Only 10 sleeps until Christmas! 🎄 We are off to my sister's in Kent today for a festive family lunch. Then home for a girls night out with dinner and dancing. Will definitely need those sleeps to make it through to Christmas! 😴 In case you have some wrapping to do the Paper Tree shop has lovely plain coloured kraft wrap (recyclable) which is perfect for getting creative and adding all sorts of twines and toppers such as these pretty paper Hellebore. 🌸 Have a lovely weekend lovelies!

The lovely Lucy @lucyludreams has created these gorgeous paper Christmas trees and has instructions on her blog on how to make them (see the link in her profile). 🎄 I was so happy that she used my paper holly and Christmas roses as details. Lucy was on @kirstieshandmadechristmas last night on Channel 5, she is so talented and made the most beautiful festive hoop decorations.

Paper baubles - very lovely hanging on Christmas trees and twig branches 🎄 I found a perfect branch on a walk which will look fab painted white then decorated with these baubles and led lights. Hopefully I will find time before Christmas! Hope you are finding time for some creativity this festive season. 😊 . . #Making_Winter #christmasfaffing #createmakeshare #makingchristmas #merryandbright #makelightadvent #asimplechristmas #etsyuk #etsyseller #paperlovers #handmadelove #creativelifehappylife #craftersofinstagram #papercraft #feelingcrafty #christmascrafts #makelightmembers #calledtobecreative #ukxmasgifts #prettycreativestyle

I really enjoy going shopping in The Lanes & North Laine in Brighton.💙 Lots of independent, quirky and creative retailers. Also some amazing cafes & restaurants.😋 We need the big retailers too but it is the mix of both which makes shopping fun rather than a chore. . . #smallbusinesslove #buylesschoosewell #smallbusinesssaturday #brighton #ilovebrighton #thisisbrighton #visitbrighton #brightonupyourday #shopsmall #justacard #cityscape #capturingbritain #winterstories #embracingtheseasons #photosofengland #christmaslove #christmaslights #makelightadvent #feelingfestive

This Christmas wreath is handcrafted from eco-friendly paper ivy, hellebore and mistletoe. Today I am joining @justacard #justacard in celebrating #indiefriday and all the brilliant small shops, businesses, artists, designers & makers who create & sell all sorts of fantastic things. These people work incredibly hard to do everything necessary to create a successful business.  It is not an easy path, it can be steep, twisting and slippery! Sometimes you just need to keep on walking, to persist and persevere. After many years running my small business, I realise the path is never ending. So here’s to the journey, to celebrating creativity, originality & the sheer hard work that is entailed in creating an independent business. I have a 10% discount in my webshop and etsy shop until Monday with the code XMAS18 #justacard  #IndieFriday #dsfloral #aquietstyle #inspiredbynature_ #petalsandprops #botanicalpickmeup #prettycreativestyle #making_winter  #makingchristmas #anaturalmidwinter #natureinthehome #paperlover #shopsmall #shopindie #ukxmasgifts #handmadewithlove #etsyuk #etsy #etsyseller #myetsyfind #ecochristmas #makelightfestive #purchasefortheplanet #ethicalshopping

Hand baked cakes, cookies or truffles are perfect in these food grade gift boxes 😋.

I know it's still a bit early to talk about Christmas but some organised people are placing orders already. 🎄So here is some paper holly & mistletoe (new this year).
