Christmas magazine, lovely stuff in it isn't there!

Hopefully I might even get around to trying some of the ideas out!

I use to love Christmas magazines but over the years I've lost interest in Christmas! I'm hoping it will go away if I wish hard enough!!! :)

Hi
I agree that magazine is brilliant lots of ideas. I like the cookie mix in a jar one.
I must buy essentials this month. I have a subscription to Prima which my sister gets for me at christmas. This year I am getting essentials instead as i prefer it. More craft ideas and good recipes.
In enjoyed seeing everybodys show us your Cath too
take care x Dominique
