Deck The Halls

An Australian Christmas may be hot and dry, but that doesn't mean we don't get into the spirit of Christmas and decorate for the occasion. One of the greatest joys of being a crafter is putting those skills to good use at Christmas time and going over the top to add to the feeling of festive cheer. Red and green is predominant in my decorating and I tend just to add to the mix each year.
