Christmas from Notebook

Notebook magazine December 09

is packed full of gorgeous Xmas ideas

that are French inspired

I love this one with the rustic branches

This is what I want for the table centre

but with red decorations

There are lots of ideas using recycled ideas

And I love these concertina decorations

that look like they are tea stained

There are instructions for these sweet snowflakes

using quilled paper


I thought this Xmas card bunting
from old cards looked fabulous
especially with red in them
for the French touch

I love this paper and tuille garland using
unbleached coffee filters,tuille,organza
and sheet music

I couldnt go past this wreath

with more tuille

I lovee anything tuille!

Hows this for such a clever idea

for storing delicate Xmas decorations

Even their food ideas have a lovely French touch.

I will have a similar cloth in my new online boutique

I hope to launch next week.

Im going to start with a giveaway

and perhaps someone could win this cloth

But I'll definitely be doing these mixed bruchetta!

(Recipes are in the magazine)

I really fancy these Rum Balls

with raisons in them

And I adore these ginger bread snowflakes!

I know the kids in my class are going to be so excited to make many of these ideas

especially because they are just a little bit different!

Hope you enjoy them too!

Perhaps back issues are available.
