Christmas is Approaching...Its Ahead of My Schedule

I had been busy making products for my Christmas sales lately..

The soy candles

the glycerin soaps in a variety of colour and scents..

that I packaged and tied with ribbon...ready for give'n (I had to say that...)

soothing scented bath bombs...

I made up a number of gift baskets/boxes and here are 2 of them before the cello and ribbon...

Lavender scented heart sachets...

I am happy to have sold so many items....and from what is left I can choose special presents for family and close friends for Christmas.  Its handy to have something pretty and homemade available throughout the year when something special comes up.

Now its been time to start decorating

which will have to continue tomorrow....  I have been collecting the Avon pewter yearly decorations since 1997 and found a sweet little tree this year from Family Dollar to display them.  I have yet to come across the rest of them but wanted to show you the one for 2011 I just got.  I think they will look so pretty on it.

  Christmas is approaching rather quickly...and I had better get moving... *s*... 

Hope you are well ahead of schedule.... Judi xoxo

to be wrapped in pretty cello bags and red ribbon....


heart shaped lavender laced and rose petal bath bombs...

Amongst the baskets are some of the Soy Jar Candles....

and scented soy tealights...

a special gift for someone's special honey....I love to make custom baskets...

The scents and colours of Valentine still linger at my place even though the pretty packages have left for Valentine's sales... I hope you have a lovely day... Judi xoxo
