I bought all the girls in the family a quirky bag that rolled up brilliantly so I could make them into Christmas Crackers. Trimmed with those bits and pieces I never throw away.

Love the tree at Campagne Decoration, Chips stopped me from hauling something similar into the house after the winds earlier this month. I think you may have liked my mirror ball and snowflake centrepiece though. Happy New Year to you all.xx
All of the photos wont loss up, but I do appreciate the idea of a leopard cake very much!
Happy new Year Di to you and your family!
2012!! Can you believe?
Love,
Constance
