Christmas crafts , decor and lucky charms

Hello, hello again!! 

I hope you are all fine and  getting ready for the festive season .  

I have been decorating and creating for some time now. You know these are my most favourite activities and always give me great pleasure!!

I bought these tiny nutcrackers  some weeks ago and they look really cute and festive on my kitchen shelves. 


You can see one of the lucky charms I have created , in the background. 

 A silver snowflake with a red cord. 


This is an old cupboard door ,I didn't use , which I turned into a Christmas painting/decorative item using print-outs , paper napkins, ribbons, some fake greenery and tiny bells. 
Ta-dah!!
What do you think ? It didn't cost me anything and I love the way it looks!!. 


I also made a few lucky charms to give to friends and family during the holidays . I make them every year and  they are one one of the things I really look forward to doing  during the days before the festive season and the holidays.  I use mainly red colours, gold , silver and green . 


It's actually a very easy and   relaxing  craft , the combinations of items , ribbons and colours are endless and the final result is almost always quite satisfactory and pleasing to the eye. 




A gift that doesn't cost much and it is always welcome. 





This is my ginger bread house this year. We assembled it with my boy last Saturday and had a lot of fun as always!!

Christmas decor is almost everywhere around the house , 
favourite tree ornaments, baubles , little fabric dolls, 
A CD  I transformed into an ornament using decoupage ,
poinsettias and berries, 

more baubles ,



and … more lucky charms!!



I took this pic some days ago. It is the Athens Mall decorated for Christmas. 

An advent calendar I made for my boy's class at the  kindergarten,

and finally two  IKEA boxes which I transformed  using old items and ribbons I had at home. 
I love the way they turned out !!!


Well , that's it for today . I wish you all  the very best for Christmas and the New Year, with love , health and many happy moments in  your lives!!! 
My love to all,
