D-d has set off back to York - I took her to the airport this afternoon, and she should be back in her house by now

Oooh, I love the 'swirly' bauble pic. Your golden tree is lovely.

[curiouswombat]

The swirly one is fun - I like the one that's come out heart-shaped, too.

We have collected gold and glass ornaments for a while now - so the tree looks quite 'themed' even though a lot of the decorations make us go 'That's the one D gave me... that's one of the ones we got in Hexham... that one came from York...' and so on.

I especially like the flying saucer picture. *g* Also the view from the graveyard, which looks so peaceful and pensive, yet not sad.

[curiouswombat]

I like your very suitable icon for the flying saucer picture!

Yes - the picture of the churchyard just 'worked' - I was very happy with it when I saw it on screen.

Lovely pics! Love the artistic ones

Hope tomorrow goes well

[curiouswombat]

The arty ones were fun! By about lunch time tomorrow I'll feel as if I've never been away; I'll probably have just about finished replying to all the voice mail messages by then...

Oh, I like your tree! that's very elegant. And lovely decorations, too. The graveyard is very restful. And your bear reminds me that I meant to take pics of my own Best Christmas Present this year -- a collectible bear called Mitzi...

The gold and glass ornaments have been collected over the past fifteen or so years, and the assorted red and gold baubles - I must say I do like the end result - but we still keep getting ornaments that we like - so it does tend towards the cluttered!

One of my favourite things isn't in the photos - it is a big glass vase filled with spare red and gold baubles and a set of coloured lights, that sits on the hearth.

I was really happy with that second churchyard picture - I simply turned, thought 'That really is a lovely view' and snapped.

Oh - what sort of bear is Mitzi?

[clodia_metelli]

Small and grey and fluffy, um. I'll post a pic sometime, because she really made me very happy. (I'd gone to a Christmas craft market with a couple of friends and had seen the stall of collectible bears and cooed over them all and this one in particular and some length, and had eventually decided I couldn't really justify spending that much on myself when I was meant to be buying Christmas presents for other people. So when I opened my present from said friends and Mitzi tumbled out...)

So when I opened my present from said friends and Mitzi tumbled out...

Oh - that is the very best sort of present to get!

[enigmaticblues]

I really like the pictures you played with. They turned out great! And I love the angel lights.

[curiouswombat]

I have to admit I took a few of the pictures especially so that I could play with them. I think a couple might make festive icons for next year. The row of angels on the mantelpiece were this year's new decoration - we usually get one new thing a year.
