* * I'm going to miss this magazine * *

Issue 60 arrived on my doormat yesterday and it was a bit of a bittersweet moment. Its a fabulous issue but it's also the last issue. I think it is such a shame that the magazine has folded, I think that it has really improved over the last few months and this was a top issue.

At least it ended on a high. :)

So although it's still November this is the December magazine and thus featured Christmassey layouts. I am always really really rubbish at taking Christmas photos, but I do love this one of our tree from last year.
Nothing beats a real tree and I do love the randomness of the tree decorations that we have collected over the years. There is no theme, no rules, if they are pretty and I like them then they end up on the tree.

Though our collection is nothing like my parents, they win the electic tree award, some of my favourites on their tree are Harry Potter, the Little Mermaid, a lego snowman, Dumbledore, photos of us kids in tiny frames, a Christmas barbie as the fairy, a poker chip from Vegas and a fake ice cube from New York. I kid you not.

It really is most random, maybe this year i will photograph all these beauties and add them to my Journal Your Christmas

Also in the magazine...

This was actually this February when we all enjoyed an unexpected "snow day" as London slid to a halt in the snow.
