Joy to the world

By Anonymous -










Christmas is a special time, the kids are excited, everything is busy and generally everyone is making a bit of a fuss. Whether it be about gifts, or food, or celebrating, or family, or your beliefs, or all of the above - it is a special time. This past weekend we stayed home all Sunday and prepared our home for Christmas. It is also a sad time, my family are spread out all over the world and we lost our Mum in December, 5 years ago. I found making our home ready for Christmas very therapeutic and watching my kids decorate the tree made my heart sing. Here are some shots of how it all looks. Hope all your festivities and preparations are going well. Paula xox. p.s the gorgeous red paper pom poms and beautiful hand made paper wreath are by Sydney based paper artist Jo Neville.

How lovely! Love the joy banner you made. I'm sorry to hear about your mum ... but it really does look beautiful inside you home for Christmas :) I’m sure it will be a wonderful holiday for you all. Take care, Sarah

Our home sounds a little like yours :). Three little ones getting so excited about xmas, putting up the tree and decorating the house....it was a countdown just to get to December let alone xmas day.

The kids and I made some of our own paper flowers this year....must say not as beautiful as your red ones....but still meaningful all the same. Happy Holidays.

I had Contry Style Magazine come and do a shoot at my home in May... a few months later and the issue finally hits the shelves. Yay! I am very pleased with the way it all turned out. Sharyn Cairns took some wonderful photographs and captured our home beautifully, while Virginia Imhoff wrote a lovely piece about all the bits and pieces in our home and how much we have traveled etc. The ' where there's tea there's hope ' print got a big feature in the shoot and on the editors letter, which we are so pleased about and the orders have already coming rolling in. Ooooh I must say it is quite a thrill to see my own home and work in print, I am most flattered!
