Two Weeks until Christmas
Finally found some time to put my lovely Christmas tree up. I like the idea of a gothic Christmas, very much inspired by Tim Burton’s creations such as Sweeney Todd, Nightmare before Christmas and Sleepy Hollow.
Two weeks until Christmas, one week until I’m off on holiday, I can’t wait! Hopefully I will have time to blog more about my completed projects and the books I finished reading. I’m feeling a bit down that I might not meet my 21 book challenge by the New Year, unless I go on a reading marathon during my holiday…which might not be a bad idea.
At least my shoppe is doing well. I seem to average a sale a week, which is brilliant for a new shop. I plan to add more artworks in different styles when I have the chance. Time to experiment!
It’s also been quite frosty these past few days and we had our first snow last week. For a little while it was a winter wonderland here in Yorkshire.
How’s your Christmas preparation holding up?

I am enjoying my Christmas preparation (because it means shopping hahaha). I cant wait for my vacation too, that would be a week after next week. I am so excited that makes me on the holiday mode already :)

Your tree looks lovely, and your garden looks bleak!
Take care and stay warm! xx
