    ⭐ Excited about the new craft I'm showing you in the video - cute yarn beanie hats - woo hoo! Definitely feeling a little frazzled today but it's all going to plan and I've just had a wonderful skinnydip in the sea with my Danish Besties in the dark (it is dark by 3.30pm here now) What is YOUR self-care today?! 👏🏼😍🏊🏼 I may be making more beanie hats tonight, ha ha!

      Hi Diane! Those little beanies are adorable! Tweetie and Sparky 🥰 Your Christmas tree looks great! I still have Christmas ornaments from when I was a kid (I am your age). My self care has been reading a book my daughter got me for my birthday! I hope you have a great rest of your day!

      Those extra cables and electrical cords will leave my house in the new year! Enjoying Christmas activities now, feeling smug and relaxed thanks to your advice to preplan so far ahead.

      Sending my last Christmas gifts and hoping they’ll arrive in time, I’ll reward myself with a bath (and maybe some Lindt dark chocolate) in the evening, when it’s dark outside, maybe at 4.30 p.m.

    I have been sorting through 1000s of photos since my mum passed away. I'm giving old ones out to family and friends with their Christmas cards. They are loving the memories and I am decluttering and sorting!

    I love the personal retro Christmas ornaments. It makes the tree much more interesting than one with only new matching ornaments. Merry Christmas!

    Those little hats are adorable!! I am going to find instructions on making them. I love the idea of giving them with a piece of chocolate. They look cute on your tree, too. Your tree is beautiful and I love that you brought home some family ornaments from your mum's house. I have some from my childhood and it is a true joy to see them each year.

    You cracked me up with the "weird bald angel"description, Diane! 😄 It's so neat to hear the stories behind some of your ornaments. We have some vintage ones like that, too; a very similar reindeer in particular. Thanks for continuing to help us stay sane and cheerful through this last crazy week! 💙

    Just spent 25 minutes shovelling snow. We’re supposed to get about 10 to 15 cm today with -18 degree C temperatures (-27 C with the windchill). 🌨️🌬️🥶 Might be a good day to bake some cookies since I haven’t done any of that yet this month. 🇨🇦

    By doing a little each day while I was getting over my cold, we're all decorated and, with a daily pupa, in good shape for any company who might stop by. My decluttering over the next 2 weeks is going to be a couple of shelves in our storage closet. That will make putting away the decorations easier when it's time to do that🎄 👍🙂

    Merry Christmas to you and your family Diane! Thanks for all the inspiration you give us and motivation to keep declutterring. I cherish my vintage family Christmas decorations as well. My mother passed away in 2017 at the age of 94. I have beautiful lace snowflakes that she crocheted I hang on my tree. I’ve not mentioned this before, but you resemble my mother when she was in her 50’s; that must be why I always find another bit of comfort in watching your videos. 😊. - Anne in Ohio

    My Danish friend is coming soon and I’ve cleaned the guest room and made the bed ready. His adult son asked if he could send things to me and his first packet arrived today. He said it was cheaper posted to me rather than to Denmark so my friend will take it back to Denmark for him in the new year. I don’t often have a tree but will cut some twigs and put a few baubles on them next week. Have a lovely Xmas and New Year x
