My Week According to Instagram

Christmas is coming!  And for once, I'm ready early.  My flat is all decorated, the presents are all purchased and wrapped.  This week I helped my Mum get a tree and decorate her house.  Yesterday and today I spent the day wrapping all the gifts.  I made them extra pretty by using ribbons and handmade gift tags available in my Etsy shop.  They really are a special touch to any gift, if I say so myself.

1. Yummy dinner: twice baked potato, chicken Cordon Bleu, and brown sugar carrots.

2. Vintage hand embroidered tea towel.

3.  Letting Instagram followers know about this post.

4. Working on a custom Kindle cover.

5. Finally had the chance to wear the 1940's nurse's cape.

6. Minus the cape: green plaid dress and hat.

7. Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters at the Dollar Tree.

8. Pretty in pink.

9. A side view of the hat.

10. Mini Christmas tree and vintage Santa Claus.

11. Watching one of my favorite films, Christmas or not: Love Actually.

12. Smudger after having a bath.

13. Keeping Smudger warm after his bath.

14. Some of the pretty presents I wrapped using these gift tags.

I'm really excited for next weekend because that is when the cookie making will commence.  Today we are coming up with a game plan for exactly what kinds we are going to make.  Mum and I are also enjoying some holiday movies.  We first watched Christmas with the Kranks and are currently enjoying the lovely Celtic Thunder Christmas DVD as I type this post.

What are your plans for the upcoming weeks for celebrating Christmas?
