Santa Cupcakes...

Whipped up these little darlings for a children's Christmas party event...

 You can buy so many cute cupcake kits now.

They certainly make life very easy 

when pre-Christmas events are a Santa's gift list long,

 and you just have run out of time for anything more elaborate!

 Simply whip up your favourite cupcake recipe...

 Ice with buttercream frosting...

 Decorate with sugar sprinkles...

 I chose red!

 Pop the toppers in...

This kit had two designs, Santa's hat and Santa's face.

And the children LOVED them!

A Red & Green Christmas...

The sitting room is glittering and sparkling

in the gorgeousness of Christmas!

With a theme of red and green.

Dishes full of tinsel rope...

Red spotty reindeer's hand-crafted from felt.

Mini fabric teddy bear ornaments...

red and gold stars with sparkles...

A tin Santa at the top of the tree...

And pretty gingham bows...

A wreath and a Christmas bear...

And Santa too!

A little reminder, if friends have left gifts under the tree already...

'Do Not Open Till Christmas!'

Snowman and his Christmas present sack...

And sweet wee birds, 

wearing hats!

A dove or two, 

that represent peace...

Angelica the Christmas Angel bear

says "Merry Christmas to you'.

All hearts come home for Christmas.

'Santa, I've been a good Doggie'...

There's bunting...

and a book paper butterfly...

I love the way the mantel looks!

So here's another pic!

In a basket... there's a sweet Christmas bird.

 And books all about Christmas!

Wishing all my friends and followers...

a merry happy and safe Christmas!

Arabella loves Christmas too!
