'Happiness can be found in the darkest of places if one remembers to turn on the light'
Hi guys 👋🏻
13 days to go!
Last year, since I moved and ‘upgraded’ shall we say, my reading corner. Thanks to the pandemic I made more use of it and had more time.
Last year I found some cool pictures where people had made snowmen and reindeers using their books and bookcases.
Here is last years efforts…
This year I made a whole christmas tree, the length of my bookcase. This one was alot harder but it was fun to give it a go!
What do you think?
Until Next Time,

At the weekend we thought that we would head to a local Christmas market. I love doing things like this and having little days out during the lead up to Christmas, they make you feel so festive!!
Me and Tim headed there with my sister Charlotte and our niece Evie-Mae. We arrived with three hours to spare before the lights got turned on so we took a little look around the market.
They had a few little stalls and obviously the town shops were open too so we also had a browse in some of those, for some Christmas decorations, and bits and bobs.
I picked up a few decorations because you can’t ever have too many can you!!??
It was quite chilly in the little seaside town so we headed for a refreshment break in Greggs.
A pastry or two, a cuppa and a biscuit later and we were ready to head back out.
The lights came on at five o clock. We were all wrapped up warm as we watched them being turned on and they had a few little fireworks too.
It looked really festive and the tree had lovely multi coloured lights on it. I really liked the lights as they were all quite colourful in yellows, reds and greens! The ones in our hometown have been made a bit more ‘up market’ and are white and gold, and although they are very pretty (& some look like giant snitches!!) I do love, what I would call, a traditional light display.
Until next time,

So, this is very exciting!! Well I think so anyway haha. For any of my fellow Harry Potter fans out there, this ones for you…
I have seen many photos over the years (thanks Pinterest) of Harry Potter Christmas trees, and with an extra tree in our flat this year, well it seemed rude not to give it a go finally.
I’ve got plenty of Harry Potter memorabilia to create such a masterpiece and so I set about decorating my most magical Christmas tree yet.
I already had lights and fittingly (excluding the pink ) they are red, green, yellow and blue lights, the same colours as the four Hogwarts houses.
I used two Hogwarts ties that I had as tinsel, A red and gold Gryffindor one and a blue and silver Ravenclaw one. The Ravenclaw one is actually my sister Sarah’s, so if your reading this, thanks for your contribution haha.
As I said, I used lots of different bits of my Harry Potter memerobilia to decorate the main body of the tree and it was really fun adding all my little Harry Potter trinkets onto the tree, from baubles to characters, pictures and more.
The tree topper, like many Ive seen online had to be my sorting hat that I got from the Warner Bros studio tour, it brings it all together really well.
Lets take a look…
Here is the finished tree…
Until next time,
Roseanne 🙂
