Christmas Decorations...

I know, I know - but I love Christmas. And this year our extended family is coming to our place to celebrate. So I am absolutely consumed at the moment with decorating.

Today I have been scavenging in our factory for cheap ideas. After shopping yesterday I discovered that christmas decorations are very expensive. So I employed Danny to help me and as it turns out we have a lot of waste in our factory that I can use.
Starting with these mirror sheets - we use them to make lights but I am going to use them to hang with ribbon off my frangipani tree in the front garden. Once you peel the plastic off they have a mirror finish - perfect.





I have decided to go with turquoise, white and red as my colours this year. Yesterday I bought wooden stars and painted them in turquoise. After watching me for a while, Danny informed me we have a machine at work that can make heaps of these stars out of waste. Loving it! This machine also cuts out letters - have huge plans for a big Merry Christmas to hang off my front balcony......

I am so excited!!!
