    Hi, thanks so much for including me in the round up. There are so many great ideas here but I think my favourites are the paint splattered ornaments and the mini snow globes. So clever.

    These all look so wonderful! The decorations I have made have always looked a little too amateur 🙁 Maybe one year I’ll find one that makes me look like a pro!
