Our Christmas Table for 2024! This year, my Chris

Our Christmas Table for 2024!

This year, my Christmas table is all about blending homemade charm with elegant touches! ✨

Hanging above the table is an over-the-table rod adorned with green garlands, my DIY pearly orbs, pearl strands, and glass baubles 🌿💫

The table itself is set with a crisp white tablecloth as the foundation. Each place setting includes:
💛 Gold charger plates
🤍 White dinner plates
💛 Mustard-coloured plates for a pop of festive warmth
✨ My mum’s gifted gold cutlery (a treasure!)
🥂 Matching gold glasses to add a bit of sparkle

Adding a personal touch, I’ve included my homemade gift boxes and updated Christmas crackers at each setting – because who doesn’t love a little surprise during dinner? 🎁✨

This setup brings together everything I love about Christmas: family, creativity, and a whole lot of joy. ❤️

What do you think of this year’s table? Let me know how you’re styling yours! ⬇️

Looking for a festive yet simple way to wow your guests this holiday season? 🎄✨ I recently crafted these wreaths that double as thoughtful gifts and table decorations. Using just paper serviettes, delicious Lindt chocolates, and a touch of ribbon.

These wreaths are not only easy to make but also customisable to match your décor. Whether you prefer traditional red and green or a more modern monochrome look, you can let your creativity run wild. Your guests can take them home or enjoy the chocolates during their visit.

If you want to make your holiday gatherings extra memorable, give this DIY project a try! 🎁❤️ It’s the perfect way to spread holiday cheer while keeping your table looking festive. Plus, it’s a fun activity to do with friends or family. Have you tried making holiday crafts before? Share your thoughts below! 👇

As the holiday season approaches, it’s easy to get swept up in the hustle and bustle of Christmas preparations. From gift shopping to festive gatherings, our to-do lists can seem endless. But amidst the excitement, it’s crucial to take a moment to breathe and prioritize self-care. 🎄✨

This time of year can bring a whirlwind of emotions—joy, nostalgia, and sometimes stress and sadness. It’s important to remember that you deserve to enjoy this season just as much as everyone else. Make time for those cozy nights in, indulge in your favorite holiday treats, and don’t forget to pamper yourself with a relaxing bubble bath or a good book. 🛁📚

Let’s remind ourselves that it’s okay to say no to some events if they become overwhelming. Prioritizing your mental health will only enhance your holiday experience, allowing you to be present and enjoy the festivities with loved ones. So, take a deep breath, sip that hot cocoa, and embrace the magic of the season. How do you plan to take care of yourself this Christmas? Share your tips below! ❤️

This year has been the year of the upgrade for my Christmas Decorations. I found these lovely gift tags @TKMaxx but didn’t love the black ribbon or the fact that they didn’t have any bronze colours on them. Easy fix though with some new ribbon, a bronze pen and some stick on pearls.

Now they look perfect under the tree!!!

Happy Thankful Thursday!

Its been another good week here in the Kelly Household. I’ve been getting my Christmas and Holiday prep done as well as taking time to relax and enjoy the process. Its been such a different experience this year and I’m loving it. I’m going to set my Christmas table in the next day or so as we wont need to use the table between now and Christmas so that will be a time saver and I can’t wait to share it.

This week I’m thankful for:-

1. A fabulous Christmas catchup with the Lockharts, always a fun time with lots of laughs and full bellys🙌
2. Morning tea catch up with friends talking all things travel🧳
3. Morning tea with my girl watching Beverly Hills Housewives, catching up and eating❤️❤️❤️
4. Lots of cuddles with little Mouse before we had to take him back🐈‍⬛🥰
5. Tony taking time off work to come with me when we took Mouse back. Fostering is a tough gig - we fall in love with each little one we take on. One of the lovely ladies in the foster group said she looks at it as their graduation day, we have done everything we can to get them ready to be adopted and once they get that health tick they have graduated. I really liked that🥰🥰

Hope you’re all trying to get in some relaxing time before Christmas and the busyness that comes with it.

A little project for the Christmas village!

This year, I decided to add a touch of whimsy to my Christmas tree farm by creating a charming mini festoon light arbor. It’s perfect to light the way to the Christmas tree shop and add a magical glow to the scene!

Using simple timber skewers, a hot glue gun, black rub n buff and those delightful mini string lights from @lemaxcollection, I was able to craft something adorable.

Share your Christmas craft projects and let’s inspire each other!
