Merry Christmas

This is my last post before I fly home for Christmas, so I want to wish you all a Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year. I will be back in January with some fun posts - we are revisiting some of the Style Resolutions from last year to assess how successful the writers were. Then, we will have a new series of Style Resolutions for 2010 from some British bloggers. Would you like to take part? I'm looking for perhaps one more British blogger to take part. Leave me a comment if you are interested - please note that if you leave me an anonymous comment, or your blogger profile is not enabled, then I can't respond to you.

I want to leave you with some of my favourite blog posts from 2009 from different bloggers around the world. This is a pretty succinct list, as there have been so many I have enjoyed, and so many ideas I have taken from them.

Have a great Christmas!

*Adored this perpetual anniversary gift
*Hot chocolate gift
*A lace fence

I'm not sure if this is just a style resolution or a lifestyle revolution but I'll be taking up Dottie Angle's challenge of an utmost kind next year. My family are quaking in their boots!

Pixelhazard, my friend put hers on a string which went up over the top of the door and was pinned on the inside - I'm going to try that next year as there's nowhere to hang mine on the front of the door either.

Thanks for the link, can't wait to check out the rest of the list.

Pixelhazard, do you not have wreath hangers? They are a hook that slips over the top of your door. Best invention ever!
