Hello everyone :)  Christmas is well and truly here lol. On Saturday the 1st my Mother was 83 years young. My Mother is a wonderful person I will tell you just a little bit about her. She has so much energy and so full of life she puts me to shame haha. She loves to sing and still get up to sing when asked :) She goes every week to an "old folks home" to entertain the people there and sings for them. If anyone asks her to sing a particular (old) song and she doesn't know it she will find it and practice it to sing the next week. The funny thing is that my Mother is older than most of these folks lol I hope she is singing for many more years :)))
I have a few more pictures of my room box still lots to do but I thought you might like to see how I have got on.
I made the bunting and the wall hangings.

The fireplace is a Christmas ornament i have a few years.

I made a skirt for the tree and some more decorations on it.

The little red and green ornaments hanging on the fireplace were made from a tutorial on Monikas blog I didn't have any moss so I used pom-poms but I think they look pretty :)))

I also made this little snow scene in the bottle. I made the tiny snowman from fimo he did have a hat but it fell off :D and the tree is a tiny piece of pipe cleaner. The hardest part was trying to stick the little stars to the inside of the bottle lol. I hope you like my room so far I am having a lot of fun with it and plan on putting lots more into it including the bottle.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week and for all those of you that are not feeling the best I wish you a speedy recovery. Big Hugs to you All.
A big welcome to all my new followers I hope you enjoy your visit.
Hugs to All my Friends.

Hi Maria! Wow! Your Christmas roombox is coming along so nicely! I love your tiny bunting and the miniature snow globe in a bottle--they are absolutely fantastic! Everything looks so sweet and adorable. Thank you for your well wishes. I've had a cold that has been dragging on and on, but I hope I've turned the corner after much rest this weekend. I love seeing your posts! xo Jennifer

You already have so many fine details in your Christmas box. Impressive with the little Santa Claus in the glass.
The way your mother carries her age, is probably what we all dream about. I also want to be fresh and hearty, I will not sing for anyone, it would be a shame for people, but less can probably also do it.
Hugs to you both.

I can see you sticking stars to the bottle. :-) Maria, you are the star! It have been so windy here that I don't wonder why your snowman's hat flew away. Though..the wind brought us 'some' degreeses....
Warm hugs!

Hi Maria

I can surely see the "Christmas Spirit" alive and well in your room box. Coming along nicely!
Best Wishes,

how cute everything looks! I love the little ornaments hanging from the mantle- and the tiny bottle is adorable! Happy Birthday wishes to your Mom- how wonderful that she is still singing--and for the "old folks" too!

Hi Maria,
Your mum sounds wonderful, my Papa used to describe himself as X amount of years young. Tell her to keep on singing, being vivacious, and keeping active that's what keeps her young and healthy! I love the picture at the end of the album of pictures of my Papa's 90th birthday. It was such a huge party it had to be held in the church hall! At the end of the night my Aunt snapped a picture of my Papa sweeping the floor, cleaning up after his own party!
I love your Christmas room box, I can tell you have put lots of loving care into it. Keep up the good work!
Big Hugs from Canada,
Ruth

Happy late birthday - looks like she's one of those special people who were born young and staying young at heart... hope she'll be singing many, many more songs. Your Christmas room got some stunning improvements and I really adore that snowman in the jar. Isn't there a song that runs "Mush a ring dum a doo dum a da,
Whack for my daddy'o
Whack for my daddy'o, there's
a snowman in the jar, o"... eh... or something like that... *grin*

Hugs

Hello Maria! It is wonderful that your Mother is so healthy and fresh and young in mind! :)
My mother just had her 85th birthday, we had quite a big celebration for her...but she doesn`t remember it at all because she has the memory sickness.

Your Christmas ornaments and decorations are very beautiful!
Hugs
