Christmas Preparations of Cards and Flowers

By Angela @daisyangel1
The first week of December has arrived, I have been waiting patiently and have lots planned, as I will not be working for the whole month! 

My Christmas card swap from Eternally 28

I am just about to sit down and write my Christmas Cards for family and friends.  I also have a special card I send to Japan each year, so I need to get a move on to get this in the post if it is to arrive in time for Christmas.This year for the first time I have joined in with a Blogger Christmas Card Swap, a lovely idea all organised by Amy at Love Made My Home.  I was matched with blogger Rachel at Eternally 28, I have been following Rachel's blog for a few years now - so it was nice to get the chance to exchange Christmas Cards. I have sent Rachel one of the lovely handmade felt cards from Nell Makes.Thank you Rachel for my lovely and first Christmas Card of the year!

Christmas Hyacinth


Hyacinth Bulb grown in water

My Christmas flowering Hyacinth is growing well. I have planted three bulbs this year, the other two are in slightly cooler places in the house so are a week or two behind in growth. But hopefully one of them will bloom in time for Christmas Day - fingers crossed.

Rooting well through the glass beads

For those of you that are celebrating Christmas I hope your preparations are going well.
