Decememe; Bright.

I did say a few days ago that you might see a little more of the Festival of Trees at the airport.

Well I think this works for Bright...

Festival of trees 7


Today at work I put the Christmas tree up in our office - it is only tiny, though.

Also I have taken 18 of the plain cupcakes I made the other night out of the freezer and topped them for the children at tomorrow's Messy Church; wrote and printed the prayer notices for church on Sunday; got S2C to go down to Church with me so that I could get the Sunday School Christmas tree, and decorations, off the loft, put the tree up and the lights onto it so that the Messy group can help decorate it... and all that between finishing work and having dinner!

Oh - and I've written - um - four Christmas cards today...

Yeah, that's "cough" bright all right...

I rather like the rainbow one - it's growing on me.

A circus Christmas tree, maybe?

Nope...not feeling the warmth of the season with that one.

The front one is baby themed - the stork on the top has a baby in its beak as is traditional - and all the little baskets have teddies and so on in them - it was made by a nursery.

Not sure who sponsored the rainbow one, though!

Most definitely bright. Image

I haven't had dinner yet, and your cupcakes are making my mouth water.

Cupcakes are one of those things I can produce pretty quickly and small people like them! The secret is to make the cakes when you have time and bung them in the freezer - so all I have to do is pipe the buttercream on them, whilst still frozen even - they defrost quickly.

I guess "bright" is one way to describe it :)

[identity profile] curiouswombat.livejournal.com 2012-12-07 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
It would have done for 'shiny' too... :)

I love the stork tree topper! Is that a tree for people to choose families to donate gifts for? Or just a baby-theme one? And the rainbow tree is... very rainbowy. LOL Can't say I've ever seen one quite like that.

You had a very busy day, but a productive one, as usual.

It's the tree sponsored by a local nursery - people vote for their favourite, make donations, and the money goes to Save The Children.

I don't know who sponsored the rainbow one, though.

I want the rainbow one!

I'm rather taken with that one myself! It is definitely shiny!

A most productive day!

The need to do things comes in little waves - I need Messy Church sorted by today, I need the Nativity Service for next week written in time to give people what they are doing in church tomorrow, then I'll need more cakes made for a cake stall on the 15th... and so on!

They are great - thanks for that

Aren't they fun? I've got a few more to use before Christmas, too!

I really like the multicoloured one! :D

[identity profile] curiouswombat.livejournal.com 2012-12-08 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too - I could quite go for one of those!

Goodness, that was a busy day - hope you got a good night's sleep after all that.

I'm loving all the airport christmas trees.

I did get a good night's sleep - and then today has been equally busy! But fun.

I have a few more pics from the Festival of Trees - I'll probably use them to fill odd gaps here and there in the Decememe.

Very cute. I love the tie-dye tree in the background though!

[identity profile] curiouswombat.livejournal.com 2012-12-08 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I like that one, too.

I prefer the 'rainbow' tree to the other one, but they both qualify as Bright!

You've been busy - sit down and relax ;-)

I like the rainbow one, too.

Today has been just as busy - but fun!
