A stolen tradition…

December 9, 2010 34 Comments by Kirsty

stolen decos

Remember last years stolen decorations?

They are officially a tradition now. I’ve gone nuts with the transparent thread & have been suspending little reminders of 2010 for my lovely mates.

I’ve gifted a few already & there are a few still to post.

You should totally steal this tradition for yourself…it’s a really good goosebumpy one.

    J'adore this! I buy my Mum a new decoration for her tree every year and haven't found one I love this year and I think you've just given me inspiration. Thanks! :)

    I love these baubles too :) I fill mine with differnt types of tea leaves and dried herbs, the smell, mingling with pine needles is amazing.

    What is this invisible thread you speak of! That opens a whole new realme of possibility.

    Sadly my button ones bit the dust – they are very fragile, and we had a tree collapse disaster.

    Ahhh I knew I had seen ideas for filling these somewhere in my distant memory. I don't feel too bad now that I see it was a year ago. I managed to get 6 packs of these for $1/pack from Spotlight a couple of weeks ago as each pack had 1 broken one in it ( but 5 UNBROKEN ones). Now I have a plan…………..

    Great idea! I like the idea of having a collection of them built up over the years, too. I think this is about to get stolen AGAIN…!

    sounds like a really good idea! It will be great if these are on an exchange basis, each year, u get something different from the recipients in turn. what a great way to store memories!
