Starting the countdown...

Here we are december the 1st,the calendar has been turned over for the last time this year...
Love of my life has his own advent calendar...

filled with chocolate paws which dont come out quick enough for love of my life...


And here is the 'cooked' cake which i showed your on my last post..not burnt to a sinder.....


Today i have made a smaller version for my mum & dad...which smells just as scrummy....

It seems such a waste after you have used the peel from the oranges & lemons to just through the rest away....

And now to introduce you to the latest addition to my hug who i brought home on friday when i went to my bear club...i would like you to meet 'oscar'....

Oscar is by the very talented Gail Thornton of Bisson Bears,you will have heard me talk about gail & her wonderful bears before...i am getting a nice collection of bisson bears now...


They have such delighful faces....

& wonderful eyes,which seem to look up at you....


The attention to detail is wonderful...

Oscar certainly looks up to his big brother albus...

I managed after quite a bit of searching to get my hands on the 2010 teddy bear annual... which i am really enjoying flicking through..

I keep getting drawn to this page with bears by Sue Lain...i think the little green guy is rather cute...
And someone else is getting into the christmas spirit....my dear little rupert...x

From looking at everyones blogs it looks like all of you are getting into the christmas spirit too!!
